Need Advice on Jasmine cuttings

| I received through a trade a few jasmine cuttings, some were wilted and the others wanted to know if I should stick them in water first to root them before sticking them in soil medium. What type of soil medium is recommended? Is there a chance the wilted ones will survive? Chris |

| I'd pot them immediately in straight perlite, or perlite with a little potting soil mixed in, mist 'em morning and night, no direct sun, and cross your fingers. I don't think jasmines root very well in water (somebody correct me if I'm wrong), and the longer you wait the less chance they'll strike. Don't forget the rooting hormone! Jim |

| Jasmine Sambac cuttings need high humidity and a bright shade. I have had success with coconut husk along with a rooting powder or gel. I use a flat with a high dome. |

| Anyone know whether cactus potting soil would work? Composition is as follows: 40% peat moss, 35% organic compost (forest products or reed sedge peat, 20% vermiculite, 5% washed sand The instruction sheet it came with says to use a soilless mix. It also suggested lots of light, i.e. window with southern exposure - that seems to contradict Jim's advice...I'm confused whether to put it on a sunny window or not. |
