Arabian jasmine is best propagated by cuttings.

Using a clean garden saw  cut a stem about 6 inches long. Cut directly under a leaf. Remove the leaves from the lower half of the cuttings. Dip the cut end into rooting hormone. Using a stick  make a hole in the moist soil. Gently insert the cutter into the hole. Avoid pressing too hard on the dirt as this can damage the cut.

When new growth appears  remove the bag and move to an area with bright  indirect light. When it is established  slowly move to a sunny location.
