Because jasmine blooms from spring through fall, it benefits from heavy pruning after that time. Save some of the cuttings from pruning to use for propagation. Cuttings from semi-hardwoods, such as jasmine, work best from stems of the current season’s growth, just after the plant blooms. Take cuttings in the morning hours when the plant is more hydrated than it is later in the day, and prepare your pot before taking a cutting so the stem will be exposed to the air for the shortest time possible.
What to Cut
To help ensure the success of your cuttings, follow these procedures:
Using sharp pruners or flower scissors, cut a 4- to 6-inch piece from the tip of a stem. Cut just below the spot where a leaf attaches to the stem.
Remove any spent flowers or flower buds from the tip of the cutting. You want all the plant's energy to go to its roots, not to developing a flower.
Remove all but the top three leaves on the cutting. You don't want any leaves to touch the soil, because they can develop rot from the soil's moisture.
I haven't done it, but it's worth a try. More reliably, you can air-layer woody plants. Find detailed instructions online, but the basics: choose the stem you wish to use, cut a nick in it, wrap the cut in dampened sphagnum moss and cover with plastic wrap. Don't cut it too deeply, and choosing a stem that isn't in full sun is usually helpful too.
Yes you can, cutting should be at least 6 inches long inches long directly below a leaf. Strip the leaves from the bottom speed up the rooting process with root hormone. (Purchase from a nursery) Place the cutting in a planter with a natural soil base and don't let the soil dry out. The cutting will go through a process and at some point may even look dead but after 3 or sooner you should new roots.

Yes. It roots in water and I have had some success just sticking it in the ground and keeping it wet.
