Default novice and his Jasmine cuttings

In article ,
lid says...
Have just been given a few small cuttings of Jasmine. Are they likely to
root if i pop a couple of them in a glass jar of water indoors on the south
facing window sill? Or should i play safe and put them all in my self
watering (i.e. reservoir of water built into the bottom) window boxes in the
garden. Thanks for advice.



Jasmine is mosly very easy to root by any means you care to use, but it
does depend a bit on what sort of Jasmine you have been given as some of
the more tender evergreen sorts you need to take more care and a
propagator would help, but if you are talking jasmine officinale the
common white hardy jasmine it will root while in your hand! so a glass of
water would be fine :~)
