Carol, I rooted some cuttings of Confederate jasmine last year. Here's how I did it. I took cuttings more toward the tip --- say semi hardwood type in May. I filled a pot with pearlite & watered it well then used a pencil to make a hole for each cutting (after stripping all but the top 2 rows of leaves). I stuck the moistened stem of each cutting in powdered cinnamon then stuck them down into the holes I had made in the pearlite. Firmed the pearlite against the stems. Watered again. Put the pot on our shaded back porch that gets lots of light but only about 1 hour of sun per day. It took them 2 months to show new growth leaves. They had then rooted. You will need to water the cuttings once in a while but don't let the pearlite get & stay soggy.
