Stephanotis floribunda plants – ( Madagascar Vine)

Description

These Stephanotis floribunda plants are  quite small, they are  about 12 cm high, and are in 8cm pots.

Stephanotis floribunda plants are  climbing vines. They climb to  to about  6 m. They have   attractive smooth glossy green leaves , which bear waxy white, marvellously scented flowers on new growth.  see the writeup on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephanotis.

This plant loves warmth  and will not tolerate cold below about 4 Deg C.  Grow it in a pot which can be shifted indoors into a glasshouse  in colder areas of the country. In warmer areas whose temperatures  don’t dip much below 4 deg C, you can grow it  outside . Put it in  a sheltered position in bright light but not direct sun, and if you get even the suggestion of frost make sure it is in a frost free area . It likes humid warm conditions so our northern North Island regional climate suits it well. It seems to  flower better when the roots are constrained a little, so try planting  it next to a path where its roots are constrained by the concrete.
