Stephanotis floribunda, commonly known as the Madagascar jasmine or bridal bouquet, is a fragrant, evergreen vine native to Madagascar. It is renowned for its clusters of waxy, white, star-shaped flowers that emit a sweet, jasmine-like scent, making it a popular choice for weddings and floral arrangements. The plant has glossy, dark green leaves and can grow up to 10 feet or more when supported by a trellis or other structure. Thriving in warm, tropical climates, it requires bright, indirect light and well-drained soil, with regular watering and humidity to flourish. Stephanotis floribunda is admired for both its beauty and its aromatic blooms, though it can be somewhat challenging to grow due to its specific care needs
Caring for Stephanotis floribunda, or Madagascar jasmine, requires attention to its specific needs to encourage healthy growth and beautiful blooms. Here's a guide to its care:
-
Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, but too little light can result in poor flowering. A spot near a window with filtered sunlight is ideal.
-
Temperature: This plant thrives in warm, humid environments. Ideal temperatures range from 60°F to 75°F (15°C to 24°C). It’s sensitive to cold, so keep it away from drafts or areas with temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
-
Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Reduce watering in the winter when the plant is not actively growing.
-
Humidity: Stephanotis enjoys high humidity. If your home is dry, consider placing the plant on a humidity tray or using a room humidifier to maintain moisture in the air.
-
Soil: Use a well-draining, lightweight potting mix, such as one designed for tropical plants. Ensure that the container has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
-
Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing in the fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows down.
-
Pruning: Prune lightly to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged stems. After flowering, you can cut back the vine to encourage new growth and improve airflow.
-
Support: As a climbing vine, Stephanotis needs a trellis, stake, or other form of support to grow properly. Ensure it has space to spread out and climb.
-
Repotting: Repot the plant every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and give it room to grow. Do this in the spring before the plant’s active growing season.
With proper care, Stephanotis floribunda can thrive indoors and produce its signature fragrant, star-shaped flowers. However, it can be a bit temperamental, so consistency in its care routine is key.
