Info on the Stephanotis Flower
When we talk about Stephanotis plant care, we’re talking about Stephanotis floribunda, or Madagascar jasmine, though it is not a member of the jasmine family. It is one of five to 10 species identified within the genus of twining vine-like shrubs and is the most popular among indoor gardeners. The flowers present as narrow, tubular, waxy horns about 2 inches (5 cm.) in length. Each flower has a crown of five lobes and stamens that someone long ago thought looked like tiny ears; hence the name from the Greek stephanos (crown) and otis (ear). The leaves are leathery, oval shaped, and opposite and the plant’s woody tendrils can grow to 20 feet (6 m.) in the wild. Because it is a tender, tropical perennial, info on the Stephanotis flower is usually directed to indoor care, for Stephanotis is very particular about its mini-climate environment.
Care for Stephanotis
If you live in an area that meets the requirements for Stephanotis plant care — sufficient rain, high humidity, warm winters — you can grow this plant outdoors year round, but for most gardeners, these beauties will spend at least part of their year indoors, particularly in winter. Indoor care of Stephanotis can be problematic and they tend to suffer from shock when their environment is radically changed. One of the reasons there isn’t more written about Stephanotis plant care is their difficult nature. These fussy tropicals aren’t the easiest plants to care for. Stephanotis are easiest to grow in greenhouses where strict attention can be paid to their needs. But with time and effort, it is possible to care for Stephanotis in your home. In order to provide the optimum environment for your Stephanotis, plant care should begin with the soil. These plants require a rich loamy soil that retains constant moisture, yet you can never leave them with soggy roots, which will cause the leaves to curl and the plant to die. A trellis should be provided, though when grown indoors, Stephanotis floribunda rarely grows to its maximum height. They should be fertilized with a half strength solution twice a month during the growing season and the plants should be misted regularly since they demand a relative humidity level of 40 to 80 percent. Because of their need for warmth and constant moisture, Stephanotis plants are also susceptible to both mealybugs and scale. Summer temperatures are more flexible for Stephanotis flowers as long as averages remain around 70-80°F. (22°C). They prefer cooler nights of 55-60°F. (13-16°C). Since they are tropical in nature, they require medium to bright light, but tend to burn in direct sunlight.
Winter Indoor Care of Stephanotis Flowers Stephanotis are particularly challenging in winter. Indoor care of Stephanotis doesn’t mesh well with the winter care of people. They demand much cooler temperatures hovering around 55°F. (13°C). If the temperature rises too high, the plant will die. Anything below 50°F. (10 C.) is usually too cold for the plant’s survival. Their watering requirements drop dramatically, but they still like the occasional misting. Do not fertilize during the winter months.
