Stephanotis Plants Questions & Answers

Q. Stephanotis Planting

I live in central Florida and I have a large Stephanotis planted in a pot. Can I transplant it into the ground? I’ve read that they are an evergreen plant. Is this true?

These evergreen plants are typically grown indoors; however, IF you live in a warm enough climate, you can grow them outdoors. They need filtered light--some sun but not too much or it will scorch foliage.

Q. stephanotis plant

I bought this Stephanotis plant last year for my wife. I have 3 questions:

1. It is now in a little pot. I want to transplant it to a bigger pot. Is this doable?

2. Can I propagate this plant?

3. The plant recently lost its flowers. Will it flower again? When does it flower?

I had a stephanotis plant many years ago. It fared well in the 10 gallon nursery pot it had grown into. It finally sent up a few clusters of blooms, but died one winter when the heaters in that greenhouse failed. The following article has a lot of good information, it should help answer your questions: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/stephanotis/stephanotis-plant-care.htm

Q. stephanotis

Bought a Stefanotis for my wife last year. Has a lot of leaves growing at the bottom of plant, not a lot on top. Can I prune bottom leaves?

Can I propagate this plant from leaf cuttings or does it need a whole vine? It’s in a small pot; should I put it in a bigger pot? There is not a lot of info on this plant.

Thanks

I see no benefit to removing the bottom leaves unless they are yellow or brown. If the plant is potbound, repot it.

These plants normally require a general all-purpose, balanced fertilizer at half strength. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/stephanotis/stephanotis-plant-care.htm
