bridal wreath · Stephanotis floribunda
Also known as: chaplet flower; clustered waxflower; floradora; Madagascar chaplet flower; Madagascar jasmine; stephanotis; waxflower
Stephanotis cultivation under glass grow in loam-based or loam-less compost, in full light with shade from hot sun. During growth, water and mist freely. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every two to three weeks. Water sparingly in winter and support climbing stems. Usually grown as a houseplant
Routine pruning is unnecessary; shorten overlong shoots to fit the available space. For last-year flowering growth, prune after flowering; for current-year flowering growth, prune in late winter or spring. This guidance is for established plants.
