Stephanotis floribunda, commonly known as Madagascar Jasmine or Bridalwreath, is an evergreen vine native to the forests of Madagascar. It typically grows to a height of 12-20 feet and a width of 3-6 feet. This vine is characterized by its oval, glossy green leaves and clusters of pure white, waxy, intensely fragrant tubular flowers that bloom in summer. The star-shaped flowers are about 3 cm long and are particularly showy, making it a favored plant for ornamental use. After blooming, the flowers fade to yellow, and their fragrance may become less pleasant.

Madagascar Jasmine is valued for its beautiful and fragrant flowers, which are often used in bridal bouquets. It is suitable for trellises, arbors, and as a houseplant. In cultivation, it requires full sun to part shade, medium water, and well-draining soil with a high content of loam and peat moss. It thrives in climates with moderate temperatures, high humidity, and distinct seasonal cycles. Pruning should be minimal to encourage new growth, which is necessary for flowering. It can be grown in pots and is known to perform well when root-bound. During the summer growth season, it needs full sun, abundant water, high humidity, and balanced fertilizer. When temperatures cool, it should be brought indoors to a sunny location. Potential problems include mealybugs and scale insects. Overwatering can lead to root rot. It is not tolerant of frost and should be protected from cold temperatures.CC BY-SA 4.0
