Description
If the Stephanotis floribunda (jasminoides) is better known as the Madagascar Jasmine, it is because of its Malagasy origins and the heady scent of its large white flowers. It is a climbing plant with twining stems and evergreen foliage that grows in semi-shaded forests, clinging to tree branches. Given its need for warmth and ambient humidity, this elegant tropical plant is cultivated in greenhouses or as an indoor plant.
The Stephanotis floribunda belongs to the apocynaceae family, just like periwinkle, false jasmine (Trachelospermum), and Mandevilla laxa. It is a twining vine with few branches and round section stems that coil around its support to climb higher and higher. In the ground, on the islands, it can climb up to 6m (20ft). Cultivated in a pot, the Madagascar Jasmine remains more modest in size (2.50 to 3m (8 to 10ft)). Its foliage persists year-round. It consists of ovate leaves measuring 8 to 15 cm (3 to 6in) long, thick, and a shiny dark green. They are marked by a large central vein that is slightly lighter. The leaves are arranged opposite each other on the stem. The flowering occurs from spring to autumn. Small clusters of 3 to 6 white flowers, with a tubular base that opens into 5 spread lobes, appear at the axil of the leaves. These flowers, with their thick and waxy texture, are very fragrant. Their fragrance is similar to that of jasmine.
Cultivate the Madagascar Jasmine in a warm greenhouse or indoors. It can be trained on trellises, arches, or a small structure made with stakes and wires. Direct light should be avoided, and in a greenhouse, it should be filtered to prevent leaf burn. A soil mix of leaf compost, one-third ericaceous compost, and one-third bark will suit it perfectly. Water once or twice a week from spring to autumn, without letting water stagnate in the saucer under the pot. In winter, only water when the soil dries out. Regularly mist water on the foliage to maintain ambient humidity. The ideal temperature is between 18 and 22°C (64.4 and 71.6°F), with atmospheric humidity levels close to 50%. For example, it can be paired, in a pot on the terrace, with another climbing plant that blooms at a different time, such as a passionflower, a 'Tangerine Slice' Black-eyed Susan, or a tuberous wisteria.

Planting and care
Madagascar jasmine is exclusively grown in pots in our climate, as it does not tolerate temperatures below 5 °C (41°F). The ideal temperature will range between 18 and 22 °C (64.4 and 71.6°F). A leaf-based potting soil, lightened with one-third compost and one-third bark, will be perfect. Quickly install a support on which the vines can attach. Since Madagascar jasmine branches very little, do not hesitate to plant multiple plants in the same pot, 10-15 cm (4-6in) apart. Keep the soil moist, but not excessively so, during growth. Water once or twice a week from spring to autumn, without allowing water to stagnate in the saucer under the pot. In winter, only water when the soil dries out. Regularly spray water on the foliage to maintain ambient humidity close to 50%, which will also prevent attacks from mites. Regularly remove faded flowers to maintain beauty and promote renewal.
Repot young plants every year, and then every 3 years, in spring before the development of new shoots. Prune during repotting and during the growing season.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
