STEPHANOTIS
|
|
One of nature's finest gifts, Stephanotis is a bridal bouquet favorite for
its clusters of pure white, 1" funnel flowers with a wonderful fragrance
and waxy appearance. This evergreen vine can be planted outdoors for blossoms
from June throughout the summer or indoors for a six week bloom period.
|
|
1. Light
Outdoors, the roots should be planted in the shade with the top vining through
filtered shade. Indoors, they prefer bright light, early morning sun before the hot part of the day.
|
2. Soil
When planting outdoors, add the Azalea/Camellia Mix to the native soil. When
planting indoors in a container, we suggest an acidic soil mix using a combination of Azalea/Camellia
Mix and peat moss.
|
3. Water
Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Good drainage is a MUST.
|
4. SUPPORT
Stephanotis REQUIRES some type of structure to climb into and twine about,
ideally a trellis or the post of a deck railing where it can lead from post to post.
