Introducing the Madagascar Jasmine, known as Stephanotis floribundam, which is a beautiful and fragrant flowering vine that belongs to the Apocynaceae family. It is also known as Stephanotis Jasminoides or Marsdenia floribunda.

Native to the island of Madagascar, which is located off the southeastern coast of Africa, it is known by various names, including "Pikafu" and "Bridal flower," reflecting its popularity in wedding bouquets and its delicate, cascading flowers.  


The Stephanotis floribunda is a woody vine that can climb or trail, depending on its support.

It features glossy, dark oval green leaves that are opposite in arrangement and have a leathery texture.

As it matures, the plant can grow up to 20 feet long. This makes it a great choice for trellises, arbors, or containers where it can be trained to climb or cascade.

The Stephanotis flowers are tubular in shape, with waxy pure white petals that are fused together, forming a star-like shape. They have a sweet and intoxicating fragrance that fills the air, making them a popular choice for bridal Stephanotis bouquets and floral arrangements. These intensely fragrant tubular flowers typically bloom during the spring and summer, in clusters and can last for several weeks, adding a touch of elegance to any setting. 

Propagation of the Madagascar Jasmine can be done through stem cuttings. Take a 4 to 6-inch cutting from a healthy stem, remove the lower leaves, and place it in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the soil consistently moist and provide bright, indirect light. With proper care, the cutting will develop roots and grow into a new Stephanotis plant. 

Watering Needs 

The beautiful Madagascar jasmine vine prefers thorough watering but allows the soil to slightly dry out between waterings. When you do water them, the most important thing is to take care not to overwater them as this can lead to root rot and fungal infections. 

In the spring and summer growth season, your Madagascar Jasmine enjoys regular watering. Water the plant once or twice a week, depending on weather and soil moisture levels, deeply at the base to ensure it reaches the roots. 

In winter, when the plant is in its dormant phase, you'll want to reduce the frequency of watering. Allow the top inch or so of soil to dry out before watering again. Be mindful not to let the plant sit in standing water, as it can be detrimental to its growth rate. 

Remember, it's always a good idea to monitor the moisture levels by checking the soil with your finger. If it feels dry, it's time to water, but if it still feels slightly moist, hold off for a bit. By providing the Madagascar Jasmine with the right amount of water, you'll help it thrive and showcase its lovely blooms.  

Light Requirements 

When growing Stephanotis floribunda indoors, it thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window that receives bright, filtered sunlight for several hours a day. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. 

When grown outdoors, it prefers full sun to partial shade for at least 4-6 hours daily. A location that receives morning full sun exposure and afternoon partly sunny exposure is ideal. This will protect the plant from intense sunlight and prevent leaf burn. 

Pro Tip

It's important to note that the Madagascar Jasmine is sensitive to sudden changes in light conditions. If you're transitioning it from indoors to outdoors or vice versa, acclimate it gradually over a period of a few weeks to prevent shock and leaf drop.

Remember, finding the right balance of light is crucial for your plant's overall health and blooming potential. Providing it with the appropriate light conditions, whether indoors or outdoors, will help it thrive and showcase its beautiful fragrant Stephanotis flowers.  

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Requirements 

The Madagascar Jasmine likes very airy, porous, nutrient-rich soil with a pH of 5.5-6.5. Cacti require fast-draining soil that dries completely between waterings. Your soil mixture must have a sandy texture and a low water-holding capacity, just like desert soil.

As an alternative, you can create your own potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, and good natural potting soil. Ideally, you want to use our specialized potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your vine plant to thrive. 

As for fertilizing, the Madagascar Jasmine benefits from regular feeding during the growing season. You can use a well-balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble NPK fertilizer specifically formulated for flowering plants to encourage prolific bloom. Follow the instructions for the correct dilution and frequency of application. Generally, fertilize once a year in the spring, and reduce or stop fertilizing during the winter months when the Madagascar jasmine plant is in its dormant phase. 

It's important to avoid over-fertilizing the Stephanotis floribunda, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of blooms. Always err on the side of caution and follow the recommended dosage. Additionally, make sure to water the plant thoroughly before applying fertilizer to prevent root burning. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, this Madagascar jasmine prefers a warm environment ideally between 65°F and 75°F. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures but avoid exposing it to temperatures below 55°F as it may cause damage to the plant.

The Stephanotis vines plant appreciates moderate to high humidity levels. You can increase humidity around the plant by misting its leaves with water regularly or placing a tray filled with water and pebbles beneath the pot. This will create a humid microclimate around the plant, mimicking its natural habitat. 

For outdoor cultivation, this Stephanotis floribunda is typically suitable for USDA zones 10-12. It thrives in warm tropical regions where temperatures rarely drop below 30°F. If you live in a colder region, you can still grow it outdoors during the warmer months and bring it indoors or provide protection during winter.

With its glossy dark green leaves, fragrant star-shaped fragrant flowers, and the ability to climb or trail, it adds a touch of elegance to any garden or floral arrangement.

Kinda disappointed
Color: Rgb, Size: 23.6in
The way they connect is really finicky. I wish it came with more tape to have longer spans of shelves.

Matter-enabled High Quality Light Strips
Size: 9.8ft
Great lights. Used these as accent lights behind an entertainment center to avoid harsh overhead lights. Three in total. They put out plenty of light and easy to install and use. Love the Matter integration. Negatives: can’t use the cut portion. Once it’s cut, the extra is useless. Not cheap for a light strip. Purchase if you like the light tech or want Matter integration. You have to guess for “light temperatures” (warm, daylight, etc.). I used a Google search for finding the Hex # to input into light control and fine tune from there Love these and would buy again

Great product, reliable quality!
Size: 9.8ft, Size: 9.8ft
I moved into a new place with wood stairs. There’s a landing step that is invisible at night - it just looks like the floor below the step. Of course, one can only determine a stair to be invisible at night after one misses said stair, falling, twisting ankle and foot, lying on floor cursing and crying for help from the husband at 11pm in the dark. I used painters tape for a couple of weeks. Again, not so helpful at night but there was some distinction. I knew I needed to light this step up to avoid future slips on the invisible step. I love Govee products. I have a Govee metal tall skinny lamp thing which is where I learned about this gummy, straight, light tube that they make. I really did not want the light strips that were cheaper w the separate little lights on them since this was going under a stair and you could see the underside of the stair clearly from our lower living room whilst sitting on the couch. This product was SUPER easy to install. I love that you can cut it to size (though if you need exact I would go with the Govee light strips w the little lights there’s more cut areas closer together). I love that I already have the Govee app and it connected relatively easily (turning things on/off, using airplane mode and unplugging will get you connected). My 2 gripes about Govee… 1. Please figure out how to make strips that you can cut and connect - I want to be able to configure a corner or different shape besides just a straight line. I also want to be able to connect multiple lines to one adapter (I had a cheap one that could do this but I was afraid it would burn my house down). I paid $$$ for a single step and would like to have been able to use the rest of my strip for another step but instead it’s just useless. 2. I wish it dimmed a little more - the 1% is really bright in the dark. This strip is VERY bright. Anyways, love my step and it’s safe to take the painters tape off and have it be a normal step.
