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.  

Final Thoughts 

Overall, the Madagascar Jasmine (Stephanotis floribunda) is a captivating flowering vine native to Madagascar. 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. It is commonly used in bridal wreaths due to its beauty and sweet fragrance. When it comes to care, it thrives in bright, indirect light and requires consistently moist, well-draining soil. To grow stephanotis, provide a suitable trellis, wire round, or fencing to support the twining stems or vine's tendrils and prevent tangles. Whether used as a striking ornamental vine, a fragrant addition to floral arrangements, or a symbol of love in bridal bouquets, it is a stunning plant that brings beauty and elegance to any space. Its delicate tubular flowers contrast nicely and make it a Favorite among gardeners and flower enthusiasts alike.

Fun while it lasts…
Color: Pink, Style: Grunt Sound
Fun while it lasts. Doesn’t last very long. This is our third one and last maybe a few weeks. The part that makes noise comes detached inside which causes to toy to no longer make noise, but also can be dangerous if it comes out.

Great alternative to the grunting pigs!
Color: Pink, Style: Grunt Sound
We go through A LOT of dog toys at my dog based business. The grunting pigs are super cute, but they are also super fragile. It is incredibly easy to dislodge the squeaker. (Grunter?) These are certainly not robust chew toys, but the squeaker is about 30% better at staying put than that of the pigs. It's also smaller, so it's easier for the smaller dogs to play with. These are a new favorite! Update: August, 2024 I bought an orange hedgehog. Amazon won't let me review that separately so I had to add to my sheep review. The orange hedgehog is only 3 stars. It is made of a harder plastic than the bear and the sheep. It also has a standard squeaker, not the grunting of the bear and sheep. But harder plastic DOES NOT mean that it will withstand an aggressive chewer! If your dog likes to "kill the squeaker" they will be able to do so in minutes! This IS NOT a chew toy! If you are looking for a toy for an aggressive chewer, look at the Orbeez line from Outward Hound. The other thing that makes me less enthusiastic about the orange hedgehog is that the yellow paint started flaking off immediately. I will have to scrub it all off because it looks terrible! The dogs don't care, but their owners sure do! I haven't had that problem with the sheep or the bears. The orange hedgehog is almost like it's from a completely different company!

Great find for my dog!
Color: Hedgehog, Style: Big Squeak Hedgehog
This is a Big squeaking toy And has become a favorite of my dog. He is a big chewer but he won’t chew at this one he just carries it around and plays catch with it. I believe the little spikes keeps him from heavy chewing on it! Great find for us! But it is a loud squeak!

For the love of a dog!
Color: Blue, Style: Tootiez Hedgehog, Color: Blue, Style: Tootiez Hedgehog
Okay, first - this toy is a hoot. When you first get it and hear it's cute grunting/tooting sound, you can't help but grin and think, Yup! That sounds like somebody in here just tooted! Which for some reason always does seem to be a bit funny, doesn't it? And you'll probably find yourself chuckling a little and saying, Oh how cute. After that, the next logical step is you'll introduce the toy to your dog. And then, depending on your dog's particular personality, you may soon discover (as we did) the amazing love/hate relationship a human can develop with a simple dog toy. We have a 1-yr-old standard poodle whom we named Kenda. And yes, he is named after Joe (for any of you ID fans out there). His official AKC registered name is Lieutenant Kenda, Home Inside Hunter. Corny? No doubt. But it truly seemed an appropriate name for him, because this is the first dog we've ever owned that actually LOVES to play with dog toys and will endlessly hunt them down throughout the house. No toy, however well hidden, stands a chance with this determined toy hunter. As Joe might say, he WILL find you! :) His toys are his friends, and he is fiercely devoted to them. Enter the adorable little rubber hedgehog with his even more adorable "toot". The moment Kenda laid eyes (or ears?) on this little guy, all other toys were forgotten. It was love at first sight. So much so that within a few hours of him playing with this toy to the exclusion of all others, we decided to give him a name. We call him "Blue" (I know, we're so creative). Blue immediately became Kenda's best friend - or at least his best toy. He played with him constantly. He bit him, he wrestled with him, he chewed on him. He brought Blue to us and, if we were sitting down, very carefully placed this slobbery ball of rubber in our laps, as if asking, Can we play catch with Blue? Huh? Pretty please?? Sometimes we did, sometimes we didn't. On those occasions when we didn't, he would play catch with himself, picking Blue up in his mouth, swinging his head, and tossing him across the kitchen; then running/sliding across the kitchen floor to retrieve him on the other side of the room. In the beginning, if Blue was nowhere in sight (and with dogs, out of sight is usually out of mind), the hubby and I would get a kick out of saying, "Kenda, where's Blue?!" Just for the enormous fun of watching a 55-pound poodle suddenly leap a foot in the air, scramble his legs mid-air like Fred Flintstone getting his car started, then half running/half sliding across the kitchen hardwood floor in a desperate effort to find his beloved Blue. Oh, how we entertained ourselves in those early days watching Kenda with his Blue. And through it all, through every bite, squeeze, toss, push, throw, and chew of this toy.......the toot. The grunt. Okay, let's call it what it really sounds like, folks: a FART, okay? There, I've said it. It sounds like your grandpa just passed gas - bigtime. Funny? At first, yes. Hilarious. But a thousand times a day? Over and over and over? While you're trying to talk on the phone? While you're trying to have conversation with each other over coffee at the end of the day? Sometimes for an hour NON-STOP? Well, let's just say the humor of it all began to elude us a bit. And therein lies our love/hate relationship with this adorable little toy. We thought we'd died and gone to heaven one day when Blue stopped tooting. Turns out Kenda had chewed on him so much his tooter (located rather anatomically correctly in his tushie) had fallen out. Or rather IN, since it was now in Blue's tummy. Poor Blue, he couldn't make noise anymore, and although Kenda kept playing with him you could tell he was confused as to why his little buddy had fallen silent and wouldn't "talk" to him anymore. And as much as the hubby and I were enjoying the tooting reprieve, we couldn't take it. By the third silent day, I could almost feel the invisible hands of Amazon coaxing me toward my computer, gently urging me to buy another Blue. But I resisted, folks. I did NOT buy another Blue. I bought TWO more Blues! One for now, and one for that possible future day when this Blue, too, falls silent. Why? Because ... well, because it's BLUE! He's practically a member of the family now. The dog loves Blue, and we love the dog. I guess it's that simple. My final word on this dog toy? It's adorable. It's well made and will hold up to a ton of play and chewing. His tooter may not survive as long; I guess that remains to be seen. And if your dog is anything like mine, well then your sanity may take a hit as well. But if your dog loves his little hedgehog buddy as ours does, and if you love your dog (and you know you do!), then you might decide your sanity is worth the risk. Two thumbs way, WAY up! P.S. Blue now has a friend. We just bought the pink sheep. Kenda is in 7th heaven. Our house sounds like a retirement home after a chili bean supper. And yes, we named him "Pink". I told you - we are nothing if not creative.
