Light requirements
This fragrant beauty loves bright, indirect light and can tolerate a bit of direct morning sun. It thrives when placed in a sunny spot with filtered light. If growing it indoors, make sure it gets plenty of light, but avoid harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch its delicate leaves.
Soil preferences, including pH and drainage
Stephanotis floribunda prefers well-draining, rich, and slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5–6.5). A well-balanced potting mix with added perlite or sand for drainage works well to keep the roots happy and healthy. This plant doesn’t like to sit in waterlogged soil, so good drainage is essential.
Water needs
Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings. This plant loves humidity, so misting occasionally or placing it near other plants can help it thrive. It’s best to avoid letting it dry out completely, as it prefers a more consistent moisture level.
