Species in this genus
The ones growers meet most — each links to its own page.
Stephanotis floribunda
Bridalwreath
Stephanotis floribunda is a woody climbing liana from Madagascar that twines upward and wants support and warmth. Give it bright indirect light and let the top inch or two of mix approach dry before watering again, as its roots resent sitting wet. As a vigorous climber it appreciates steady but moderate moisture during active growth and noticeably less in cool, dim months.
Stephanotis volubilis
Jukti
Stephanotis volubilis is a woody climber native across tropical and subtropical Asia, where it scrambles through warm, humid forest margins with support and good light. Give it a sturdy trellis and bright indirect light, and water when the top inch or two of mix has dried, letting it approach dryness between waterings rather than sitting wet. It tolerates ordinary household humidity but appreciates warmth and steady moisture during active growth.

Kept true by its growers
Stephanotis keeps evolving — species move, cultivars appear, IDs get corrected. If you can place an unplaced plant or add a species we’re missing, the whole genus gets truer.
