Stephanotis floribunda

A shrub of tropical origin, with glossy, dark green, leathery foliage and highly fragrant white flowers from May to August. It can be bought in bloom even in winter, but in this case it should be placed indoors, sheltered from low temperatures, as it requires a warm climate to thrive.

A climbing plant, it can reach a height of up to 2 or 3 metres; it can be transplanted into large pots, provided they can be moved indoors to shelter from the winter cold, if you wish to keep the plant for several years. In winter, it is essential to ensure a temperature of no less than 8–10°C and a reasonable amount of light. In summer, it should be placed outdoors in partial shade or light shade.
