How Do You Look After a Stephanotis Plant

To flower well and grow, a Stephanotis plant requires a bit of care as regards watering and fertilizer. Water regularly but not too much, to avoid suffocating roots. Watering 1 time a week should be enough. Adding liquid flower plant fertilizer every fortnight will enhance the blooming and growth.

Why are the flowers on my stephanotis falling off?

The most common causes for premature bud drop are dryness or water logging. Also, they hate sudden changes in temperature, particularly a drop in temperature and cold draughts, so moving it can also cause bud drop.

Why are the leaves on my stephanotis going yellow?

Stephanotis grows best when the compost is constantly moist (but not wet). The most common causes for leaf yellowing are extremes of watering, either dryness or water-logging. Also, they hate sudden changes in temperature and cold draughts, so keeping them on a window sill in cold nights can also cause leaf drop.
