Stephanotis take anywhere from two weeks to two months to germinate. After about two weeks as small seedlings prick them out and plant them into a larger container. Stephanotis grows throughout most of Australia, although the plant doesnt thrive in the cold.
Once the plant reaches maturity, it flowers each spring. The specific growing time for fruit depends on the species being planted. Purple passion fruit vines take 60 to 80 days to mature, fruiting from early to mid summer.Yellow passion fruit specimens produce for much longer, flowering from spring until late autumn with a short break in the early part of summer.ver the course of two to three years, they will reach heights of at least 10 feet. The actual size of a passion fruit vine depends on the available growing space and the size of its trellis. Frost damage may slow the plant's growth rate down, causing it to take as much as an additional year to mature.
