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.
To harvest seeds, keep an eye out for ripeness. The back of the flower head will turn from green to yellow and the bracts will begin to dry and turn brown; this happens about 30 to 45 days after bloom and seed moisture is about 35%. Generally, when the head turns brown on the back, seeds are usually ready for harvest.
