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.
Seeds can take up to 2 weeks to sprout. Pre-soaking in warm water for 48 hours will speed germination. Set transplants out as soon as the soil has warmed, probably the second half of May, then protect the plants from frost both spring and fall. Plant one to three plants in a hill, with hills at least 6 feet apart.
