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.
Very informative article, thanks. I do have one question. I grow species and primary species Phalaenopsis and Cattleya orchids. You discussed the time of 6-12 months from pollination to mature seed pod and the few days to many months for germination but how long does it take to get from germination to roots that are ready for a community pot.
