Stephanotis Floribunda: Why Your Vigorous Vine Isn't Flowering Yet

Common Flowering Barriers

• Excess nitrogen: Lawn fertilizer runoff promotes leaves, not blooms. Shield from runoff.
• Immaturity: Can take 1–2 years after planting to first bloom.
• Cold damage: Temperatures below 30°F (-1°C) kill flower buds.

Corrective Care

• Side-dress with well-composted manure (goat, horse, cow).
• Ensure support for vertical growth.
• Water consistently; mulch root zone.

Bloom Window

Expect flowers from mid-summer to autumn once mature and properly fed.
