Identifying Seed Pods on Jasmine (Stephanotis floribunda)

The "green beans" appearing on a fragrant jasmine vine are seed pods. If the plant is Stephanotis floribunda, these pods can be harvested for propagation.

How to Sow Stephanotis Seeds

1. Sow seeds on damp (not soggy) potting mix.
2. Lightly cover with milled sphagnum moss — do not bury completely; light aids germination.
3. Maintain 70–80°F and high humidity (use a plastic bag over the pot).
4. Germination takes 1–3 months.

If you don't want more plants, simply remove the pods; they won't harm the vine.
