Introducing the Madagascar Jasmine, known as Stephanotis floribundam, which is a beautiful and fragrant flowering vine that belongs to the Apocynaceae family. It is also known as Stephanotis Jasminoides or Marsdenia floribunda.

Native to the island of Madagascar, which is located off the southeastern coast of Africa, it is known by various names, including "Pikafu" and "Bridal flower," reflecting its popularity in wedding bouquets and its delicate, cascading flowers.  


The Stephanotis floribunda is a woody vine that can climb or trail, depending on its support.

It features glossy, dark oval green leaves that are opposite in arrangement and have a leathery texture.

As it matures, the plant can grow up to 20 feet long. This makes it a great choice for trellises, arbors, or containers where it can be trained to climb or cascade.

The Stephanotis flowers are tubular in shape, with waxy pure white petals that are fused together, forming a star-like shape. They have a sweet and intoxicating fragrance that fills the air, making them a popular choice for bridal Stephanotis bouquets and floral arrangements. These intensely fragrant tubular flowers typically bloom during the spring and summer, in clusters and can last for several weeks, adding a touch of elegance to any setting. 

Propagation of the Madagascar Jasmine can be done through stem cuttings. Take a 4 to 6-inch cutting from a healthy stem, remove the lower leaves, and place it in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the soil consistently moist and provide bright, indirect light. With proper care, the cutting will develop roots and grow into a new Stephanotis plant. 

Watering Needs 

The beautiful Madagascar jasmine vine prefers thorough watering but allows the soil to slightly dry out between waterings. When you do water them, the most important thing is to take care not to overwater them as this can lead to root rot and fungal infections. 

In the spring and summer growth season, your Madagascar Jasmine enjoys regular watering. Water the plant once or twice a week, depending on weather and soil moisture levels, deeply at the base to ensure it reaches the roots. 

In winter, when the plant is in its dormant phase, you'll want to reduce the frequency of watering. Allow the top inch or so of soil to dry out before watering again. Be mindful not to let the plant sit in standing water, as it can be detrimental to its growth rate. 

Remember, it's always a good idea to monitor the moisture levels by checking the soil with your finger. If it feels dry, it's time to water, but if it still feels slightly moist, hold off for a bit. By providing the Madagascar Jasmine with the right amount of water, you'll help it thrive and showcase its lovely blooms.  

Light Requirements 

When growing Stephanotis floribunda indoors, it thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window that receives bright, filtered sunlight for several hours a day. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. 

When grown outdoors, it prefers full sun to partial shade for at least 4-6 hours daily. A location that receives morning full sun exposure and afternoon partly sunny exposure is ideal. This will protect the plant from intense sunlight and prevent leaf burn. 

Pro Tip

It's important to note that the Madagascar Jasmine is sensitive to sudden changes in light conditions. If you're transitioning it from indoors to outdoors or vice versa, acclimate it gradually over a period of a few weeks to prevent shock and leaf drop.

Remember, finding the right balance of light is crucial for your plant's overall health and blooming potential. Providing it with the appropriate light conditions, whether indoors or outdoors, will help it thrive and showcase its beautiful fragrant Stephanotis flowers.  

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Requirements 

The Madagascar Jasmine likes very airy, porous, nutrient-rich soil with a pH of 5.5-6.5. Cacti require fast-draining soil that dries completely between waterings. Your soil mixture must have a sandy texture and a low water-holding capacity, just like desert soil.

As an alternative, you can create your own potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, and good natural potting soil. Ideally, you want to use our specialized potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your vine plant to thrive. 

As for fertilizing, the Madagascar Jasmine benefits from regular feeding during the growing season. You can use a well-balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble NPK fertilizer specifically formulated for flowering plants to encourage prolific bloom. Follow the instructions for the correct dilution and frequency of application. Generally, fertilize once a year in the spring, and reduce or stop fertilizing during the winter months when the Madagascar jasmine plant is in its dormant phase. 

It's important to avoid over-fertilizing the Stephanotis floribunda, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of blooms. Always err on the side of caution and follow the recommended dosage. Additionally, make sure to water the plant thoroughly before applying fertilizer to prevent root burning. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, this Madagascar jasmine prefers a warm environment ideally between 65°F and 75°F. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures but avoid exposing it to temperatures below 55°F as it may cause damage to the plant.

The Stephanotis vines plant appreciates moderate to high humidity levels. You can increase humidity around the plant by misting its leaves with water regularly or placing a tray filled with water and pebbles beneath the pot. This will create a humid microclimate around the plant, mimicking its natural habitat. 

For outdoor cultivation, this Stephanotis floribunda is typically suitable for USDA zones 10-12. It thrives in warm tropical regions where temperatures rarely drop below 30°F. If you live in a colder region, you can still grow it outdoors during the warmer months and bring it indoors or provide protection during winter.  

Final Thoughts 

Overall, the Madagascar Jasmine (Stephanotis floribunda) is a captivating flowering vine native to Madagascar. With its glossy dark green leaves, fragrant star-shaped fragrant flowers, and the ability to climb or trail, it adds a touch of elegance to any garden or floral arrangement. It is commonly used in bridal wreaths due to its beauty and sweet fragrance. When it comes to care, it thrives in bright, indirect light and requires consistently moist, well-draining soil. To grow stephanotis, provide a suitable trellis, wire round, or fencing to support the twining stems or vine's tendrils and prevent tangles. Whether used as a striking ornamental vine, a fragrant addition to floral arrangements, or a symbol of love in bridal bouquets, it is a stunning plant that brings beauty and elegance to any space. Its delicate tubular flowers contrast nicely and make it a Favorite among gardeners and flower enthusiasts alike.

One of the best Star Wars comic series of all time.
Format: Kindle
Crimson Empire was the first Star Wars comic that I read. Stories like these are what kept Star Wars alive and fresh during the nearly 20 years between films. I love the stories about those minor characters that you see in the films. When you saw the Crimson Guard with the Emperor for the first time, you knew there was something fascinating about these guardians of the most powerful being in the universe. This story delves into some of those characters. The art is fantastic, sort of that stylized 90's colorful art. Awesome battle scenes. It really captures the imagination. Great story, give it a try. I highly recommend getting a paper copy of this trade.

Top Notch!
Format: Hardcover
A lot of the time when your reading SW books your imagination doesn't quite fill in the gaps that the author leaves. A lot of SW books have little to no detail because they are movie or game based. This is where the top notch illiustrations took this story line to a whole new level! Richardson does a great job on developping the main character. I was very impressed with the quality of the story and blown away with the illustrations. Great read for all!

Great saga!
Format: Kindle
I love this series! It is beautifully painted, has good dialogue, and has a very compelling narrative. I cannot help but like the protagonist, Kir Kanos. He is brave, unselfish, noble, determined, and deadly. Even if his primary goal is to exact vengeance for the killing of the truly evil Palpatine, I cannot help but cheer for him. This is truly a compelling read that refuses to be put down.

Just an OK read
Format: Kindle
I was not aware when I purchased this that it was a Graphic Novel, I really wish that in the blurb about these products it was made very clear that you are buying a Graphic Novel. I like reading, not viewing the written word. Since I got this via Kindle there was no shipping issues. Maybe the Graphic Novels should have their own category, so that we don't end up with things we don't want.

"Thus die all traitors."
Format: Hardcover
At a grand 504 pages, this big book covers the Crimson Empire series in its entirety. Containing the first, second, and third mini-series as well as Bounty Hunters: Kenix Kil, Dark Horse Extra #21-24 "Hard Currency", and Dark Horse Presents #1 "Third Time Pays for All". While some of these stories truly pale in comparison to the original series, they all still form a big story that is collected in this book. Slightly smaller than a regular TPB, this hardcover edition looks nice with a dustjacket (although mine was very off-center) but utilizes a glued binding on this thick book so you lose a bit to gutter loss. The first story in the book is the classic Crimson Empire series. The six-issue series is collected here in full with a truly timeless story by Randy Stradley and Mike Richardson. Paul Gulacy did the awesome art within the issues. The writing and art work well together with the vibration of the blades to the movie-like, choreographed 12-page fight scene between Kanos and Jax at the end. A truly epic tale with lots of action and mystery that made you feel like you were watching another Star Wars movie but condensed into six issues of a comic book! This alone is worth the purchase price but you get even more stories after this! Bounty Hunters: Kenix Kil follows the Crimson Empire in a tale following Kir Kanos after the end of the Crimson Empire series and was the third issue in the Bounty Hunters series. Kir becomes the bounty hunter Kenix Kil to move through a bounty hunter-filled planet and get what he needs and get out alive! Javier Saltares did the penciling while Randy Stradley reprised his role for the story. The story's short but tells a bit more about Kir and his journey. The drawings, while not as good as the first series, look good enough to get the story across. Crimson Empire II: Council of Blood is next directly following the first series as Kir Kanos, as Kenix Kil, continues his quest to destroy what's left of the traitorous Imperial leaders. However, the return of an old friend side-tracks his quest and brings him to an even bigger journey! The old writing team of Mike Richardson and Randy Stradley return in this story as well as the original artist Paul Gulacy. The art's great and the story, though a bit dense, works well. There isn't quite as much action this time around but the story's just as good. The Zanzibar creatures are one of the creepiest things you'll ever see in a Star Wars comic, too! Next up is the very short four-part comic entitled Hard Currency that appeared in Dark Horse Extra #21-24. The comic is written by Randy Stradley so you know the writing's done well but the art is by Isaas Buckminister Owens and is one God-awful mess. The characters are horribly out of proportion and it looks extremely cartoony. It's very, very short with only a few pages but even if you get past the art, the comic reads like a calendar with the book turned on its side. So, the whole process of reading this out of a 500+ page book is just annoying. I know they probably couldn't print it any other way but it's still inconvenient. However, what you get is a neat story wrapping up the fate of a character that has ran through the first two series and a bit more about Kir's alter ego Kenix Kil. Unlisted, the book appears to start with the third main series but actually contains an 8-page prequel comic that originally appeared in Dark Horse Presents #1 entitled The Third Time Pays for All. The writing has Randy Stradley again and, thankfully, Paul Gulacy on art duty (although his other works here were better). Once again, a short glimpse into the life of (a newly outfitted) Kenix Kil on a bounty-hunting mission while he reminisces about his past run-ins with Mirith Sinn. Mike, Randy and Paul continue their work with the Crimson Empire III: Empire Lost where Kir Kanos rejoins Mirith Sinn one last time to thwart an Imperial thug from destroying the New Republic and the New Empire in one fell swoop! Leia, Luke, Han, and Chewie appear in this tale as well as Boba Fett to round out a classic cast. The art's great, once again, and the writing, while probably my least favorite of the series, is still pretty good with an epic fight between Kir and Devian. At the end of the book, we get the Crimson Empire Handbook entries on some of the characters as well as a few more covers to gawk at. While this hardcover book looks really nice, Dark Horse still fails to make a truly great edition for this series through the book itself. The contents are great but the small size and lack of comic covers are disappointing. Sadly, that's just how Dark Horse releases their hardcovers and TPBs. But, if you're looking to read the Crimson Empire books, this is the one to get!
