Germination

Plant the stephanotis seeds in a small flower pot by pressing them just under the surface of the potting soil. Place a very thin layer of horticulture sand on top. The sand will keep the seeds buried when watering. Place the flower pot in a sunny area in your home. Water them enough to keep the soil damp at all times while the seed is germinating. It will take between 2 weeks to 2 month before you will see a seedling. Do not let the temperature get below 55 degrees F, and make sure it has at least 6 hours of sun. Transplant the seedlings into larger pots of their own. They can then be moved outside, as long as the climate is warm.
