Plant description
WARNING: the cultivation of Jade vine is very delicate. We send healthy, strong and growing seedlings, but cannot, in any way guarantee that they will take well, and cannot be held responsible if they fail to do so. We can't grow them in large quantities: we'll be offering them regularly, but in very small quantities, so please be patient..
Is it still necessary to introduce the famous Jade vine? Arguably the most beautiful flower in the world, and one of the rarest and most sought-after plants...
In fact, this tropical climber offers spectacular flowering, with droping flowering stems that can reach heights of over three meters, and a color unique in the plant kingdom: a jade-turquoise blue-green with violet calyxes, absolutely irresistible! Its claw-shaped flowers face upwards and are particularly nectar-bearing, attracting bees, moths and bats to pollinate them. This produces a large fruit containing the seeds, which germinate in just a few days. The leaves of the Strongylodon macrobotrys are brown-green when young, before turning a beautiful dark green..
The Jade vine grows in the tropical rainforests of the Philippines, clinging to trees along watercourses. Unfortunately, it is endangered as the forest continues to shrink...…
This Strongylodon macrobotrys likes part shade, but also needs periods of good sunshine during the day. It doesn't tolerate the cold, so it needs to be grown in a heated greenhouse or veranda, providing it with supports on which to curl up, and leaving it enough height to hang its flower clusters, which can appear as early as the third year. It will alternate periods of strong growth, when it will need plenty of water in a well-drained substrate, with periods of dormancy, when watering should be greatly reduced..
Although very delicate to grow in our latitudes, it's well worth a try: in our eyes, Jade vine is the most beautiful plant in the world...…

Growing tips
Repotting
When you receive your plant, repot it in a pot slightly larger than the bucket, which must be well pierced. Avoid pot covers which prevent residual water from draining away and encourage fungal diseases. Choose a fine potting soil, ideally with added perlite or sand to lighten the substrate (do not use garden soil or acidic soil such as heather). Then plan two repottings per year (spring and autumn), gradually increasing the size of the pot and adapting it to the size of the root network (the roots must have room, but not too much as the plant must be able to dry out its substrate between waterings). This avoids having to add fertilizer, which always risks burning the fragile roots of the plants and making the plant wither as soon as the fertilizer is stopped.
Watering
ious watering during the growth phase (the entire rootball should be wet, then wait for the substrate to dry on the surface before the next watering), and much more moderate watering during dormancy (wait for the rootball to dry deeply before the next watering).
For an indoor planting
Jade Liana needs to be grown in a warm, bright spot, in a greenhouse or heated conservatory. It needs both semi-shade and periods of direct sunlight during the day.
For an outdoor planting
This plant is not frost and/or cold resistant and should not be planted outside except in limited parts of Southern Europe.
Pruning
It can be pruned, but generally speaking, as it's a very delicate plant, let it go where it wants without upsetting it!
In case of pest attack
If your plants are under attack by aphids or other pests, the best way to control them is by hand. Change their soil, remove as many undesirables as possible by hand and then shower your plants with a strong stream of water to eliminate any eggs that may be present. Spray them (insist on the underside of the leaves) with liquid black soap diluted in water. Repeat the operation several times at a few days interval. Take them outside in good weather, rain, sun and wind will kill most of the aggressors!
Rayon de Serre's word
It alternates between periods of strong growth and dormancy, so adapt your watering to its needs.
