Hello, fans of indoor plants!

Wreath of pig ears 6m?
Instead of a long and a bit boring acquaintances write 2 facts with a flower. They, in my humble opinion, is the best talk about the snow-white character of our articles.
Long or a short
At first, stephanotis - typical vine, all the power that goes to the length. In nature, it shoots, covered with large glossy leaves, to grow inordinately tall 6 meters. But at home the ideal tropical conditions create is unlikely to succeed. Therefore, the plant takes pity on the owner and rarely grows longer 1-2.5 meters (Here as lucky).
If you are familiar with Hoya, then you know exactly how to curb tyanuchest vines. They need to support and guide, to direct, to guide. The most common option - raise wreath, although there are interesting variations. Here are selected for you a few photographs in the sample:

The name of the flowers given on the basis of the Indian custom of "What I see - I sing."
And they saw Madagascans? They thought that the shape of petals reminds stephanotis pig's ear. How aptly this definition, everyone can decide for himself:
In general, the Madagascans do not make a fuss much with the elegance of names and called stefonotis very clear: wreath of pig ears.
Stefonotis in Russian apartments
Caring for the indoor grower stephanotis not force to study the magical grimoire. Everything just as with Hoya. Abundant ambient light, watered as the drying of the earth in a pot, winding somewhere lashes. However, unlike its tovarki, wreath of pig ears does not tolerate drafts and change of residence.
