Strongylodon macrobotrys 'Jade Vine', native to the Philippines, has got to be one of the most eye-catching and unique tropical plants. These evergreen, vigorous climbers showcase blue/turquoise, claw-shaped flowers that hang in large clusters. The unusual flower colour is very rare in nature, which makes them a highly sought after plant in tropical gardens! As these vines mature, their stems grow thick and can reach up to 20+ metres long. Flowers bloom in spring on new and old growth, however, the Jade Vine must reach maturity before flowering (roughly 2-3 years after planting). Being a subtropical to tropical plant, these guys don't perform well in areas with very cool winters.

CARE:
Requires a tropical or subtropical climate to thrive and a position which receives full sun - part shade. Prefers moist, humus rich, well-draining soils. Fertilise sparingly in spring and summer to encourage healthy growth, withholding in the winter months.

PLEASE NOTE:
All pictures are of plants currently for sale or previously sold at The Tropic Gardener. The plant photographed should be used as an indication of size and quality only and may not be the exact plant you receive. 

These plants are currently not in flower and are not at flowering maturity. With the right care and conditions following planting, they may reach flowering maturity within 2 - 3 years. The photos of flowers are to demonstrate the flowering potential only.

How Our Shipping Works 

We use Australia Post Express Post. Always. 

We ship at 9am on Monday mornings to reduce the chance of plants sitting in Aus Post warehouses over weekends. (Our plants will generally survive up to 2 weeks in boxes, but we like to reduce any risk at all).

Shipping Costs and Sizing

Strap yourself in, this is a little complicated! 

Our shipping rates are based on weight. This is why we’ll never cramp a plant with big leaves into a small box, because it’s weight, not size that Australia Post charges for. 

We have four different box sizes.

  • Small Order =  $15 shipping
  • Medium Order = $20 shipping
  • Large Order = $25 shipping
  • Extra Large = $30 shipping (up to 800g)

An order with multiple plants over the 800g limit will be packaged in multiple boxes, at the following rates: 

Multiple Boxes: 

  • Extra Large and Small  =$35
  • Extra Large and Medium = $40
  • Extra Large and Large = $45

After that, we cap our shipping at $50. So feel free to order as many plants as you like and know that most you’ll pay is $50!

As all of our plants come in varying sizes, we have to make the best shipping decision for the health of the plant, so each order is a little different. It’s a bit of a tricky process. As a result our costs are sometimes fractionally extra than you might see on the Aus Post website, but that’s because we include the cost of the packaging materials and the time it takes to carefully pack your new plant. 

We hope this clears up any mystery about how we price our shipping for our online nursery. We will always do our best to both package your plants safely and with maximum affordability. Please do contact us if you have any further questions!
