WANTED : Jade vine creeper, also known as Emerald creeper (Strongylodon macrobotrys).
I live near Hoedspruit in Limpopo Province, but regularly visit Durban. There was a magnificent jade vine creeper in our garden when we bought the house, but our builder destroyed the plant before we moved in, during building renovations! It is possible to propagate from semi-ripe stem cuttings and I am happy to try this method. Can anyone help?

I really do love this plant …
I’m also looking for a jade vine and have someone visiting Durban this week. If you find a grower please could you let me know. I had the name of a grower in Durban but lost it when my hard drive crashed. I will never have this opportunity again so hope you’ve found a grower. There’s also the red jade Mucuna bennettii which is equally spectacular.
Hi there, I am 150km south of Durban and have a huge Jade vine in full bloom at the moment. I have tried to propagate from cuttings with no success although I have heard that this is not difficult if you know the trick. Tell me how to do it and I will help you with a plant ;=)
It will germinate from seed in 10 days – easy
If I had seeds I would not think about rooting cuttings ! My plant and the ones I know do not produce fruits and I have read several times that S.macrobotrys is not self fertile/compatible….
I have germinated other Strongylodon species without problem, you are right Michael, it is easy and fast.
Desperately looking for a Jade vine. I saw one while on holiday in Ramsgate but nop nueseries have any. I will pay for delivery I believe the seeds are easier to gro than cuttings. I live in Pietermaritzburg and can be contacted on 083-7723210
I saw the same jade vine (turquoise) in Ramsgate, but nothing in stock at the nurseries. I am also prepared to pay for delivery of seed. I can be contacted at christellhavenga@yahoo.com.

Hi
I am also looking for this plant please. We had a block’s gardens landscaped this week and the landscaper ripped out the jade vine we had and carted it off. The old ladies in our block are distraught. I am equally concerned and would like to see it replaced. How can we find this?
