Editing Strongylodon macrobotrys (section)

== Cultivation ==
''Strongylodon macrobotrys'' is not [[Hardiness (plants)|frost-tolerant]]; it needs a minimum temperature of 15&nbsp;°C (59&nbsp;°F).<ref name="RHS A–Z"/> It is prized in tropical and subtropical gardens for its showy flowers which are a highly unusual colour, unlike that of almost any other plant. It is usually grown over a [[pergola]] or other tall support to display the spectacular cascading flower trusses which are produced generously once the vine is mature (after 2 years or more, depending on [[pruning]] regime). Curiously, on a large plant, the pale-coloured blooms can be difficult to see in strong sunlight and could be overlooked if not for the fallen blooms below the vine. Fallen blooms change color as they dry out, from mint green to blue-green to purple. The seed pods are not formed in cultivation, but by mimicking the actions of the natural pollinators, Kew Gardens has been successful in pollinating the flowers and producing seeds. Propagation is also possible from nodal cuttings.<ref name=PotW/>

In colder latitudes the plant must be grown in a large glasshouse or conservatory, such as the famous examples grown at [[Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew|Kew Gardens]], [[Cambridge University Botanic Garden]],<ref>[http://www.botanic.cam.ac.uk/Botanic/TrailPlace.aspx?p=27&ix=88&pid=0&prcid=0&ppid=0 Cambridge University Botanic Garden website]</ref> [[Eden Project]]<ref name=Eden>{{cite web |url=http://www.edenproject.com/media/jade-vine-flowers-pr.php |title=Rare jade vine brings spring colour to Eden's rainforest |work=Eden Project website |access-date=2011-02-03 |archive-date=2011-07-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719132900/http://www.edenproject.com/media/jade-vine-flowers-pr.php |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/environment/blog/2009/mar/26/jade-vine-eden-project-bats-pollination |title=Picture of the Day: rare jade vine at the Eden Project |website=The Guardian |date= 26 March 2009}}</ref> and [[The Living Rainforest]]<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://livingrainforest.org/what-to-see/philippines-jade-vine |title=Philippines jade vine |publisher=The Living Rainforest}}</ref> in the UK.<ref name="Kew"/> In cultivation the plant flowers in early spring.<ref name=Eden/> In the USA a jade vine can be found at the [[Naples Botanical Garden]], [[Longwood Gardens]], [[Franklin Park Conservatory]], The [[New York Botanical Garden]], Chicago Botanical Garden, San Diego Botanic Garden, [[Wave Hill]], [[Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden]], [https://biology.uni.edu/botanical-center University of Northern Iowa Botanical Center], [[White River Gardens]], and [https://nicholasconservatory.com/ Nicholas Conservatory & Gardens].

In Belgium, there are several specimens in the botanical gardens of Ghent.
