Mandevilla is a beautiful plant which shares it’s hot pink and red flowers with many of us all through the summer months. Some like to keep it running up a trellis or cover and arbor with it. Whatever and however you want to show off your Mandevilla is fine with me. I just love the color!
The problem comes around every year around and my email begins to get filled with the question of what to to with the Mandavilla throughout the winder months.
Sorry to say you cannot turn your Mandevilla into a houseplant, but I’ve shared these overwintering tips for years and find people who continue to enjoy their Mandevilla year after year by following these guidelines. It starts with fertilizer and expectations! I hope they help you…
