The soil of
the Mandevilla must be well drained and rich. Fertilizer: recommend
a constant liquid or regular feed combined with slow release granular
incorporated soil. A balanced fertilizer switching to higher phosphorus
during warmer months. Or in spring and summer, feed every two weeks
a fertilizer high in phosphorus such as 10-20-10.
For people
in colder areas: Take the Mandevilla indoors in the winter. Fertilize
the plant regular during the growing season, but stop fertilizing
during the winter and keep the plant soil dryer. Keep the Mandevilla
as warm as possible. Once growth resumes in springtime, resume normal
watering and fertilizing to encourage flowering.
For the best
growth and flowering, plant the Mandevilla in a full sun location.
