Mandevilla
Yourgarden.com's Specialist - Marian

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.
