Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your red Mandevilla live plants is straightforward, ensuring they thrive and provide a spectacular display of blooms. These tropical beauties prefer a warm environment and plenty of sunlight to produce their abundant flowers. For optimal growth, plant your Mandevilla in a location that receives full sun, meaning at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. In extremely hot climates, some afternoon shade can be beneficial to prevent leaf scorch, but generally, more sun equals more flowers. Consistent watering is key, especially during dry spells and when the plant is actively flowering. The soil should be kept consistently moist but never waterlogged. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. Good drainage is crucial for the health of your tropical flowering vine.

When it comes to soil, Mandevillas prefer a rich, well-draining potting mix. If planting in containers, ensure your pots have drainage holes. For in-ground planting, amend heavy clay soils with compost or other organic matter to improve drainage and fertility. Fertilize your Mandevilla every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring to fall) with a balanced liquid fertilizer or one formulated for flowering plants. Reduce feeding in winter. Pruning is generally minimal; pinch back young stems to encourage bushier growth and remove spent flowers to promote new blooms. While Mandevillas are often grown as annuals in colder climates, they can be overwintered indoors in a bright, cool location, or if you live in a suitable USDA zone, they can be perennial. Protect them from frost, as they are not winter hardy.
