Plant Care & Growing Tips

Ensuring your Red Mandevilla live plants thrive requires attention to their specific needs, particularly regarding sunlight, soil, and watering. These tropical beauties prefer a location that receives ample sunlight to encourage prolific blooming. Aim for at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and flower production. While they can tolerate some part shade, too little light will result in fewer flowers. When planting, choose a site with well-drained, rich soil amended with organic matter. Good drainage is crucial, as Mandevillas do not tolerate soggy roots. If planting in containers, ensure the pots have adequate drainage holes and use a high-quality potting mix.

Watering should be consistent, keeping the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. During hot summer months or when grown in containers, you may need to water more frequently. Reduce watering slightly during cooler seasons or if the plant enters a dormant phase. These plants thrive in temperatures between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit and appreciate moderate to high humidity. In colder climates (USDA Zones below 9), Mandevillas are often grown as annuals or brought indoors during winter. If overwintering indoors, reduce watering and ensure they still receive bright light. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer to support continuous blooming and healthy foliage. Regular pruning can help maintain shape and encourage bushier growth, making your Mandevilla plant care routine simple and rewarding.
