Hi,


I was just given a Mandevilla Scarlet Red plant and was wondering if anyone else has one has any care tips. I have never seen or heard of them before.

I have it indoors as it is too cold up here to have anything outdoors right now.

Thanks,

Chae

I bought a mandevilla last summer and planted it next to one of the posts of my front porch. (full sun) It got frozen to the ground in October or November, but I dug it up and pruned it back to the ground and took it inside for the winter. (by a south window) It soon began growing again. After awhile, it really started to vine, so I made a teepee out of 3 bamboo stakes for it to twine around. I've just started setting it out again (zone 6b) and will probably be planting it soon.
