Plant Description:

Common Name-  White Mandevillia/ Rock trumpet

Scientific Name- Mandevillia boliviensis

Family- Apocynaceae

Origin- Central and South America

Mandevilla is a genus of tropical flowering vines known for their showy, trumpet-shaped flowers and glossy foliage. These climbing plants are popular as outdoor ornamentals, adding a splash of vibrant color to gardens and trellises. With proper care, Mandevilla plants can thrive in warm climates, providing an abundance of stunning blooms throughout the growing season.

Growing Conditions-

1.Soil- The plant prefers well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. A mixture of loam, peat moss, and compost works well. The soil pH should be slightly acidic to neutral.

2.Watering- Mandevilla plants like consistently moist soil. Water them deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. During cooler months, reduce watering frequency.

3.Temperature- Mandevilla thrives in warm and tropical climates. It is typically grown as an annual in cooler regions or as a perennial in frost-free areas. Ideally, temperatures should range between 15°C- 32°C.

4.Humidity- Mandevilla plants prefer moderate to high humidity levels, ideally around 50% to 60%.

5. Light Requirements- These plants require plenty of sunlight to grow and bloom. They prefer full sun or partial shade with at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day.

6.Fertilization- Regular fertilization helps promote healthy growth and abundant flowering. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer with a ratio of 20-20-20 or similar. Apply the fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season.

7. Flowering- Mandevilla plants typically produce trumpet shaped flowers during the warm months, such as spring and summer. During the flowering season, avoid high-nitrogenous fertilizers and instead use a balanced fertilizer with a higher phosphorus and potassium content to promote healthy flower production.

8.Important Diseases- Common diseases of Mandevilla include powdery mildew (treat with copper based fungicides and improve airflow) and root rot (prevent by ensuring well-drained soil and proper watering practices).

9.Important Pests- Common pests of Mandevilla include aphids, mealybugs, spider mites, and whiteflies. Control them with insecticidal soap, neem oil, or natural predators like ladybugs and lacewings.

10. Pruning- Pruning is essential for maintaining a compact and bushy Mandevilla plant. It is usually done in early spring before new growth starts. Trim back any dead or damaged stems and remove excessive growth to maintain the desired shape.

11. Propagation- These plants can be propagated through stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer, by  using a rooting hormone and placing them in a well-drained potting mix.

12.Important facts- Mandevilla is a vine that benefits from support structures like trellises, fences, or stakes. Provide a sturdy support for the plant to climb and attach itself.
