Mandevilla

摘要

The spectacular blooms of Mandevilla come at a price - most will not tolerate cold. Gill Stitt, owner, Shrubland Park Nurseries, Ipswich "We sell two Mandevilla species - Mandevilla laxa and Mandevilla sanderi Mandevilla sanderi needs protection fromfrost and a minimum temperature of 5°C to 10°C Apart from that, it needs normal plant care: let it dry off over winter and feed and water it through the summer Tomato feed works well. " Mandevilla tends to get greenfly and mealybug when grown under glass, so you have to keep an eye out for them. It needs shade from hot sun, especially if grown under glass. A south-facing conservatory will probably be too hot and you might as well stand it outside in summer Mandevilla is ideal for a north-west-facing conservatory. Although it is sub-tropical, we can overwinter it well at 7°Cto 10°C.
