Mandevilla (Dipladenia) ‘Opal Vining Merlot’ Live Plant Well-Rooted Healthy Vine

Description: Mandevilla Care Hot colors that wow all summer. Limited vining and bushy habits allow space-efficient plants in both small and large pots with less need for pinching. Continuous flowering, drought tolerance, and class-leading disease resistance ensures enjoyment all year long. We suggest frequent, regular watering of Mandevilla hybrida, attempting to keep its soil moist but not soaked during times of growth— typically throughout late spring, summer, and early fall. During times of slow growth, such as winter (especially in cooler climates), we suggest allowing the top few inches of its soil to dry prior to giving it more water. Following this rule will aid in the prevention of root rot. Mandevilla hybrida loves humidity! Anything above 50% RH will likely keep it happy, but ideal conditions are in the range of 80% RH and above. If you're keeping this plant in an area of lower humidity, we strongly suggest regular misting or utilizing a form of humidity modification such as pebble trays or humidifiers. Your plant will thank you! Full, direct sun is suggested. Giving it such will likely result in a happy plant that produces amazing flowers. Although a daily minimum of 6 hours of direct sun is suggested when growing Mandevilla hybrida, some growers have had growing success in less sunny areas, such as bright, indirect sun, and even partial sun. Mandevilla hybrida does best when kept in temperatures above 65 and below 95 degrees Fahrenheit. It is able to handle temperatures as low as 50 degrees Fahrenheit without showing signs of damage. It's approved for outdoor planting in zones 10a-11b, but it still may be adversely affected by the cold winter temperatures in some of those areas. If planted outdoors in these areas, it may be necessary to trim back your plant in the spring after it receives damage from the potential low winter temperatures. We suggest a well draining soil with a fairly balanced pH. Fertilize your Mandevilla hybrida throughout its growing season, which typically consists of late spring through early fall. We do not suggest any fertilization during periods of stunted growth, such as winter. Mandevilla should only be extensively trimmed over winter or in early spring. Extensive trimming during periods of growth will likely cause a lack or a severe decrease of flowers. It's not recommended to trim more than 1/2 of the plant away during any one season. The maintenance of these plants is like that of many others. Trim dead and yellowing leaves as required. It's also suggested to trim away wilting and dying flowers as soon as spotted, as doing so will maximize the potential of other flowers to thrive. When repotting, do not repot this plant into a pot much larger than the one it's coming out of. We suggest not allowing any more than 2 inches of soil on any side between the root ball and the walls of the new pot.
