Do you put your clippings in a vase to enjoy the remaining blooms. Thank you for your info. I will head out today and cut mine down. It is still beautiful in this cooler weather. From Okanagan, BC

Thank you Sandra.....I really love this video. It really helped me understand on how to overwinter my Mandevillas and Dipladenas .

Love this video thanks so much for taking the time to share. I live in upstate ny above the finger lakes. I’ve been overwintering both mandevilla and Dipladenia in my north facing sunroom. It has two skylights and lots of windows. The temps never drop below 45 ish… after watching this I’m going to prune them as you suggested. I was just not sure if They need to be in a darker room? I also have grow lights in the room and wonder if exposure to the lights will confuse their natural dormancy? Do you think covering them with lightweight black sun cover plant blankets would be a good idea? One more question.. my sunroom has a stone floor.. is it best to elevate them above the stone? Thanks again.. superb video:))

Very very helpful!

This is my first year, growing banana trees and it’s sprouted 2 others and it has became one of my favorite plants and I’m looking at getting different varieties, but I cannot stand a fruit tree that does not grow fruit and I hate that this one doesn’t because it looks absolutely beautiful to be a big waste of space 😢might as well be a toro “elephant ear” I live at the Crystal Coast in the southern Outer Banks of North Carolina and I created a tropical rainforest bed this year to support the ecosystem that a tropical banana tree would need. And most people around here just have ornamental trees because they’re too lazy to do the work that it would take to keep a tree alive during the winter so it would actually barefruit unlike myself I want fruit trees to have fruit so I guess I’ll have to find a different variety sadly 😢 Blue Java & Sumatrana X it is I reckon 🫶🏽 ordered them today

Thank you so much! My husband encouraged me to buy 2 of these in June. I wanted some color in front of the house. He passed in August and his profession was in landscape management. 😢 I was just noticing how beautiful they still look and wondering if they could be wintered over as one of those last best memories that will continue on. I’m happy to know it’s possible and am now in tears. Once again, thanks so much!

Thak you , what kind of soil is best for it

For years I’ve trimmed mine about 4 feet from the ground however, that area is getting quite dense with old dead growth so maybe I’ll trim it shorter. Thank you for the video.

Great video and so informative ..... thanks!

Do you continue to water them during dormancy?

Thank you so much for the quick intro and getting right to the point. Im new to flower gardening and i have a lot to learn and less time to watch long drawn out videos. This has been a perfect video and I cant wait to watch more of your content.

Wow. Finally found someone from my neck of the woods!!! Fantastic video and EXACTLY what I was looking for!! ❤ Thank you. You're wonderful

Very informative! I'm in Oakville, Ontario (Cdn Zone 6b I think) and I've been overwintering my mandevilla for 4 years now. This will be year 5. It is a monster, about 6' tall. I give it a good soaking in an insecticidal soap bath and spray before bringing it in. It sits in my kitchen in front of the south facing patio doors and brings some colour in the kitchen. I don't have the heart to chop it until January after it's pretty much finished blooming. I might also chop again in March because it grows quickly and the vines want to reach up to the lights. I do have to keep an eye out for spider mites - thought for sure I might lose it last year but it hung in there after a second major pruning. I also bring in my hisbiscus - that's been hit and miss, and more easily susceptible to pests.

I bought the Rio brand dipladenia from Home Depot 4 years in a row and both years they send up climbers that wrap around the pot hangers. So dipladenia do indeed climb like mandevilla. The only time thy don't climb is when, obviously, there is nothing for them to twist around and climb so the climbers simple flop around.

I agree, the best video on over wintering. I'm going to try it. Thank you

Do you water the Mandeville while it's wintering in the house?

Great video 😊

One of my mandevilla had aphids. I think I took care with soap, but what do I do to make sure that I don’t being bugs into the house?

Do you spray for insects before you bring indoors?

I have a red one and it is still in full bloom and I have it inside, so do I still have to prune it for winter?

Does it need light in cold storage?

Can I overwinter my dopledenis

Do they need light during winter? I want to buy it tomorrow at a discounted price and overwinter in my unheated garage, but there is no light there . Is that fine? Zone 8a

Thank you for this informative video. Bought my 1st one this spring. Love it, now I know how to keep it for next spring. 👌

When l store at the basement ,did l need to water it the whole winter

I have a heated garage, can I use a grow light, if so how long should I set the timer?😊

Can you over wenterize that kind?

I’m so glad you said sorry to the plant, this was breaking my heart 🥹 Mine is just new this year and it’s less then half that size. I hope I reach that growth next year! Thanks for sharing 😊

Thank you so much for this video. I like the way you get straight to the point and move right along. I am definitely going to watch more of your videos. I'm convinced I can learn something. 🙂

My mandevilla is in the ground , will it be okay to pull up and pot for winter???

My friend is throwing out her dipaldenia and mandevilla, I am going to rescue them and try your method. My question is she wants her pots, so I am going to have to repot them. Will they still be okay?

Is it normal for the leaves to turn yellow before dropping off?

What a big and beautiful leaves!

Thank you, excellent & informative video! FYI; use gloves, it is essential to exercise caution when handling Dipladenia plants, as the toxic sap can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions. Additionally, it is recommended to keep Dipladenia out of reach of children and pets to avoid accidental ingestion.

Sorry for the silly question, but do I continue to water it during dormancy, right?

During the dormant period does the plant need light my basement is fairly dark.

Cheers from Winnipeg, Canada! Thank you for sharing your video. Very informative! I had wintered a red Mandevila last year and will definitely bring it inside again after pruning back. I had bought a pot with pink, white and red this year. I love Mandevilas, and they seemed to thrive on my 23rd floor balcony with the sun and wind.

Does it need any light when you overwinter it? Or is it okay with just heat in the dormant period

I have a great place in my garage to overwinter, but I don’t have windows. Would grow lights work? 🤔

You didnt say if it needs light while its dormant

Wonderful very helpful video. Just to check - in the basement over the winter months does the mandevilla need any light at all, or can it be dark? (If necessary, I can keep the clipped plant by a window in the basement.)

If I keep it inside do I water it or just leave it

Once it dipledemia has been cut back do I water it good and then stick it in a closet and forget get it

Do you need to add new dirt to the pot in the spring?

Worried about bringing bugs into the house. I usually have trouble with scale and mealybugs. Thank you for your response.

As a mandevilla grows should you intertwine the new vines down toward the woody beginnings? Ours in on our covered porch and looks like sticks at the soil level up about 8 inches and very green lush at the top toward the ceiling!

Hi should I water my Mandevilla when wintering?

Your video is very informative, I really appreciate it. Thank you!

Very helpful! Thank you so much!

I live in Central Florida. I have 2 Mandeville and 1 Dipaldemia. Do I need to prune? and when to do it. I live them all year round in my lanai. Thank you ! Appreciated your response.
