I’m going to try this. I found a mandevilla color this year I’ve never seen before…peach! Do you prefer rooting gel over powder? I’ve propagated other types of tropicals (red banana, jasmine, passion vine) but I’ve always used a rooting powder. Didn’t know about gel!

[@gardenspluswithwilsey1237]

Either will work - the gel seems to hang on better.

Should I start this at the end of the season when I'm about to Winter over the mother plant. I just use those cuttings from the cutback? I know these might be dumb questions but I know that this plant goes dormant. But I imagine if I'm making little greenhouses under lights for the babies they'll keep growing?

[@gardenspluswithwilsey1237]

This plant does not have to go dormant - but you do need to have either a very bright sunny spot or grow lights to keep it going. You can actually take cuttings at any time from the 'adult' plant.

Just what I need. I was given a plant but it has some type of mite and is suffering, but does have some good looking branches for cuttings. Hopefully the main plant survives treatment, but if I can get a few cuttings to root, I will be good either way. - Cheers

[@gardenspluswithwilsey1237]

Go for it! This works every time. One thought - because the plant has mites I would take a magnifying glass and look very very closely at the cuttings you take to be sure they are free of mites. The magnifying glass should allow you to see them - the eggs are so tiny you may not see them otherwise. Here's a bit more info to help you spot these nasty guys: "Eggs of twospotted spider mites are laid singly on the underside of leaves. They are 0.14 mm long and become white as they age. Just before hatch, the red eyespots of the larvae are visible. Immatures: Twospotted spider mites are translucent during the larval stage, where they have six legs". Good luck and happy gardening!

I did just cut of some growths, but like just now 😅 will this be a 100% flop? Or what time around the year you do this? (I didn’t use root hormons either, because this is the only plant i have😅)

[@gardenspluswithwilsey1237]

If you have grow lights you can do this anytime of the year. Definitely using some sort of rooting compound will give you a better chance of success.

[@glumGlumm]

Is the straw necessary? Have you try it without it?

[@gardenspluswithwilsey1237]

The straw was just to give it support

I'm having an issue with a mandevilla plant. May I email you a photo? If so, to what email? Thanks

You mentioned removing the plastic bag every am and then spritzing the plant. Do I then (after spritzing) put the bag back on til the following morning. In other words, does the bag stay on all day except for when you remove it for spritzing ??? Question 2: Could I use any kind of plastic bags, such as the bags I get when shopping in the produce section? Thanks so much.🪴

[@gardenspluswithwilsey1237]

Thanks for the questions… yes put the bag back over the cutting after spritzing it… the bag creates a pseudo tropical environment for the cutting… mandevilla are a tropical plant so this helps in that way and additionally it helps keep the soil moist because of the condensation that developes inside the bag. Once the cutting has taken root (you will know because it will start growing) give it another month of ‘living’ under the bag and then remove the bag… keep under your grow lights and continue to spritz all the leaves every morning. As for using produce bags… I would say no… they are too flimsy… ziplocks are firm enough to stand up… they won’t collapse on the plant like the produce bags would.

[@onewithgreyhair]

that all makes perfect sense ... thanks soooo much 👍
