Plant description: Mandevilla spp.

Brazilian jasmine is a flowering vine that can be grown outdoors year-round in tropical climates, indoors as a perennial houseplant. Brazilian jasmine plants are prized for their trumpet-shaped blooms, which may be white, pink, or red, depending on the cultivar.

Soil requirement of Mandevilla

• The best Brazilian jasmine soil will be both well-draining and full of organic matter to feed the plant and retain moisture.
• Ideal soil mixture should be equal parts of potting soil, peat moss, and coarse sand.

Sunlight 

For good Mandevilla sanderi care, keep your tropical beauty in bright but indirect light, with lots of water, warmth, and humidity.

Watering in Mandevilla

• In general, water Mandevilla sanderi once every day or so in the spring and summer, and cut back to once a week in winter, when its watering needs decrease.
• keep the soil consistently moist without being sopping wet during the growing season.

Pruning

Brazilian jasmine pruning should be done in early spring before it starts growing.

Since the flowers appear on new growth, leaving it too late in the season may cut down on the number of blooms.

Shape the plant as desired. If you want a bushier plant rather than long vines, simply cut the stems right above a pair of leaves.

You should also trim off any dead or damaged stems.

As well, cut off flowers once they have wilted to encourage new blooms.

Don’ts

• Do not over water the plant especially when pot does not have drainage holes.
• keep away from the AC Vents.
• Do not apply water on plant leaves.

Initial care for 1-2 weeks after receiving plant at your location.

• Check the moisture in the soil before watering it.
• Poke your finger into the soil, if dry then apply water.
• Keep the plant in indirect light.
• Do not re-pot immediately after receiving it.
