Tropical mandevilla (syn. Dipladenia) are climbing perennials native to the woodlands of Central and South America. Perfect for growing as a conservatory houseplant in more temperate climates, they can bring a dash of the exotic to traditional displays.
Mandevilla ‘Hybrid Pink’ is a compact plant with large, trumpet-shaped, pink flowers with a yellow throat. Given the right hot and humid conditions, it can bloom from April to November, and will eventually grow into a large, shrubby climber.
For best results grow Mandevilla ‘Hybrid Pink’ in a pot of 50: 50 ericaceous compost and John Innes No.2, in a warm but partially shaded conservatory. Water moderately during the growing season, mist daily and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser once a month. Flowering on the current year’s growth, spur-prune in late winter or early spring.
Mandevilla ‘Hybrid Pink’ is susceptible to greenhouse and conservatory pests such as mealybug, aphids, whitefly and scale, but these can be washed off with warm, soapy water. Avoid contact with the white sap that bleeds out of the cut stems, which can cause irritation to the skin and a stomach ache if ingested.
