Mandevilla Pink Plant care and instructions
At least five to six hours of sunlight a day is ideal for flowering and plants grow well in bright direct natural light. The soil should be well-drained and rich in organic content for growing Mandevilla plants. Water the plant when the topsoil (1-2 inches) in the pot feels dry to touch. Do not overwater the plant. Water thoroughly in the summer and reduce watering in the winter and rainy seasons. During the main growing season (August-December) feed the plant with organic fertilizer once a month. Loosen the topsoil without disturbing the roots of the plant so it can uptake nutrients and moisture easily. Remove dead, infected, or damaged plant parts and discard them away from the plants. For any insect attack or disease, you can use Neem oil, Eucalyptus oil, or Citrus oil spray for primary treatment. Do not overwater the plant. Avoid applying water on flowers and leaves because it may cause fungus infection.
