Mandevilla Support and Winter Care

A Sun Parasol Crimson Mandevilla in a 1-gallon pot needs support. A wire obelisk or bamboo teepee both work—choose based on aesthetics. For winter, it must come indoors in cold climates.

Overwintering Protocol

Cut back in fall. Store in a cool (45°F), bright location (unheated garage or basement under lights) with minimal water. It may drop leaves. In spring, move outside after nights exceed 50°F. Fertilize regularly during active growth for heavy blooming.

Mandevillas dislike warm indoor winters—they need a cool rest period.
