Wintering Mandevillas


Question
Good morning Nick. We have three Mandevilla (Sun Parasol Crimson)plants. The questions is; After trimming them back where do we store them ? In a lighted area or a dark area like the basement ? We live in upstate New York.

Thank you for your input. Bill and Maggie

Answer
Bill , if its potted, then just move the pot inside to a sunny window and keep it watered enough to keep it alive through the winter, its a tropical plant, so trying to put it an a dormant state will not work, you have to keep it going, albeit barely, inside. When Spring comes, move it outside gradually (hardening it off) and it will gradually perk up and get back to its Fall exuberance. Nick
