This evergreen climber produces beautiful funnel-shaped flowers that can be admired from early summer to fall.The flowers are pink, red and white.
Mandewilla grows quickly and easily reaches a height of 2 to 4 meters.The shoots of the plant should be constantly tied to a support to give the creeper the desired growth direction (so that it does not occupy the space of other plants ).
The sunnier the position, the more abundant flowering.It is recommended, however, to avoid places exposed to direct sunlight in the afternoon hours.The climber also grows in partial shade, but then it blooms slightly less.
The watered substrate should be well moistened, but not wet or flooded. The mandewilla needs to be replenished weekly.Ripening fruits should be removed so that the plants do not lose the energy they can put into flowering.In March, shoots should be shortened.
Peel shoots of young plants several times, older plants can be pruned at any time.In summer, plants can be attacked by spider mites, in winter, aphids can be felt.In the event of a massive outbreak of pests, mandewillas can be trimmed just above the ground in late winter.
