This is year I bought Mandevillas for the first time, as was recommended to me by someone after my hard-luck story of trying to deal with hibiscus! I didn't know anything about them previously but I'm glad I happened upon your channel because sellers are representing mandevilla and dipladenia as the same plant. Thanks for the info, I first saw your video on Philo Deja Vu vs Xanadu, checked out your channel and you are very knowledgeable! New subscriber! I live in BC Interior, so I'm glad to follow someone so close to home :)
Hey Linda! Oh my gosh this comment is 5 months old and I just saw it now, so embarrassing 🤦♂️🤦♂️ really appreciated this comment! Happy to see a fellow BC friend here 🙏😎🇨🇦
Sorry for just seeing your reply. So of course I threw out the labels they came from but I think the one labeled Diplo is doing better for me but I'm not sure which one it is actually. One is just surviving it would seem while the other is flowering nicely and trailing all over the place.
Thank you You were helpful I got them for mothers day loved it so much i didn't want them to die so i took it inside but tendrel going crazy now i learned i cut cut it
Great video!! Lots of excellent information. I'm new to "gardening" anything but I saw this beautiful plant this summer and had to have one. Mine is a hanging basket. It's mid- October now in the PNW (Pacific Northwest). No freezing temps yet....but we'll get some in a bit. I'm ready to cut this plant back (in it's basket) and winterize. I know how to cut....but what is the best way winterize the entire basket? Or is that even a thing? I also want to root some of the cuttings. I know how to do that too (in potting soil)...but is it too late in the season to do that? I was going to remove the buds (flowers from the 6in cuttings, remove about 2in of leaves from the bottom and stick the cutting into potting soil in a small container. Probably 4 to a container. The container goes into a sealed zip loc bag, for several weeks (think greenhouse) with perodic openings for fresh air & a little moisture. I just don't know if the cuttings should be in a light sunny area....or can they do their thing in my basement??? Any advice is appreciated . MANY thanx!!
You really seem to know your stuff! I've grown these for years all the way up here in southern Ohio, USA. It's a little bit of a hassle having to bring them in when it drops below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, butt well worth it!
Thank you for the endepth information on this plant! I planted 3 of these beauties and they have all died. I couldn't really figure out why, but I think maybe its the fact that my neighbor foolishly sprays glyphosate to kill his weeds. I did plant them in the ground near the fence line he sprays, so possibly its the herbicide in the soil? I did water them everyday because its been a very hot summer here in the southern mountains of California. So maybe they got overwatered? But they were drooping so I figured they needed water, I also fertilized them. Just never seen a plant die off so soon after being planted.
Hi Max, I'm a novice gardener with a love of hummingbirds and diverse insects. I purchased two dipladenia plants and want to plant them in our yard. Our growing zone is 7-9 with clay soil. My question: do you recommend digging and filling with sandy soil? Or would you recommend something else. Thank you so much for the video! 😊
Oh it's gorgeous! 10/10 recommend. You can either prune it back to almost soil level and mulch with about 2 inches of fresh mulch, put it in a container and bring the container indoors, or you can take lots of cuttings ;)) yo that's a fantastic idea!!! I've got to get a new sd card for my camera first though, no more video room :/
This has been sooo helpful ! I am new to planting these. I was wondering, I bought 12 of these from Lowe's, costa farms brand, and I planted them in pots (3 per pot) the buds all but fell off, and some leaves did also;some of the buds were big and had turned brown . Some of them were very dry - typical garden center issue - Was wondering if you think these will start blooming soon, or I should just get new plants? Thank you for any help !
Sooo my mandivilla, was blooming gorgeously! Lots of white blooms, then I gave it some 10-10-10 plant food, fed it then about a week later, dropped all its blooms, And started vining clime crazy! I made a trellis for it. Its about 6 feet high with ONE bloom… no yellowing or wilting, looks healthy just less blooms. What’s up with it!?
Heyyo! My bad for being slow with comments, im thinking your plant is too vegetative, too much nitrogen. Maybe try using a fertilizer with a low first number, like a 10-20-20, or holding off on fertilizer altogether for a while. The plant is likely being over-pampered and putting all it's energy into producing vines because it's too comfortable
Heyyo! So I usually get a bag of perlite and mix it with humus rich compost that I make from my old potato plants. I also add about a third of cocoa choir (I buy it in compressed blocks) for one pot I'd say it's a cup perlite, a cup cocoa choir and 2 cups of compost, depending on the size of the pot :)) I hope that helps
Hey welcome:) sorry for the late reply :/ I would pull it out of direct sunlight, snd honestly repotting might help, it could be root-bound. Sometimes a little move is all it takes. Do you prune it?
It's all about temperature and humidity for these guys! Try raising the temperature a few degrees and using a humidifier. Also, any fertilizer rich in Phosphorus will boost flowering, for example 5-10-5, 10-20-10 and 5-15-5 fertilizers. Good luck eh :)))
Hey Deb! Depends on whar you want from the plant and how late it is in the season where you live. If theyre bothering you, trimming them flush with the nesrest leaf won't hurt the plant, snd it might actuslly coax the plant into growing fuller and quickly. It just means that your plant might not trail as much. Current research suggests that trimming them off might actually make them bloom more:))
Assuming you're talking in Fahrenheit haha, that might be a little bit too hot. I'd keep them in a shady spot, I think 100 f is close to 37 C, we had a couple of days last summer hit the mid 40s C, so 113 F. And they did not like it at all, lots of watering and a bit of leaf loss.
Hey:) my approach would be to keep pruning, and to place the parts you cut into another pot and have two plants ;) (but yes, they respond very well to hard pruning, might even slow your plant down a bit!)
Thank you for all the info!! Picked one up today because it was so beautiful but knew nothing about them.
Wow you are very helpful. You have extensive knowledge. I looks like you studied and love caring for plants. Thank you 😊
One of my favorite flowers.

Wow! That’s the best information video I’ve ever seen! Thanks for covering everything !
Thank you, Max, for all this useful information!!
Enjoyed your video. Have been getting Mandevilla for the last few year’s!! Great info. Thank you
Hey thanks Kathy! I really appreciate it :)
Thank you!! I needed this. I live these guys I want to try to over winter them. I have both Mandevilla and Diplo
Hey no problemo:)) do you have a preference for either? Personally, I prefer the Dipladenia because it's a little bit more robust
Sorry for just seeing your reply. So of course I threw out the labels they came from but I think the one labeled Diplo is doing better for me but I'm not sure which one it is actually. One is just surviving it would seem while the other is flowering nicely and trailing all over the place.
@@kendracrippen I have overwintered diplo in cold Colorado winters
Thank you

Great video, thanks. Greetings from Greenville, NC.
Thank you! North Carolina is a truly awesome state 😎
Haven’t heard of this one! Sorry if I missed it but I assume you bring it in in the winter? Can you do a propagation tour??

I had the same problem, same place of purchase (sale rack for me, 1/2 price). I dried it out as instructed. They never came back.

What potting mix do you use for Dipladenias? Do you make your own? If so could I please have the recipe?

Wow I think we don’t have that here so beautiful hanging plant 🪴
I really wish shipping wasn't so expensive man! If I could afford it I'd totally get you one
My local supermarket has it for $16.99. I intend to buy two and see how they fare, since it’ll be the first time I will be buying them.
@@shirleylam8950 that's wonderful Shirley! I hope they grow nicely for you:)
So they do better in pots? I just bought 2 trying to figure out how to pact them
In my opinion, yes they do, especially deeper pots, hope you enjoy em, theyre quite rewarding to grow!
Dipladenia look cool!
I agree Daniel! Very cool
Do we trim the long tendrils?
My husband brought me one yesterday, are they ok in the ground?
New subscriber from Georgia💚🌞🌼
Aww sounds like a good husband! Yeah they do well in-ground too, just gotta plant a little deeper and have them in a more protected area
How tall
Hello from greece.i have a very healthy dipladenia for 4 yaers but there is not any flower on it. What to do? May i feltirize with so hot weather????
Hey welcome:) sorry for the late reply :/ I would pull it out of direct sunlight, snd honestly repotting might help, it could be root-bound. Sometimes a little move is all it takes. Do you prune it?
@@maxzytaruk8558 what is the best season To prune it?
I have had the plants for over 15 years.. I take them n in the winter. I live in zone 5A
What can I I do to have them bloom earlier than August..?
It's all about temperature and humidity for these guys! Try raising the temperature a few degrees and using a humidifier. Also, any fertilizer rich in Phosphorus will boost flowering, for example 5-10-5, 10-20-10 and 5-15-5 fertilizers. Good luck eh :)))
@@maxzytaruk8558 Thank you for the advice. I will definitely try the phosphorus fertilizer.
Appreciate u taking the time.
Nice video bro 👍
Ayyyyo thank you, I appreciate it!😎
@@maxzytaruk8558 cool brother. Keep it up 😊😊
7:45 love this brodie 🍇🍇🍇
Hey thanks buddy! Hope you're doing well man💪🤴🏻
I love those
Can you show how to grow this plant.can grow this plant by bulb?
What about the long tendrils, cut down?
I have lots of LONG TENDRILS. Trim down?
Hey Deb! Depends on whar you want from the plant and how late it is in the season where you live.

Will these tolerate 100 degree weather?
Assuming you're talking in Fahrenheit haha, that might be a little bit too hot. I'd keep them in a shady spot, I think 100 f is close to 37 C, we had a couple of days last summer hit the mid 40s C, so 113 F. And they did not like it at all, lots of watering and a bit of leaf loss.
what to do with vines mine shoots them a LOT and fast, even indoors, keep pruning?
Hey:) my approach would be to keep pruning, and to place the parts you cut into another pot and have two plants ;) (but yes, they respond very well to hard pruning, might even slow your plant down a bit!)
@@maxzytaruk8558 thanks for reply, my plants still indoor due to weather, but shoots like crazy, around foot in 2 weeks.
Dipladeniya can grow by bulb? Australia
Are they ok in the morning sun?
Hey Maya! Yes, as long as you get at least a good 5 hours of it :)🌄
My plant has very dark red flowers 🌹
Oh that's wonderful! I love dark red, such an elegant colour 🤩
