Scientific name: Mandevilla sanderi (or hybrid Mandevilla) Family: Apocynaceae Flower Color: Dark Red, Pink, White etc Nature: Evergreen creeping ornamental plant Flowering time: From spring to autumn, flowers bloom almost year-round in favorable weather. Care: Grows best in full sun or light shade, well-drained soil and regular irrigation. Uses: Very popular for decorating gardens, balconies, trellises, gates and tubs.

**Watering:** Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry before watering thoroughly. **Lighting:** Prefers full sun to partial shade, ensuring bright light for optimal blooming. **Pruning:** Pinch back spent blooms (deadheading) regularly to encourage continuous flowering and maintain a bushy shape.

### Potting & Planting Instructions for Red Mandevilla 1. **Container Selection**: Choose a terracotta, ceramic, or nursery pot with generous drainage holes at the base. 2. **Soil Mix Recipe**: Use Well-draining garden soil enriched with 30% organic vermicompost. Adding a layer of coarse gravel or leca at the bottom enhances oxygenation. 3. **Planting Depth**: Position the plant at the exact same root collar depth as in its nursery container. Avoid burying stems too deep. 4. **Initial Settling**: After potting, water thoroughly until water drains freely, then place in bright indirect light for 3–5 days to acclimatize before moving to full sun.

Harvest mature stems/leaves as needed using clean sterilized pruning shears.

Pairs wonderfully with drought-tolerant companion plants and complementary flowering plants varieties.
