      I was able to bring in my Mandevilla vine yesterday. I put it in my basement. I am wondering if I need to keep a light on otherwise it would be quite dark. Most of the time I have LED lighting in that room. What would your opinion be?

      @@user-ly2tj7mh7y last year I put mine in mine in the basement, but I’m in a bi-level so it still received some light and I did water occasionally. When I put it out this spring it took much longer to put on growth and bloom. But it came back just as full and beautiful! The year before I put it in a room upstairs where it’s a little warmer and has daylight. It still shed its leaves but the growth and blooms were much earlier. I am in Northwest Indiana and we can have very cold winters. Also, I did not trim mine down to the level she did in the video. I just couldn’t do it 😂 so then I was sweeping up leaves all the time. I am opting for earlier growth and blooms for next year so I will be putting it in my foyer.

    I'm in Georgia (southern US) and I bring in my Dipladenia in October/November. I only prune lightly. I put in a sunny window where I get great light, leaves dont fall off, and it blooms and puts out bew growth in February, I put it out in April/May, and keeps going well into Fall the next year. It's been a great plant for me here, esp with its slight draught tolerance.

    • @SB-ul1py
      @SB-ul1py Před 14 dny

      I live in Georgia too! I followed her directions to the letter and the results were so satisfying. I think because it’s such a resilient plant, the mandevilla will come back whether persnickety care details are followed or not. critical. I loved the idea of not killing such a lovely plant, giving it another chance at life. But I also really loved not having to spend 40-80 dollars for replacements come spring.

My plant begins to grow extremely long climbing vines during this period and wow do they grow fast. Over night they can grow several inches... it's absolutely bonkers. Eventually these vines will develop several seed pod(s). I'm not sure if I should leave these long climbing vines as is or simply cut them back after they develop.... any suggestions? Cheers ! BTW - Your plants are gorgeous !

We brought them inside during the winter but didn't do any trimming. The leaves fell off and we were left with naked vines. We recently placed them back outside again as the temperature begins to warm up. Leaves are slowly beginning to sprout.

However, I have already greatly over-watered mine 3Xs since I brought her inside in Nov. (thinking she was losing leaves due to dehydration).'Wondering now, w/out disturbing her further by digging her out of the pot, is there a way to tell if I've caused her roots to rot/killed her? Also, it looks like it doesn't matter where on the stems one makes the pruning cuts, is that right? Finally, I have to keep plants out of reach of my cat in my small apartment➡'wondering if, even though it's not cool in apt in winter, do you think I could keep her in a wardrobe closet till end of March, or should she be in sunlight?

    Hi! Awesome video! I wish I saw it sooner. I left my mandevilla outside because it’s so large and now I’m afraid the frost killed it. I’m in North Carolina. Do you think it still has a chance of survival if I cut it back and bring it in the house now?

    Hi. Thank you for this. Once cut back can i put them in an unheated conservatory with lots of light. Will they survive not being in the dark? This is the only place I can store them.

    • @HuronRidgeAcres
      @HuronRidgeAcres  Před rokem

      Yes I believe they should be fine -- the cool temperature will keep them dormant -just make sure you don't let them freeze!

      You can leave it in your house -- it will still go dormant. Plants are smart and know the seasons :) -- don't be surprised if it looses quite a few leaves and starts to look sad -- it will perk back up in the spring. Just water it as needed during the winter.

    Hi Sandra - I have followed your advice and am overwintering my two Mandevillas in pots in a cold room - temp is maintained at 14 degrees Celsius. I have a soil guage and I check the soil every 7-9 days and wait until it reads dry before adding water. The room is pitch black - and I have several creepy-looking white shoots that have grown - several are over 20 cm in length. Should I cut them back to keep this growing energy within the base or just let them grow? and cut them back in the spring when I put them in a well-lit room in the house. - Again, Sandra - thanks for your great video.....

    • @HuronRidgeAcres
      @HuronRidgeAcres  Před rokem +1

      Thanks for watching! Yes mine continue to send out white shoots as well. I trim them back every so often. I barely water mine all winter. I think I've given them a drink once so far in the last 3 months. The more you water them the more they will try to grow so I would cut back on that a bit.

      @@HuronRidgeAcres thanks for your reply- I’m relieved you get these white shoots as well…I will follow your advice and cut back on the watering….hopefully the two plants I am overwintering will spring to life in April/May with some light and some fertilizer. Very kind of you to get back to me so soon…,🇨🇦

    • @HuronRidgeAcres
      @HuronRidgeAcres  Před rokem +1

      If they are looking nice and green I would give them a little trim to promote new growth, but I wouldn't cut them back this severely. Usually if you don't cut them back they just make a huge mess in your house. Lucky you that they stayed green!

    So I have done all of that back in oct and had it in my basement cut back but it is starting to grow. It's in complete dark and gets no light but it's still growing quite a bit. Should I just let it go? Should I bring it up in front of a window or should I cut it back again?

    • @HuronRidgeAcres
      @HuronRidgeAcres  Před rokem

      It's up to you if you want the maintenance of it in your house in the meantime -- I usually just keep mine in the basement until closer to spring so I don't have to bother with it. If it has grown much in that time then I cut it back when I bring it back into the bright warm space.

    So trimmed all the way down last October, lost all ts leaves, stored in the dark in a large pot in the basement away from any heat...... So here it is at the end of january, should they be lightly watered when they are in this state? or just them as is?

    • @HuronRidgeAcres

      You can give them a little drink - just not too much - you don’t want root rot to set in.

      It doesn’t need any. Its going dormant and ideally being stored in a cool dark basement

      @HuronRidgeAcres  Před rokem

      You can if you wish to -- it won't hurt the plant either way. Usually in the winter months they go quite dormant and drop most of their leaves. Cutting them back before they do that just avoids a big mess.

      I'd give it a try. It should work. Just make sure you dig up a big root ball and hopefully it will winter over ok.

      I planted mine in ground also and then we had an unexpected freeze which froze the plant. 2 days later it's back to normal 45 degrees at night and mid 60's in the day. Is it worth a try to dig it up and store in my garage? Or has 2 nights of hard freeze probably taken it?

    Hi, I have 3 large dipladenia pots each with 3 large dipladenia plants and a dark burgundy spike plant (I don't know what they are called) in the center. Should I remove/replant the spike plants before cutting down the dipledenia? They are already about 2.5 feet tall. Am I correct in assuming that the spike plant will not go dormant and will grow much larger if taken indoors to overwinter? Would you just cut down the dipladenia and leave the spike plants in the center? But in so doing, wouldn't the spike need sun and water over winter? These pots are so beautiful now, I hate to get rid of them, but don't have much indoor space. Thank you for your advice.

    • @HuronRidgeAcres
      @HuronRidgeAcres  Před rokem

      I'm not sure how much luck you will have in removing the spike and saving it -- you maybe able to get it out of the pot, but my guess is the roots will be significantly damaged as they will have grown into the dipladenia. You can try to just trim back the dipladenia and see what happens to the spike -- it will definitely go somewhat dormant in a cool dark space - or you can just decide to sacrifice the spike now and remove it.
