How should I overwinter and cut my Dipladenia?
The otherwise easy-to-maintain Dipladenia is quite demanding in one respect, namely during wintering. If the conditions are not ideal, then the plant may not bloom in the next year.
The right cut at the right time
The Mandevilla, as one may call the Dipladenia, always flourishes on the young shoots. So you can cut back this plant well in the spring. However, the later in the year you cut, the later your Dipladenia will bloom. It is also possible to prune the plant in the fall before the non-hardy Mandevilla is moved to their winter quarters.
Your cutting tool should be clean and sharp, so it is best to prevent injury to the plant and transmission of disease. About two thirds you can cut back an old shoot.
Perfect winter
At temperatures between about 8 ° C and 15 ° C bring your Dipladenia best over the winter. However, the prerequisite is that the plant gets enough light, does not pour too much and is not fertilized at all. So you can effectively prevent Geiltriebe and blooming discomfort next year.
