I wonder if Charlie Pridham (or others)
could advise me of the best way to take cuttings of Mandevilla-bottom heat
?

Well I do use bottom heat although there are frequently many different ways
of achieving the end result.
I do nodal cuttings discarding the very soft tips and use hormone powder as
a sealer for the bottoms when first cut to prevent the milky sap leaking out
as it slows rooting.
