FERTILIZATION
These vines are heavy feeders and respond best to almost constant feeding
with 1/2 strength water soluble fertilizer, e.g., Peter's 20-20-20, Excel
21-5-20, Miracle Grow or Rapid Grow. With high light and constant feeding,
the plants will bloom at least 11 months of the year. Straight hibiscus food
has also been a very successful fertilizer. (Rhododendron acid loving plants
fertilizer).
WATERING
These plants flower best under stress. Keep the plant slightly on the dry
side, and allow the plant to become root bound.

We brought in the bouganvilla and mandavilla (mispelled?) - The
bouganvilla has begun new leaves, and the mandavilla is starting new
growth. Should they be fertilized before going outside. When outside?

Thanks.
