Default mandeville

Anyone got any suggestions (preferably from experience)

My mother had a huge pink mandeville that she split every year right
down through the roots. I think that's the best way how to take
cuttings but it is a bit vicious! She gave away half of the plant and
SFAIK, they survived. One she gave to me got a bit too big for the
house so I put it outside against a wall. It lived up to winter 2009.


Cheers, I'll give that a go when it goes dormant, then. I've had this one
about a year, took it into the house for winter as was warned it was quite
tender. It's currently climbing all over the place and I was wondering how
I was going to cut it back to bring it in for winter!
