I would appreciate advice on how to grow Mandevilla as a pot plant in a Conservatory, especially on how often it should be watered. Tom Atkinson Watering is the tricky part, as it is with so many pot grown exotics. Don't saturate it but don't let it dry out entirely, is my husband's advice. He says "look at it every day" and keep it frost free. He also says that if you CAN put it into a bed in your conservatory, it will be better for both of you! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |

They are worth the effort :~) They are indeed. My fil had one growing outside on a granite wall in a walled part of his Jersey garden and I never ceased to marvel at it. It was huge and dripped with flowers in summer. But one unusually hard frost later.... ;-( He never tried it again outside - I think he just couldn't bear to risk losing another. -- Sacha (remove the weeds to email me) |
