Zone 5


I buy a Mandevilla plant every year and have nice success. This one tells me I can Winter it but no directions. Website on card has moved so I'm asking for your help. Do I place it in my basement, in the dark and water or not?

Any info much appreciated.

Yes, you can bring it inside to bright indirect light and water it when the soil feels dry. Keep it away from a/c and heat vents if you can as they will dry it out more. It is too tender in my area so I just buy a new one every year. Bring it inside once temps go down close to 50F.
