Asked by: Angela Davis
Water the plant frequently in the summer but let the top few inches of the soil dry out before watering anew. The plant can go in the ground in warmer areas or stay in a pot. Bright but indirect sun is a requirement for growing a dipladenia plant. The best flowers are formed in a well lit area.
Is dipladenia an annual or a perennial?
evergreen perennial vine
In warm-winter areas that don’t experience frost (or do so only rarely), dipladenia is an evergreen perennial vine that flowers on and off throughout the year.
How do I prune my dipladenia?
So we leave the main vines on the trellis. And just cut these little side shoots back so you leave little Spurs. And those will branch over the course of the winter.
How do you winterize a dipladenia?
Here are the steps to overwinter your Dipladenia:
- Bring the plant in from outside.
- Transplant the plant into a pot.
- Prune the Dipladenia.
- Take care of any pest issues.
- Scale back watering sessions.
- Add fertilizer, only if needed.
- Ensure that the location is ideal.
How do I train my dipladenia to climb?
Cut it back to within one to two feet of the soil surface to encourage branching. Make any cut just above the bud. Leave for stem junction. Pinch back the tips of young vigorous shoots.
How do you deadhead a dipladenia?
Itself. So when the blooms are over what we do as gardeners are people who tend plants. We cut off those blooms. So that they do not then go and produce. Any fruits and seeds.
