Dipladenia are not among the most expensive garden plants. In the price range around 20 euros you already have a pretty good selection of Mandevilla or Sundaville, a hybrid of Mandevilla. However, the quality is more important than the price.

Dipladenia from specialist shops are usually more robust than from the hardware store

Where can I buy a Dipladenia?

Dipladenia can be found in hardware stores or garden shops, but in different qualities. If you want to enjoy your Dipladenia for a long time, then choose a good quality plant from a specialist shop. Although the Mandevilla is not hardy, overwintering is definitely worth a try, especially if you have a particularly beautiful or unusual plant of your own.

What should I look out for when buying a Dipladenia?

A big plus for buying a Dipladenia is the long flowering period. However, in order for them to enjoy this, they should definitely purchase a healthy plant. In a nursery you have a good chance that the Dipladenia has been watered regularly but not too much and has received enough light. A lack of light or incorrect watering can lead to a reluctance to flower.

The potting soil should therefore neither be too wet nor completely dry. Also make sure that your Dipladenia does not have yellow or brown leaves. If you would like to plant your Dipladenia on the balcony, a compact growing variety may be particularly suitable, while a plant with a loosely hanging habit is better suited to a hanging basket.

Can I grow a Dipladenia myself?

You can grow a Dipladenia yourself from cuttings. Cultivation is not easy, but it can be mastered with a greenhouse, for example. Dipladenia can also be propagated by sowing. However, protected Sundaville varieties may not be propagated.

The essentials in brief:

  • available in hardware stores and garden centers, garden centers and specialist shops or on the Internet
  • differences in price and quality
  • only buy healthy plants
  • no discolored leaves
  • Potting soil not too wet, but also not dried out

tips

Only a healthy Dipladenia will give you pleasure for a long time.
