The very attractive and floriferous Dipladenia is sure to be an eye-catcher in any garden. It is suitable for planting on the balcony or terrace as well as as a houseplant. Dipladenia, which is not hardy, comes into its own in a plant pyramid.

Dipladenia can be planted in many different ways

What is a plant pyramid anyway?

In short, a plant pyramid is a raised bed with planting levels of different heights. It is available in different shapes, for example as a hexagon, rectangle or square. It is also made from different materials. There are pyramids made of wood, plastic or metal, for example with three or five levels.

Where can I get a plant pyramid?

A wide variety of plant pyramids are commercially available. Check out hardware stores or the internet. You and your wallet decide which pyramid is best for you and your garden. With a little skill you can build your plant pyramid yourself, there are numerous instructions for this on the Internet.

Where do I place my plant pyramid?

When building the plant pyramid, make sure that the location is really suitable for your Dipladenia. This plant likes to be as bright and warm as possible. If it gets too little light or if the temperature is constantly below around 20°C, then your Dipladenia will flower little or not at all.

Place your plant pyramid in such a way that it comes into its own. For example, a lawn or an open space is suitable. Here the Dipladenia also gets enough light for lush flowering. The larger the pyramid, the fewer tall plants should be in the immediate vicinity. A small plant pyramid also works well on the terrace or on the edge of it.

Which plants do I combine with the Dipladenia?

On the one hand, you can combine several varieties and/or colors of Mandevilla and Sundaville, a hybrid of Dipladenia. But other plants also go well with it. Above all, these plants should have similar requirements in terms of location and care as the Dipladenia, for example in terms of the amount and frequency of fertilizer.

For example, the Dipladenia gets along well with green plants such as sedges and purslane. But also the Sweet William, geraniums, ornamental sage or verbena can be combined well with the Dipladenia. In the middle, i.e. on the highest level, you can place a fountain or a high-growing Dipladenia with a trellis.

  • Plant pyramids are available in different shapes and sizes
