The Mandevilla (rocktrumpet) is a cocktail of elegance, bliss, and longevity.

Mandevilla Trellis Vine
We took time to check out the basics which you want to work with when growing and caring for the Mandevilla trellis vine. Keep reading to find more about the steps you need to take in order to make this trailing vine look exotic throughout the seasons.
Mandevilla Trellis Vine at a Glance
The Mandevilla vine is a prepossessing, tropical plant that blooms generously. The flowering houseplant is a member of the Apocynaceae and is also commonly dubbed the ‘rocktrumpet’ in most nurseries. It grows in quite an exuberant manner under tropical and subtropical climates. It’s easy to care for most Mandevilla plants if you can try to keep up with their tailored growing conditions. While the plant can survive outdoors in the garden, it still looks elegant inside a hanging basket.
If you want the Mandevilla vine to practice its trailing habits, then you need to grow it near a structure that the plant can climb on. The showy blooms will appear during summer and some parts of the spring season. It’s worth noting that the plant generally sprouts without issues by tweaking the humidity, light, and temperature levels to suit its needs. Most newbie growers tend to confuse the Mandeville with its close cousin, the Dipladenia bush. So, be sure to check the label when purchasing to be certain.
Popular Mandevilla Varieties
Mandevilla laxa: The type is commonly dubbed Chilean jasmine in most nurseries and gardening stores. It features some white blooms that are intensely scented and can reach up to 20 feet tall when grown under optimal conditions. Each stem can hold up to 15 flowers during the blooming season. The flowers usually have 5 large lobes and yellow traces in the middle.
Mandevilla boliviensis: What’s eccentric about this type is its woody stems that can elongate up to 10’ inches long. Same as the Chilean jasmine, the white flowers for the boliviensis have a yellow throat, and tend to bloom during summer. It’s also often referred to as the white Mandevilla. On average, it can achieve a height of between 3 and 10 feet tall. If you want the plant to look shorter, you’ll need to prune it back during the spring season.
Variegated Mandevilla: Grow this type if you’re looking to own a houseplant with an exotic color. You’ll find lots of Mandevillas with variegated foliage in nurseries and gardening stores. While the leaves have a tender texture and are held by soft stems, variegated Mandevilla varieties such as the ‘Ice Fury’ or ‘Tropical Dreams’ are unfussy plants and need little maintenance throughout the seasons.
Summervillea Mandevilla: The Summervillea Mandevilla is a hardy variety with lush foliage and red flowers. It grows profusely when treated as a perennial in areas like Miami and Florida. For the most part, it likes to grow under a bright spot, but won’t tolerate frost, so you’ll need to move it indoors during winter.
How to Grow the Mandevilla Trellis Vine
To grow the Mandevilla vine, you need to mimic the tropical conditions to which the plant has been accustomed right from its indigenous place. Keep the medium far from frost conditions and keep try to keep night temperatures above 50 degrees Fahrenheit if your Trellis vine is growing indoors. One way to reproduce this houseplant is through stem cuttings. We’ll look at all other options you can use to propagate the plant later in this guide.
If you’re looking to grow it outdoors, this Mandevilla type will sprout beyond all expectations under USDA hardiness zones 9-11. For growers living on the northern part of the zones (most part of the U.S.), the plant will survive and bloom in the region, but you’ll need to move it indoors during winter. These tips will be handy when growing the Trellis vine:
Pick a spot that gets lots of bright, indirect light. The tropical vine needs some partial shade during afternoon hours.
Protect the foliage from intense heat primarily if you live in a region where summer months are relentlessly hot. But overall, aim for 6 to 8 hours of sunlight every day.
Next, prepare the potting soil by picking out the top layer of normal soil, then mixing it with a portion of organic compost manure. Amend the mixture with perlite or sand to improve drainage.
Dig holes about 5 inches deep, then plant the stem cuttings. You can add manure at the bottom of the hole before planting to increase the nutrient composition during the sprouting phase.
Keep the soil moist to provide optimal growing conditions and give the cuttings the right amount of humidity they need.

Note:
As for the potted plants of ornamental flowers and edible flowers, most of them need the cooperation of temperature, sunlight and fertilizer. Most places in the city are not suitable for planting, unless there are rooftops and village houses with open sun. Not every family is suitable for planting. If you want to increase the survival rate, you can consider violets and orchids as ornamental flowers that are slightly suitable for urban planting.
A perennial evergreen woody vine of the Apocynaceae family, it is a horticultural hybrid. The plant has a beautiful shape, with a twining stem, and the new shoots will curl and vine. If the plant is injured, it will secrete white latex. The leaves are opposite, oblong, pointed at the tip, entire, leathery, and the mesophyll is wrinkled and dark green and shiny. It blooms from spring to autumn, axillary, and the base of the flower is healed into a tube. The corolla is funnel-shaped, with 5 lobes on the upper edge. The flowers are large and colorful, with a diameter of up to 10 cm. The flower colors are red, peach red, pink, etc. There are also double-petal varieties. The flowering period is about April to October, mainly in summer and autumn. The fruit turns brown after ripening and can be up to 20 cm long. The fruit cracks when ripe, and the seeds have white soft hairs, so they are scattered everywhere by the wind. It is not very vine-like, suitable for potted plants, climbing fences or flower racks. It is commonly known as the red wrinkled vine and is known as the "Queen of Tropical Vines". The fragrant vine climbs with soft twining stems, and there are specialized spiny stipules in the axils of the leaves to help fix it.
