My mandevilla is in full bloom! I’ve been bringing it in for the winter for a few years now. I fought aphids all last winter and there’s zero signs of it this summer for the first time ever! I put a lot of lacewing eggs on it and there’s been many praying mantises around. There’s a tiny baby one in this pic! #mandevilla

My Mandevilla overwintering in my living room. It was infested with scale and aphids and I’ve barely got it under control now. Every time it gets a new sprout it has aphids on it despite all the wiping and spraying I do at least once a week. Come on spring! I need to get this outside! #overwinter #mandevilla #aphids #scale

Since we’re finally in the clear of frosts I repotted and brought out my mandevilla from its overwintering spot inside! #nomorefrost #overwinter #mandevilla #climbingplant

I dug up my mandevilla yesterday so I could pot it for the winter. We're expecting frosts this week so I didn't want to risk losing it. It wouldn't make it through the winter. It's sad because it was so pretty growing on the railings! This picture was right before I hacked it. #mandevilla #overwinter

@cyndi do you think my Mandevilla will make it through our winters? Or should I do the same as Ami here?
