Care: Relatively low maintenance.
Light: Mandevilla plants will put on the best flower show if given full sun. If you are in a climate of extreme heat, they may benefit from some afternoon shade. This plant can tolerate partial shade, however you may not see as many flowers. If wintering indoors, provide bright, indirect light.
Water: Water deeply when the soil starts to dry. Let the soil dry a bit between waterings. Mandevilla prefer to be a bit too dry over too wet. Make sure the soil is not soggy or dripping wet, but moist. Mandevilla like well draining soil.
Temperature: 65 to 85F is their ideal climate. Bring your plant indoors for winter once temperatures drop below 60F. A hard freeze will kill this plant. Mandevilla prefer warm, tropical temperatures.
