Dipladenia is a flowering plant that is suitable for hanging pots and makes the garden even more attractive not only due to its appearance but also due to its ability to attract butterflies. In this article, we will tell you what you need to know when growing dipladenia.
Growing in a pot
As ADVICE.NEWS reports, the plant is easy to care for.
The best way to grow a flower is to place it in a container. After you grow a flower in a pot, you should start training it to a trellis.
Thus, you will significantly decorate your garden with bright colors. Another important advantage is that dipladenia goes well with other flowers.
When growing the plant, it is worth remembering that dipladenia loves sunny and warm places and does not tolerate temperatures below 45 degrees.
Pruning is not a mandatory procedure for the flower. However, this manipulation can promote rapid growth, including when grown on a trellis.
It is important to protect your hands when handling the plant, as the white sap from the stems can irritate the skin. Although the plant itself is not poisonous, it is best to keep small children and pets away from it.
Transfer
Dipladenia can grow in one container for a long time, as it is a very hardy plant.
Therefore, there is no particular need for annual replanting.
If you want to replant the flower in a new pot, choose a container that is the right size. If you choose a pot that is too big, it may retain water, which can lead to root rot.
As for fertilizers, for dipladenia it is enough to apply them only once a year.
If you follow these recommendations, your garden will become even more beautiful.
