Potted Culture — Mandevilla sanderi

For Mandevilla sanderi, restricting the root system volume in a pot is a key factor in preventing excessive vegetative growth at the expense of flowering. The use of hanging baskets stimulates lateral branching, increasing the number of floral nodes by up to 40% compared to vertical trellising.

The technological specifics of the crop require substrates with high air and water permeability, achieved by adding sand or crushed brick to protect the roots from waterlogging. The potted method allows for effective management of vegetative and dormant cycles through plant mobility, ensuring optimal light and temperature conditions.
