Known as the moth orchid, the
phalaenopsis is noted for it's arching spray of flowers and it's thick green
leaves. Phalaenopsis are very popular not only because of their ethereal beauty,
but because of their ease of care and their extremely long blooming period,
often lasting many months. Phalaenopsis make excellent house plants, and everlasting gifts.
Featured Plant: Mandevilla
(Dipladenia)
Family: Apocynaceae
Origin: Southeastern
Brazil
Mandevilla is a tender, woody vine that
provides nonstop blooms throughout the summer.
Fuzzy young stems twine around supports,
eventually climbing to heights up to 10 feet. The handsome, leathery leaves are
dark green, up to 8 inches long and 3 to 4 inches wide. Mandevilla is very fast
growing. Parts of plant are poisonous if
ingested.
Most species overwinter only in the tropical
South. Up North, they can be grown indoors. They should be brought indoors before
the first freeze and treated as a houseplant during the winter months. In the
spring, Mandevilla can be returned outside after the last spring freeze or after
the threat of freezing weather has passed. Mandevilla is great trellised in
containers or in hanging baskets.
Indoors, Mandevillas need bright indirect
sunlight. Provide temperatures of 60° or above. In spring and summer,
feed every two weeks with a fertilizer high in phosphorus such as 10-20-10.
Outdoors, Mandevilla does well in light
shade, but can tolerate direct sun.
Since 45° to 50° F is the minimum
temperature that can be tolerated by Mandevilla, plants should be moved indoors
for the winter. In late winter or early spring before growth begins, prune by
removing old, crowded stems and shortening others.
