Mandevilla help?

[Rajah]

What do I do with my Mandevilla (sp?) now that it's run out of room to climb? It wants to climb higher, there's nothing left for it to climb on, I don't want it climbing to the ceiling of the porch, so now what?

 

[amid chaos]

I would tie some string to what ever it climbed on and then to the porch ceiling.
Or you could just cut the growth that keeps trying to climb.

You said it was an Alice Du Pont Mandevilla, right Rajah? I hope you have a long porch......!

Check out the third paragraph.....Alice Du Pont.

LOL! Well, mine is producing lots of green, but no flowers since the first one it had...

While my smaller mandevilla, I think something like Red Riding Hood, is producing pink flower after pink flower. No more than two at a time, but it's been a solid bloomer since I got it home.
