Draw the Dipladenia as a pyramid

The Dipladenia in pyramid shape

• There are different types of Dipladenia. Some cultivars grow in a bushy shape, while others form long tendrils. The Sundaville variety, which is particularly good at climbing with its long shoots, is suitable for a pyramid.
• As a climbing frame for your pyramid, you can use rods made of wood, metal or plastic with a small diameter. You do not have to tie the tendrils, because the Dipladenia winds around these sticks by itself and climbs upwards. When the shoots are long enough, just place them on the sticks so that they can find the right direction.
• You can use ordinary potting soil for planting in a larger container. But buy a good quality with coarse ingredients so that the roots are adequately ventilated and water does not accumulate in the soil.

How to care for your plant

• Place your Dipladenia pyramid in a warm and sunny place on the terrace or balcony.
• Water sparingly because the plant does not need too much water and make sure that no water remains in the planter. To support her, give her something in the summer months fertilizer for balcony flowers.

• The Dipladenia cannot tolerate cold. Therefore, if you want to overwinter them, you have to bring them indoors in autumn. You can shorten shoots that have become very long beforehand.
• Put your plant in a bright and cool room for the winter months. Do not fertilize any more and water very little so that the soil in the pot does not dry out completely.
• In the spring, cut back your pyramid a little so that new shoots form again. This is important because the flowers of the Dipladenia always grow on the new shoots. If necessary, you can also repot them immediately.
• It is best to put the pot outside again in the middle or end of May. First choose a shady spot so that the plant can slowly get used to the sun again.
