Purple Allamanda Care

Allamanda cherishes moisture and needs watering in case of heat waves. But don’t forget that the root area must drain well or the roots will rot!The allamanda vine has particularly high water needs during the 1st year after planting.Water preferably in the evening. If you can water twice a day, dawn and dusk is ideal.

Allamanda takes pruning well, it even helps it grow stronger.Indeed, this is a vigorous climbing vine we’re dealing with, sometimes even invasive. Pruning it is the way to set boundaries to its growth.Pruning doesn’t impact the blooming, nor does it slow the allamanda’s growth. Severe pruning can also be performed several times a year, or once every couple years.Pruning before spring growth renews is best, at the end of winter.

Add flower plant fertilizer once or twice a month, especially for allamanda grown in pots.

As such it requires high light, consistently warm temperatures and humidity of at least 50 percent.

It loves soil that drains particularly well. It’ll thus feel right at home with a mix of one part garden soil, one part soil mix and one part sand.

Allamanda must be planted in a warm spot and should be brought indoors in winter if temperatures drop below 40°F (5°C).Choose a place that is sheltered from wind and preferably along a lattice that it can climb along. Indeed, wind tends to dry plants out, and Allamanda is vulnerable to air that is too dry.

Growing allamanda in pots is recommended everywhere temperatures drop below 40°F (5°C) during winter.
