Golden trumpet vine is a common sight in gardens with year-round warmth and plenty of sun. These needs make growing Allamanda indoors ideal where there is good southern or western exposure. Even the northernmost gardener can enjoy an indoor Allamanda flowering vine. You may have to invest in a good plant light and turn up the thermostat, but it’s worth it to bring the rich yellow flowers and lovely formed foliage. Allamanda plant care is similar to most tropical houseplants and can be mastered with a few tricks.
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.
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 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.
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.
