Mandevilla ‘Tourmaline Fuchsia’
Mandevilla ‘Tourmaline Fuchsia’
Mandevilla ‘Tourmaline Fuchsia’ delivers a burst of tropical flair without requiring a large space or a trellis. This variety’s bold, fuchsia-pink blooms emerge on a unique non-vining form, allowing it to create eye-catching displays in small to large containers, as a striking in-ground accent, or mixed with other sun-loving plants. While it doesn’t naturally climb, you can still use a support to encourage upward growth and achieve a fuller, more dramatic presentation.
Easy to care for, ‘Tourmaline Fuchsia’ thrives in bright sunlight and warm conditions. Keep the soil consistently moist but well-draining, and feed during the growing season to maintain abundant flowering. Whether showcased on a patio, balcony, or within a garden bed, this mandevilla’s vibrant color and adaptable growth habit make it a brilliant choice for adding a lush, tropical vibe to any outdoor space.

- Watering: Water mandevilla 1–2 times a week, increasing to daily during very hot periods. Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Avoid standing water, as it can lead to root rot.
- Light: Requires at least six hours of sunlight daily. Can tolerate some shade, but bright, indirect light is ideal. Protect from harsh afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch.
- Soil/Drainage: Grows best in sandy, well-draining soil with a pH between 6.6 and 7.8. Enhance drainage by mixing in compost or other organic matter.
Temperature: Prefers warm conditions, ideally 70–90°F (21–32°C) during the day and around 60–65°F (15–18°C) at night. Bring indoors if there’s a risk of frost, as hard freezes are fatal. - Humidity: Enjoys high humidity. Mist the leaves regularly or use a humidifier if growing in a dry climate.
- Fertilizing: Feed in spring with a phosphorus-rich fertilizer. During the blooming season, apply a half-strength liquid fertilizer every two weeks to support flowering.
- Pruning/Support: Provide a sturdy trellis or support for climbing. Prune to maintain shape and remove dead or weak growth, promoting a healthier, more attractive plant.
- Pests and Diseases: Watch for spider mites and avoid keeping the soil too wet to prevent fungal diseases. Improve air circulation and maintain proper watering practices to keep the plant healthy.
- Repotting: Repot when the plant becomes root-bound, choosing a slightly larger pot. Ensure good drainage to encourage strong growth and abundant blooms.
