Question From: B. Andreasson - MICHIGAN
Q: I read your article every week. I have 3 beautiful mandevilla plants on my balcony and I was wondering if I could keep them over the winter and if you think I can, how would I go about it. Also I have a trumpet plant (bush) that was beautiful this summer, loaded with big yellow flowers, and would I be able to winter that also. I have wintered geranium plants and they have done beautifully. I have gotten so many good tips from your articles. Thank you
A:
Hopefully you will bring them in tonight. Some folks take them to the basement and let them go dormant in a cool area. Do put a few ice cubes on the surface of the soil every couple of weeks to keep the soil moist. Best Nancy
