My google skills appear to be failing me today. Does anyone have any
experience of how to go about propogating a mandeville plant? My neighbour
and I both have one each - mine is currently in full flower, she's sulking
cos hers is just starting to bud. :-)
I wondered about taking cuttings, but it's one of those plants that seems to
bleed a lot when it is snapped, so I'm not sure a cutting would work at all.
Anyone got any suggestions (preferably from experience)

My mother had a huge pink mandeville that she split every year right
down through the roots. I think that's the best way how to take
cuttings but it is a bit vicious! She gave away half of the plant and
SFAIK, they survived. One she gave to me got a bit too big for the
house so I put it outside against a wall. It lived up to winter 2009.

Cheers, I'll give that a go when it goes dormant, then. I've had this one
about a year, took it into the house for winter as was warned it was quite
tender. It's currently climbing all over the place and I was wondering how
I was going to cut it back to bring it in for winter!

When you split it you will have two plants climbing all over place!

This may help:

Though not from experience, sorry. Just that I had a notion that
searching on Dipladenia might produce something worthwhile.
Cheers
