Every year I buy a new mandavilla plant for the corner of our porch. We love the way it vines up the support post and piece of fencing that I put there for that purpose and the blossoms are vibrant and make a beautiful accent. My question is this; how do you over-winter this plant? A new one every year costs about $25. I know they are a tropical and the first frost kills them. What do I have to do to keep it alive inside so I could set it back out in the spring? Thanks for any and all…See More

- About Me:
- I love doing anything out-of-doors. I have 5 dogs, 2 cats, a goat. and 2 beef cattle. A few years ago I decided to try to raise a lot of the food we eat (including beef), but we now have so many Amish around us that it's cheaper and a lot less labor intensive to just buy it all from them. I still had 6 tomatoes this year, a row of potatoes, and a short row of green beans that my granddaughter planted. Everything we canned or froze came from the Amish. My favorite non-edible plants are day lilies. We have 75+ and really enjoy them. There is so much variety of color, size, and type that I never get tired of them.
I carve canes and walking sticks and when I'm not doing that I'm welding and building a 1935 Ford Rat Rod pick-up.
