Mandevilla leaves all dropped off except...

21 years ago

I place my mandevilla in the garage when we evacuated from Hurricane Rita...it stayed in the garage for 2 weeks. DH watered once before I got back. All the leaves fell off except the very top (5 leaves). It is now under oak tree getting filtered sun. Will it survive? Thanks.

I wouldn't worry about it. Mine get almost totally defoliated in the winter and bounce back. Lots of light, some heat, and you should see new growth soon. They have fleshy roots to carry them through such times. Unless the roots cooked or were poisoned, I find these to be tough plants.
