Mandevilla Help

6 years ago

My mandevilla has done well in this hanging pot for about a year and a half. last year, I had it in too bright of sun and it got some sunburn and then a fungus. This year I have kept in in the morning sun/afternoon shade (North Central Texas) but it appears to have something wrong with it again. However, this time it does have webs all over it as well. I cleaned the webs off it and found some beige looking spider things lol. But, I'm not sure if I need to treat for fungus?? Any insight would be appreciated!

The webs make me wonder if it is spider mites which multiply very quickly. Tap the leaves over a white paper and see if there are tiny specks moving around. If so take the plant down and gentle turn it upside and blast the underside of the leaves with water. Do this three times every third day and it should take care of them. They might be on other plants close by so check them all. Let us know what you find.

My mandevilla has lost most of it's leaves now. Unfortunately, there is no sign of bugs so I have been taking off the badly spotted yellow leaves and hitting it with a fungicide.
