Cultivation and care of the Allamanda
Allamanda is a plant that prefers acidic soil, rich in organic matter but well drained. It blooms in spring and autumn. In summer and spring, it needs constant watering, while in autumn, only one watering per week is sufficient.
This plant should be fertilized every 20 days with liquid fertilizers which are dissolved in the irrigation water. Allamanda can be grown on balconies, although it is mostly used to decorate walls, pergolas and pergolas. Allamanda can be attacked by red spider mites and mealybugs and can be treated with an ornamental insecticide to address these issues.
