Karma, I took your advice on stripping the leaves off my Mandevilla before moving it into the greenhouse. I was a little nervous about it, but the mandy looked so bad after the aphids attacked it this year, and it didn't get enough sun either I guess as it was really spindley. Really I felt it looked so bad anyway, that even if I killed it, it wouldn't be that big a loss. :roll:

So I stripped the leaves and cut it back to about 30"...

I am pleased to report that it is growing new leaves and the stems have plumped up and look thicker! :D

Thanks, Dr. Karma! :D
