  • - Pinch back new growth to encourage bushier plants and more blooms

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Generally pest-resistant, but monitor for common issues like spider mites and aphids
  • - Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil as needed

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Can be grown as a perennial in zones 10-11 or as an annual in cooler climates

THE ABSOLUTE BEST

The shipping was a little longer than expected but, when the my plants arrived, that didn’t matter at all. They were bigger than expected and showed no signs of distress at all. This is hands down, the best online Nursery I’ve ever dealt with. Definitely recommend!!!

Mandevilla

I got my plant in the mail and it was beautifully packaged. Not a spec of dirt out of place and it was a very happy looking plant. When I opened it it did have powdery mildew so I contacted them to report this. They were extremely helpful to recommend an organic fungicide and it is now doing well. They had great communication and response times to help when I did see this problem. I will still order more plants with them in the future.

Mandevilla vines

I ordered 6 of the Giant Red Mandevilla vines and 2 of the Giant Pink. They arrived healthy. I put them in pots and two days later we had freeze warning. I dug them back up and brought inside the house. It was a full 8 days before the weather improved and I could replant. They survived just fine and are growing quickly.

Mandevilla Sun Parasol Giant Crimson Plant

Received this plant in a 2.5 pot and expected a wimpy plant. Instead received a plant with about 20 inches of growth, healthy, and packaged very well. Transplanted it in a 1.5 gallon pot and it has simply taken off.Very good value for the money. I would not hesitate to do business with them again. Good communication, fast shipment. Shipping a little expensive, but true for most plants. very satisifed.

Great packaging and extremely healthy plants.

The plants arrived in excellent condition. I was so impressed with packaging system that I saved the plastic container to show my friends and neighbors and also placed my second order. Great job!

Sun Parasol

Just received my order as promised. I ordered months ahead of time knowing they could be out of stock. Delivered in quite the secure package. Already planted and can't wait to see it grow.

Sun Parasol Giant Crimson

As a first time customer I was a bit skeptical of receiving quality plants. I've tried several other online companies and have not been satisfied. GrowJoy did what they promised! My order arrived in less time than promised and all plants were in good shape. Several were even flowering in the box. I will definitely be ordering from GrowJoy again.
