Here are some care tips for the Allamanda creeper:

• Light: Allamanda plants require full sun to grow and bloom well. Place them in an area where they can receive at least 4 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Water: Allamanda plants require moderate watering. Water them deeply once a week, allowing the soil to dry out slightly before the next watering. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
• Soil: Allamanda plants prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Use a mixture of soil, sand, and compost for best results.
• Fertilizer: Fertilize Allamanda plants once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced fertilizer. Reduce or stop fertilizing during the dormant season (fall and winter).
• Pruning: Prune Allamanda plants to control their growth and promote bushier growth. Cut back the stems in the spring to encourage new growth and remove any dead or diseased wood.
• Propagation: Allamanda plants can be propagated from stem cuttings or by layering. Stem cuttings should be taken from healthy, mature plants and rooted in moist soil or water.
• Pests and Diseases: Allamanda plants are generally resistant to pests and diseases, but they can be susceptible to scale insects and mealybugs. Keep an eye out for pests and treat them promptly with insecticidal soap if necessary.
• By following these care tips, you can keep your Allamanda creeper healthy and blooming for many years.
