How to prune pink dipladenia

Early spring before active growth; light pinching throughout the growing season. Trim stems back by one-third above a healthy leaf node with sterilized bypass pruners. Pinch soft shoot tips every few weeks during summer to promote branching. Remove spent flower stems promptly to encourage the next flush.

Tip-pinching and modest spring pruning keep it bushy and bloom-heavy. Like all Mandevilla relatives it responds well to light trimming after flush cycles. The milky sap irritates skin — wear gloves when cutting.
