Origin
The Dipladenia, also known as Sundaville, has its origin in Central and South America. The plant is native to tropical and subtropical areas where it grows in the forests and on cliffs. The Sundaville is part of the periwinkle family, known as Apocynaceae. Within this family, the Sundaville falls under the Mandevilla genus, specifically Dipladenia sundaville.

Characteristics
Typical for the Sundaville are the large trumpet-shaped flowers, which can bloom in different colours such as red, pink, white and yellow. The flowers are striking and the plant is often admired for these beautiful and vibrant colours. In addition to the flowers, glossy, dark green leaves are also a characteristic aspect of the plant. Another important feature is the growth form: the Sundaville is a climbing plant and can reach a height of 2 meters at maturity.

Care
In terms of care, the Sundaville needs a lot of light, but no direct sunshine. The plant requires regular watering, especially during the blooming period in spring and summer. Overwatering should be avoided as this may lead to root rot. Finally, it is important to place the Sundaville in a cooler environment during the winter months and to reduce watering.
