I would really like to add mandevilla to the plants I sell. Has anyone had success at making cuttings? How do I propagate them? should I cut from hard wood? I would like to start this project in the next few weeks. It stopped flowering in Jan so I thought it's a good time to try and do this?? Any info is appreciated.
this is what it's looking like today

Never tried but would love to know... I'd say it probably can be done with a rooting hormone.

If it flowered, did it have berries or seeds?
Just a thought!:03:

google for mandevilla cutting & rooting. There are tons of info; no need for me to repeat it here. Apparently this plant is easy to root in soil or water.

Instead of learning propagation one plant at a time, get the standard textbook for horticultural propagation courses. The whole process will start making a lot more sense. It includes specific instructions for most Genera, referencing methods presented in the first part of the book:
Plant Propagation, ed. by Alan Toogood.
There are two editions, one for the American Horticultural Society and the other for GW Books. Inside the front cover pages they are identical.

They will root easily from cuttings, with the proper hormones. Over the years,(many) I've gotten seeds, a couple of times. They grow easily.
