mandavilla/bugs/ diseases??

Foxboro, MA(Zone 6a)

Stippling on the leaves. white spots, leaves turn yellow and spotty, and the fall off. Not enough sun? What kinds of problems do they typically have? Mites? Fungus? What food is recomended? What spray for bugs will this plant tolerate??

Have both pink and yellow. but the pink is worse. Please give advice on common afflictions.

Thx,

Firebirds,

My Mandevilla had a rust on the leaves plus a lot of aphids. I mixed 2 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide, 1 tablespoon of palmolive dish soap in a tall spritzer bottle and fill with water. Use it once a week. It gets the bugs right away and hopefully the other later.

I think most of these things on the leaves have to be sprayed for preventative and are hard to get rid of once they get it. I took off the bad leaves and am spraying the new leaves. They appear to be doing much better. Jeanette
