Move the vine inside when inside/outside temps are about the same (60's). If they are planted in the ground, replant in a container large enough to accomadate the rootball. Cut back to about 12". Wash the leaves to get rid of outdoor pest and spiders. If it is in a container already, you may want to flush the soil to rid it of bugs. Light watering and no fertilizer are all that is required during the winter. When outside temps stay above 60, move back outside. Winter growth may burn off rapidly but that is not a problem. Water regularly and use a liquid fertilizer. They will soon be back in their glory. Good luck.

Do not overlook light requirements if moving mandevilla indoors. Mandevilla requires curtain-filtered or bright indirect sunlight.
