    There are a number of reasons why the leaves may turn yellow. One might be overwatering. Too much water causes yellowing of the leaves and mandevilla do not like overly wet feet. Another possibility could be too little water. If this is the case, the yellow leaves would be curling up as well. Mealy bugs can occasionally affect these plants, causing them to become weak and leading to yellow foliage. Finally, plant stress due to a change in location, temp., etc. can lead to yellow leaves.

    In areas such as yours, you may want to bring it indoors over winter. In warmer regions, it can be left outside. Here is an article that you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/mandevilla/mandevilla-plant.htm

    You can prune it before bringing it in and the plant will actually be happier if you do. You can cut it back by up to 1/3 before bringing it indoors.

    Yes, you can cut it back some. In the future, you may want to pinch your mandevilla. This method of pruning will create a bushier and fuller plant. To pinch your mandevilla vine, simply use your fingers to pinch off 1/4 – 1/2 inch off the end of each stem.
