    Those yellow bugs are probably oleander aphids. Here is an article that will give you ideas on how to contend with them - Horticultural soap sprays or neem oil work well for aphid control.:

    It sounds like you have both a Sooty Mold issue as well as Mealybugs.

    Here are links that will help you with both of these issues.

    Yes, you can regularly pinch back your Dipladenia.

    The purpose of tubers on mandevilla roots is to hold water reserves, they can't be split off and used for reproduction. When it comes to propagation, Mandevilla vines can only be propagated from seeds or cuttings. However, you can extend the life of your existing plants by overwintering them in pots - this extension article gives you two different methods on how to do so:

    When overwintering mandevillas, however, you need to water them only occasionally to ensure they don't dry out. Since yours appeared to be dried out and dead, I don't think you will be able to resuscitate it.

    You certainly can pinch back or trim the plant to encourage more compact growth.

    Forgot to mention, the T8 24 inch bulbs are plant/aquarium bulbs, I can get higher UVB bulbs, but would have to move the plant somewhere else, as I have some low light plants in the hallway area
