Leaves Brown on Mandevilla Plant

Question

What causes the leaves to turn brown and fall of a mandevilla plant? I just purchased a large mandevilla plant and it had a few brown leaves on it. Since I repotted it, there are some leaves coming. I have never had a lot of luck with this plant, yet people say it is extremely easy to grow. Help!

Answer 1

It sounds like the plant may have been in need of water, which I'm assuming you gave following the repotting of the plant. Plants in containers require more watering than those in the ground - once a day and twice daily in temps over 85 F.
