After years of oblivion, oleander returns to the group of the most popular container plants.The Mediterranean ornamental shrub has many varieties with white, light yellow, light and dark pink, salmon and red flowers, developing from June until September. The evergreen shrub can reach a height of 2.0 to 4.0 m. Note: oleander is poisonous!
Oleander - irrigation
Plants should not be bathed in water in summer.Some water may remain on the stand after watering.
Oleander fertilization
The basis for the lush flowering of oleanders is solid fertilization. During the growing season, from March to September, our bushes are supplied with full-value liquid fertilizer for plants in containers.
Oleander cut
In the spring, cut just above the ground about 1/3 of the bush. Flowers will develop on last year's shoots from buds already set in autumn.
Oleander - wintering
In late autumn, oleanders, which can survive frosts down to -5 ° C, are transferred to a bright, cool room with a temperature of 5-10 ° C.During this time, check regularly for if no scale marks appeared on the leaves. This is especially true for rooms with dry air.Also in winter, the root ball of the bush should not dry out completely.
Tip
After cutting the oleander shoots, wash your hands thoroughly and clean your tools thoroughly to get rid of any poisonous juice residue.
