How to Grow and Care for Oleander

Oleander prefers light and can generally be grown under full sun. It is suitable for growing in neutral or slightly acidic soil, and the temperature is generally above 0°C, so winter protection measures should be taken in winter. It also has low fertilizer requirements; generally, about 20% base fertilizer is applied when potting, and moderate fertilization around Qingming and the Autumn Equinox is sufficient. Water moderately; generally water once a day in spring and twice a day in summer.

What are the growing conditions for oleander?

1. Watering: When caring for oleander, it is very important to get the watering amount right; improper watering may kill the plant. In spring, water once a day; in summer, when temperatures are slightly higher, water twice a day; also spray water appropriately to wash dust off the leaves; in winter, watering needs to be restricted.

2. Fertilizing: When potting, apply about 20% base fertilizer; fertilize once before Qingming, and after Qingming apply soybean cake water once every 10 days; after the Autumn Equinox, fertilize once more, and after the Autumn Equinox also fertilize once every 10 days.

3. Pruning: Prune the plant in spring, cutting off all overly long and weak branches. Dense branches also need appropriate thinning so the plant grows fuller.
