Hdr-Oleander

 

Last August I got an Oleander plant. When I got it, it grew by one-two inches. At the end of the growth, it looked like there were going to be either branches or flowers. However, it hasn't grown since and it is not loosing any leaves. I don't understand what is going on.

Thank you
Mary


Mary - Thanks for your query, and hope this advice will see your oleander on the recovery ward.
Oleanders are a sub tropical shrub that will spread to 5 or 6 feet and range as high as 8 feet.. but only in it's natural habitat.

As a pot plant, the care and feeding will include warm and bright conditions and a general feed of triple 20 at least 4 times a year. This plant resembles our native willow, but all parts are extremely poisonous to mammals.

Use as a patio plant during the early spring and summer months. Bring indoors after a mild frost to ripen and re- develop leaves and potential flowering.
