The common oleander is a reliable and highly adaptable plant. In the article you will learn about the features of care.
The soil
Oleander needs a fertile substrate. It can be a mixture of peat, manure and garden soil, or a mixture of clay and humus. The plant can grow well in normal soil, but grows more vigorously in fertile, loose and well-drained sandy loam. It is also best to plant common oleander in slightly acidic or neutral soil.
Watering
Oleander is very fond of moisture, so in the summer it needs regular abundant watering.
Do not allow the earthen coma to dry out; the earth in the pot should always be slightly damp.
The plant responds well to leaf spraying. In summer, oleander loves to take a shower.
Fertilizer
Feed the plant during the flowering period with fertilizer for flowering plants. The transshipment of young plants is carried out annually in the spring, and the transplantation of adult bushes is carried out every 2-3 years.
The best top dressing for oleander is fertilizer for flowering plants.
Nitrogen fertilizer should be the main fertilizer during the growing season of the plant in spring, followed by potash and phosphate fertilizer during the breeding season in summer and autumn. Some manure can also be applied to the soil, while the content of organic fertilizers should be about 20%.
