    I want to try to root oleander cuttings and am now studying what conditions and care the plant needs. Maybe one of the authors will share their experience.

      Oleander cuttings readily form roots in water in spring and summer. It is only important not to change it, but only to top it up as it evaporates. Then plant the shoots in cups/pots according to the size of the regrown roots, and then, as they grow, transfer them to a large container.
      For me this is one of my favorite plants. I plant it in a mixture of universal soil with perlite, and add drainage to the bottom of the pot. Dry long-acting fertilizers added to the soil showed positive results.

      Watering is very important for oleander. During active growth and flowering, I moisten it abundantly, focusing on the condition of the soil - whether it is dry or not. I do not recommend using cold water. It's better to keep it warm.
      If it is necessary to form a crown, I prune the handsome tree in early spring. Moreover, I noticed that it blooms both in the year of cutting and without it. But what definitely plays the main role in the formation of flower buds is good lighting.
      In summer, you can safely take the plant outside. “Holidays” in the fresh air under the sun are only good for him, and over the course of the season he builds up good green mass. In the southern regions it is used for landscaping garden plots and planted in open ground.

      Thanks to proper care and agricultural technology, oleander is resistant to pests and diseases. If problems arise, use appropriate medications.

    To achieve oleander flowering, it must be pruned regularly. But do
    this is necessary not in the spring, but in the second half of summer (flowering specimens - after flowering). This is due to the fact that the oleander blooms on overwintered shoots. In addition, success is determined by winter content. It should be as light and cold as possible (+ 6-8 deg.).

    A young plant in a single stem about 20 in height acquired in the spring. Immediately landed on the backyard, where oleander over the summer grew twice, but did not branch out. For the winter, together with a clod of land, I transplanted into 5 a pot in the garden land.

    Since the oleander needs a cool winter, it was put in a summer kitchen, where in winter it does not exceed + 18 degrees, on a southern window with a single frame. Because of frosts, the temperature dropped to + 10 degrees.
    Poured moderately, but tried to make sure that the earth dump did not completely dry up. Apparently, the conditions like the plant - there were buds.

    With the onset of stable heat, the oleander again landed in the garden, this time not in the sun, but in the shade of the tree. The plant blossomed magnificently and attractively. Soon there were three shoots at the top and one at the very bottom. At the end of the summer, the oleander again blossomed, on new shoots. Flowering was even more magnificent.
    To flowering oleander was abundant, and the crown thick, cut it in early spring - and the plant blooms on young shoots.
