Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Pink Oleander live plants is straightforward, ensuring they grow into healthy, vibrant shrubs. These plants are known for their hardiness, but providing the right conditions will maximize their blooming potential and overall vigor. They are best suited for outdoor environments where they can receive ample sunlight and good air circulation. Remember that all parts of the Oleander plant are toxic if ingested, so plant them in areas away from pets and curious children, and always wash hands after handling.

For optimal growth, these outdoor flowering shrubs require full sun exposure, meaning at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. While they can tolerate partial shade, their flowering will be significantly reduced. Ensure they are planted in well-drained soil; Oleanders are not tolerant of consistently wet feet. A sandy or loamy soil enriched with organic matter is ideal. When planting, dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Place the plant, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly to settle the soil. Once established, the drought tolerant oleander needs moderate watering, especially during prolonged dry periods. Young plants will require more consistent moisture until their root systems are fully developed. Fertilize in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer to encourage robust growth and abundant blooms throughout the season.

Pruning is beneficial for maintaining shape, size, and promoting new growth and flowering. The best time to prune is in late winter or early spring before new growth begins, or immediately after a flush of blooms to encourage more flowers. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. You can also prune to thin out the plant for better air circulation or to reduce its overall size. While generally robust, keep an eye out for common pests like oleander aphids or mealybugs. These can typically be managed with horticultural oil or insecticidal soap. With proper care, your Nerium oleander will thrive and become a cherished part of your landscape.
