Mar 9, 2021 · Cut back flowered shoots by half and remove a few centimetres of un-flowered shoot tips which will encourage bushy growth. Every spring, repot oleanders growing in pots, moving up to the next size of container. If plants are already in large pots, top-dress by gently scraping off the top 3-5 cm of compost and replacing with fresh soil-based ...

In their perennial range across oleander hardiness zones 8 to 10, most oleanders can only handle temperatures that dip no lower than 15 to 20 degrees F. (10 to -6 C.). Sustained exposure to these temperatures can damage plants and inhibit or reduce flowering. They perform best when planted in full sun, which also helps melt the frost formation ...

- Things To Avoid. Do not hard prune the bush in late autumn or after. Any hard pruning should be done by early autumn. Continue to water this evergreen plant during winter though the amount of water and frequency of watering should be reduced.
- Lay Mulch. Before the first frost, lay an 8-10cm layer of mulch around the main stem, leaving open about 2cm around it. Be sure not to use an ericaceous mulch, such as a mulch composed of bark or pine needles.
- Shield The Bush. If your oleander bush is correctly sited, it will be in a sheltered, south-facing spot. If not, you may have a job on your hands. Freezing northeasterly blasts, even if they do not prove fatal, will damage the plant buds and maybe even some branches.
- Protect The Roots. Heavy rain, sleet or snow will result in an accumulation of icy water in the soil which could be harmful to oleanders. When such inclement weather is anticipated, spread a thick plastic sheet or tarp on the soil so that the root system, particularly the crown, is protected.
Mar 25, 2021 · Oleanders are hardy in USDA plant hardiness zones 9 through 10. This means that they can withstand the cold winter weather in those zones. Some winter hardy oleander bushes, like the cultivar ‘Calypso,’ can thrive in USDA zone 8. However, in zone 8, care of oleanders in winter is more difficult.

Oleander is adaptable to many challenging conditions including drought, heat, salty air and urban pollution. Plants can tolerate an occasional light frost. Soil: Oleander prefers average soil with good drainage and a neutral pH between 6.5-7.5. Plants are tolerant of poor soils. Bloom period: Year-round, with peak bloom in warmer months. Flowers:
While oleander can get frost damage, it is cold tolerant and can be overwintered in a garage as long as it doesn’t freeze and can get at least indirect sunlight. Like most overwintered plants, oleander requires less water and fertilizer. Large oleander plants can be watered when the top inch or two of soil is dry.

Sep 16, 2022 · Once your plant is inside, skip the fertilizer. Growth stops in the winter when oleander is dormant. Water needs will be reduced at this time as well. Do give your plant some supplemental water, but only once the soil has become dry a few inches down in the pot. A soil moisture meter is super handy here.
