OLEANDER ROOM – CARE
My favorite indoor flower is oleander.
This handsome man grows with me 2013 year and every year pleases with flowering. And I can't take my eyes off these gorgeous rosebuds!
Oleander can bloom in waves several times per season - and all this with simple care!
OLEANDER CARE AT HOME – TABLE
Temperature |
In winter – not less + 5 city., but do not put to batteries; summer – +18-27 city. |
Air humidity |
Above average, the plant reacts poorly to heat and dry air; I spray every day during the heating season, the rest of the time I keep the flower pot in a pallet with wet expanded clay |
Lighting |
Loves bright light, perfectly settled down on the south side (with shade at noon) |
Watering |
Summer – frequent, so that the soil is always moist; in winter I dry the soil between waterings (I water about once every 10 days with warm, settled water) |
Priming |
1) Peat, sod land, sand, humus earth, taken in equal parts; 2) leaf land, peat, sod land, sand (2:1:1: 0,5); with good drainage |
Top dressing |
I feed under the root from May to September – 2 once a month with liquid complex fertilizer, diluted by half |
Transfer |
Once in 3 of the year, in spring; young plants – more often (when the roots emerge from the drainage hole of the pot); into a volumetric deep container |
Размножение |
In spring or at the end of summer, I root the apical cuttings in water |
