🌿 Care Instructions:

☀️ Light:

Prefers full sun, ideally receiving 6 or more hours of direct sunlight daily for healthy growth and abundant flowering. Tolerates partial shade, although flowering may be reduced.

💧 Watering:

Water regularly during the first year to help establish a strong root system. Once established, Oleander becomes more drought-tolerant. Water deeply when needed and avoid waterlogged soil.

🪴 Soil:

Adapts to various soil types, including sandy and loamy soils. Well-draining soil is preferred to prevent excess moisture around the roots.

🌡️ Temperature:

Thrives in warm to hot climates and tolerates high temperatures. Protect young plants from severe frost and prolonged freezing conditions.

🍃 Humidity:

Adapts well to dry conditions and moderate humidity. Regular leaf misting is generally unnecessary, and good air circulation is recommended.

🌱 Fertilizing:

Apply a balanced fertilizer during the growing season as needed, following the product instructions. Avoid excessive fertilization to maintain balanced growth and flowering.

✂️ Pruning:

Prune as needed to remove dead or damaged branches and maintain a neat, balanced shape. Pruning is best carried out after the main flowering period. Wear protective gloves and avoid contact with the plant's sap.

⚠️ Important Safety Warning:

All parts of the Oleander plant are highly toxic if ingested, including its leaves, flowers, and stems.

Keep away from children and pets. Avoid contact with the sap, especially the eyes and sensitive skin.

Wear protective gloves when pruning, and wash your hands and tools thoroughly after handling the plant. Never burn Oleander trimmings or use any part of the plant for cooking or food preparation.
