The most common is white oleander,it is grown in large administrative buildings and greenhouses. Possesses such a potential by means of which a small compact bush can turn into a huge branchy tree.
Where to place oleander ordinary
It is better if the flower is in the corridor,kitchen or other non-residential premises. Otherwise, you will have a headache, and in the literal sense of the word. Abundant flowering exudes an aroma that adversely affects a person's well-being. If you stay in a room with a plant for a long time, your head may even feel dizzy.
Flowering lasts quite a long time: in June it starts and ends in November. In the brush of the inflorescence, one can observe both the ovary, buds, and open petals at the same time.
Being a southerner by nature, a white oleander loves the sun and feels great under its direct rays. This is even mandatory for abundant and prolonged flowering.
Conditions of maintenance and care
1. In the period of active vegetation, it is necessary that the temperature in the room is approximately + 20 + 25 degrees.
Starting from May and ending with September, the plant grows and develops, so at this time it is necessary to carry out fertilizing with organic fertilizers.
2. Watering room oleander is necessary only with standing water. With steady heat, the pot is placed in a deep pan that is filled with wet gravel or expanded clay. Do not forget that in nature a flower grows near water, so it is abundantly and regularly watered.
3. In the cold season, the plant should be kept at + 4 + 12 degrees and good light. With a lack of the latter, the oleander completely discards the leaves, and in summer does not want to blossom.
4. With the beginning of the heating season, the tub with the flower should be moved away from the radiator. And to prevent the consequences of staying in a dry room, oleander must be sprinkled with water every day.
5. In order to form a beautiful branchy crown, immediately after flowering pruning is performed. Be careful, since you are dealing with a poisonous representative of the family. Perform all operations in rubber gloves.
If you have small children at home, refuse even the idea of acquiring this plant. Suffices one leaf to cause irreparable harm to human health.
