Caring for Oleanders: Watering and Pruning Tips

Prune oleanders in the late winter or early spring to shape and promote new growth. Water regularly in the summer months, but allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Keep an eye out for pests like scale insects and treat with neem oil. Fertilize oleanders with a slow-release fertilizer in the spring to promote healthy growth. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering.
