Care of oleanders
Now, one oleander has lost most of its leaves but is blooming, while the other one did not lose its leaves and is not blooming or budding.
How can the same plant react so differently from each other?
And what am I doing wrong?

Mary Ker on Feb 10, 2016The are outdoor, full sun plants down here in southern Arizona, so I suspect wherever you have them inside they are not getting enough sun, and a little difference in the sun can account for the difference in reaction. However, check for mites. And put them outside in the sun as soon as you can.Helpful Reply

Janet Pizaro on Feb 10, 2016Temperatures up here in the North are way to cold. Those plants cannot go outside until the weather permits which unfortunately will not be until late May or June.Helpful Reply

MN Mom on Feb 10, 2016The lighting, warmth and humidity can vary from room to room and even within the same room simply depending on the location. I don't find it unusual that your plants are at different stages or conditions. I am guessing New York's winter conditions aren't ideal for oleander. Hang in and see how they fare this summer!Helpful Reply

Carol Lawson on Feb 11, 2016The plant that has blooms gets more sun than the other one. Plus the temperature in that room is a little cooler than where the other plant is kept. So in the spring I will bring them both outside to get even more sun. I know someone who has a very old Oleander that grew to over 9 feet high and kept indoors. Since I have 12 ft ceilings, I want to have one of mine reach the skylight also! Thank you.Helpful Reply
