MAINTENANCE

The Nerium oleander thrives of humidity. To be happy inside, it requires direct sunlight all year. Its soil should always be moist and well drained, especially during summer months whether it is inside or not. The watering frequency may vary depending on the humidity level in the room and the season. Its foliage appreciates being misted, especially during winter months. It is best to avoid misting the blooms; they may shrivel prematurely when in contact with droplets. 

When you take possession of your plant, make sure you assess its watering needs. Before you give it a drink the first time, check the soil’s moisture level to verify whether or not it is moist near the surface. It is best to aerate the soil before the initial watering since it is often compacted to avoid shifting during transit. This also allows it to breathe and release moisture.

Rotate your plant periodically in order to encourage an even growth. Cleaning the leaves regularly will stimulate proper photosynthesis. As you wipe the foliage, inspect the leaves on either side to make sure there are no pests.
