FREE: White Nerium Oleander

The listing, White Nerium Oleander has ended.

This auction is for 25+ seeds

Planting Instructions
Spread the oleander seeds over the soil in the seed-raising tray. Sprinkle a 1/8-inch layer of soil over the seeds. Lightly tamp the soil with your fingertips so it sits firmly over the seeds.

Water the seeds with a spray bottle; aim to keep the soil moist, not soggy.

Cover the seed-raising tray with clear plastic wrap or cover to insulate the seeds and to help maintain the soil moisture until the seeds germinate.

Place the seed tray in a sunlit area. Aim for a temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit. As an alternative, suspend fluorescent lights above the tray. Moisten the soil, as needed, throughout the germination process. Expect the seeds to germinate within approximately one month.

Transplant the seedlings to individual pots once their second set of true leaves appear. Plant them outdoors in a sun-filled area at the beginning of summer or after all danger of frost has passed.
Care
Apply a layer of compost under the plant each spring, spreading it out to the dripline (the area under the outermost branches). Add a 2-inch layer of mulch to retain moisture and control weeds. Water plants during the summer if rainfall is less than 1 inch per week. Prune oleander after the main bloom period to encourage bushier growth and more flowers, and to reduce the size of the shrub.
