Oleander. Sunny porch decoration

Probably, many, resting in the Crimea or in Turkey, admired high shrubs, abundantly sweated by terry or simple flowers of various colors (white, pink, red, yellow). By evening, they publish a subtle fragrance. This is oleander, or nonnium, the sorrows family.
In winter and in the summer I have grown it for many years as a waiting plant, and it winter in a cool room (+ 10-13 deg) by the window. In the spring, my olenders move to the veranda, later - to the street, on the porch of the southern orientation. I have long selected candidates for landscaping the entrance to the house (sultry summer under the scorching sun. Few plants are able to survive), stopped on oleander. Their leaves are protected by a dense cuticle, allowing less to evaporate moisture into a hot noon, economically spending it.
Thanks to this device, the olendra feel perfectly
Even under the scorching sun, the leaves remain elastic, shiny, do not lose the tour. Outdoors, they are covered with flowers until late autumn. What is interesting, with untimely watering oleander dumps the lower leaves, but not
Flowers with buds - and this is undoubted dignity.
Nutrition. As a fast-growing and abundant plant, the oleander needs nutrient soil and feeding. I feed the chicken litter, which at first I smell on the bottom of a liter polyethylene bottle by a layer of 2 cm. Then two hours pour water. After that, I swallow well and pour under the plants.
The next time I might irrigate a solution of mangartee to prevent the development of mushroom diseases from the dispute contained in any organic feeding. This method allows you to maintain nitrogen in the litter solution necessary for the growth and development of plants. To improve the nutrition of old frame crops on the surface of the soil, lay a layer of a cowboat and cover it with a peatkin.
Good care. In the evening, I arrange to sprinkle from the hose in the evening, I wash off the dust on the day on the day, because clean leaves are the pledge of the health of plants. In addition, such a procedure protects the oleander from the lesion of the shield. No other pests and diseases did not notice.
The scanty bloom of old bushes is observed due to lack of food, it is cut, watering and lacking trimming. Oleanders form flowers only on the tops of annual strong shoots, so it is necessary to crop the plant every year after flowering. With a lack of lighting, flowers can change their painting on white.
Spank them with cuttings (cursed in sand or water), gag and seeds. Moreover, cut cuttings are bold faster if they are placed in a dark capacity (better heated) with water and add an activated carbon tablet. Waiting for the appearance of the roots is better on the southern window.
