We are in the fifth month of the year, which is the favourite period for most of us. Everything is blooming, turning green and we can say goodbye to the last frosty nights. At the same time pests and pathogens are working full steam ahead. Let’s see what to do in the garden during May.
A few words about the oleander
One of the loveliest exotic flowering plants in Hungary is the oleander, which can be a brilliant decoration for gardens, terraces or even the balconies of condominiums. Below are a few hints on how to make our oleander bloom beautifully this year.
One of the biggest influencing factors of the flourishing of oleanders is its wintering. The ideal place for it is a cool, dark, humid place, but even then do not forget to keep the base moist.
Oleanders are extremely nutritious and water-intensive plants and only beautify in the hottest sun.
It is essential to prune the plant every two years. In the absence of pruning, it will stretch high and our oleander will not be as abundant as we may expect.
Joyful gardening!
