Oleander

Does anyone have a sure fire way to propagate oleander. My MIL has two huge bushes and I would like to have some cuttings but would like know the correct way to get a good start from these plants.

I just received some Orleander seeds today but don't know the first thing about it.

Any suggestions for raising indoors and starting under a grow light?

Sorry Rett, can't help you on that one. I'm trying to find out myself how to propagate from an existing plant. I'm new to the oleander business too.

I have one that was given to me from a cutting.
Do it just like you do any other cuttings.

I usually put them in water till they root. Will that work?
Thanks Paul

Here's a great Oleander Culture link at the International Oleander Society: http://www.oleander.org/culture.html

Enjoy! :)

When i was in Fla. last winter i just loved looking at all the beautiful oleander trees! I wanted to buy one at a nursery but the owner told me they would not do good at all in Michigan. I brought some of the seeds with me. This spring i planted them in regular potting soil. Now i have 4 seedlings 3" high that are going in their own pots. I hope i can keep them going?

Keep us posted tootsie. I planted three seeds in a small pot a few days ago and plan on keeping it in my appartment and or possibly on my balcony since I don't have a yard and live on the 9th floor.

My daughters neighbor has several; they are probably 5-6 ft high. They are in large pots, she just drags them into the garage for the winter and they do great.

I have a cutting from her that I've had for 2 years 3' high.
I bring mine in for the winter.

tootsie they do fine in Saskatchewan...people put them
outside for the summer and in a sunny window once it
starts getting cool outside. I used to see them all the
time but they are hard to find now.
