How to multiply it by division

Divide oleander correctly

Oleander can be easily propagated by dividing, especially since the individual pieces usually root again quickly and grow quickly. Splitting is the ideal way to turn an oleander bush that may be too large into several small ones - however, they often reach their original size within a short period of time.

The best way to split the oleander is as follows:

• Take the division together with repotting before.
• The best time for this is spring, immediately after clearing out.
• Take the oleander out of the pot and gently shake off the soil.
• Now take a sharp knife and separate the bush into the desired number of pieces.
• Each individual bush should have several shoots and sufficient roots.
• Be careful not to damage the roots more than necessary.
• If a root pruning is necessary, prune the bush above ground as well.
• After all, fewer roots will not be able to feed all of the shoots that were previously there.
• Plant the individual pieces in separate pots and water them thoroughly.

The same applies to potting the isolated oleanders as to any other oleander plant.

• Pick one as well wide and deep planter.
• This should be about a third larger than the actual root ball.
• The pot should have drainage holes on the bottom,
• cover them with potsherds - so the earth cannot be washed out.
• Fill in the plant substrate (mixed if possible)
• and put the oleander in it.
• Do not kink any roots.
• Thoroughly water the oleander
• and place it in a light and warm place.
