Oleander better frost-free overwinter
In the warm and sunny regions around the Mediterranean, the oleander is also wild and very common. The flowering shrub with its lush flowering loves the warmth and is therefore unfortunately not reliably hardy in our latitudes. For this reason, a container culture is recommended to protect the plant from frost in the cold months.

The ideal winter setting for the oleander is cool between 0 and 5 ° C, frost-free and light. It is better not to spend the winter in the heated living room, because the plant needs a break during the winter months. In addition, it is far too dark inside the apartment for the light-hungry, evergreen oleander - even if you post it directly in front of a south-facing window. He would train again and again new impulses, but due to the lack of light always weaker and thus more susceptible to diseases and infections. On the other hand, if you have a cool winter, the plant does not need so much light and can therefore remain in an unheated room, in a cold conservatory or in the garage.
Do not hibernate too early - Oleander needs a lot of light
Due to the light problem, it is also recommended that Oleander not too early to clear the winter quarters. The plants are generally winter-resistant down to minus five degrees Celsius and can therefore remain outside during brief and low frosts. only when it is announced colder or permanent frost, a granting to winter quarters makes sense.
The right care in winter
Cold winter oleanders do not need to be fertilized in winter, but should be checked once a week for pests and other illnesses and, if necessary, watered. However, the need for water in winter is much lower than in summer. Oleander wintering in the warm living room should receive an additional light source, furthermore they will be poured as usual and also fertilized.
Tips
From about the beginning to the middle of March, you can put the oleander - if no deep or constant frosts are announced - back into the open.
