Oleander needs a sufficiently large pot to grow healthy
Transplant Oleander in time in spring
With proper care Oleander grows quite fast and can be very large as well as wide. Especially younger specimens should be repotted once a year, so that they can continue to grow vigorously and bloom lush.
When is the right time to transplant the oleander?
It will be high time for transplanting, if the roots of the oleander already grow out of the drain hole on the bottom of the pot. Then you can be sure that in the pot is no longer enough soil for the numerous roots. In many cases, the cramped roots also mean that the oleander no longer flowers so abundantly and its leaves turn yellow. The reason for this is the lack of nutrients, because in the narrow planter, the roots can not absorb as much nutrients as necessary for an adequate supply. Therefore, younger copies should
Planter and substrate - Which is the right one?
For transplanting, take a slightly larger bucket, in which the root ball can be easily accommodated. Usually, it is sufficient to select the next larger vessel and shorten the roots before potting. Older and very large Oleander can also be easily planted in the old pot, but a root incision is essential. In this case, shorten the root ball by about a third and do not forget to cut back the aboveground shoots to the same extent. The most important thing when transplanting is anyway the fresh substrate, whereby you can mix this yourself or even commercially. Humus-poor soil for Mediterranean potted plants is the right choice. Be sure to add slow-release fertilizer!

Tips
You can also bury the oleander in the garden over the summer. However, you must get it out again when a cold winter threatens. When planting in the soil, do not remove the plant pot, however, if you already have the planter.
