I have an Oleander cutting rooted in a pot from my old home
that I moved from in 2002. I am looking to plant this in the
ground this year and I am
wondering what type of light requirements they need? I was looking
at a perfect spot but I think it only gets a few hours morning sun
and then the rest of the day is shaded. Can anyone help?

The first thing I will tell you is toss it in the trash. Oleander is
poisonous to humans. The leaves, the flowers, the bark, the roots.
But if you must... plant it in full sun to get flowers, part shade to
get leaves.

(sigh) Not this crap again.

Yes, it is toxic. But in order to ingest a toxic level, you have to
eat a LOT of it. And from what I hear, oleander tastes extremely
bitter and nasty. So I challenge you to produce a credible news story
that shows oleander is the dangerous menace to humanity that you claim
it is.

Here's one:

BTW, it turns out that these 2 ate a LOT of oleander over a period of days,
if they indeed did eat it willingly. So much so that there was a thick layer
in their stomachs and much of the material was digested in their intestines.

"It usually takes a massive amount of the plant to cause death, and most
people,
particularly children, simply could not eat that much because the leaves are
so bitter,
experts said."
