My poor old potted Oleanders are looking a bit sick. They have been
wrapped in fleece in an unheated greenhouse all winter and haven't
been frosted, (the fuschias in there were OK). They are now outside in
a sheltered but sunny spot. The leaves look very tired and brownish. I
gave them a high nitro feed hoping that would perk them up but that
was 14 days ago. Still looking tired.

I have thoughts of potting them on but the roots have filled the pots.
Anyone got any suggestions?

If they have been outside recently then the night temperatures here at least
have not been high enough for them to be realy happy, but repotting will
also help but wait until they start into growth. also a good idea at the end
of the season to hard prune at least some of the stems to keep the plants
bushy.
