Watering question
I have a one year old Oleander, about 1 metre and a half high in a
huge pot. It is flowering right now. How often do I need to water it. Sacha has seen the size of the urn/pot as as she is more au fait with stuff can probably explain better than I. Help please? Judith |

Judith You do know that it is an extremely toxic plant? -- Pete C London UK I'm not going to eat it sweetie!!!!! Wot bout watering then????? When my son was born, we were given a brochure listing common house and garden plants that might poison small children. It's amazing any child survives childhood. More plants are poisonous than are not. Sometimes I think that applies to children too...... ;-)) The only plant Ray will not sell is rue. It rained last night. Now it is stifling hot, windless and a 100% humidity AND sunny. 22C here ATM. On the beach it is 20C and misty. http://www.noordwijk.info/noordwijk/...ms/livecam.asp Very hot beautiful day here. We had the most extraordinary sky last night but it lasted for mere minutes. There was a lot of that ruffled, fluffy cloud and it was shot through with every shade of pink. I've never seen anything quite so vivid round here. But by the time we walked to the other end of the car park it had disappeared entirely. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |

Seems to be based on an urban myth http://www.snopes.com/holidays/christmas/poinsettia.asp I've had poinsettias in the house every Christmas for more than 35 years and my eldest is now 32! Why people persist in spreading these myths, heaven knows. snip -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |

Judith You do know that it is an extremely toxic plant? -- Pete C London UK I'm not going to eat it sweetie!!!!! Wot bout watering then????? Judith I'd say 'drench and drain well in really hot weather', Judith. Basically, keep an eye on it but while I've never grown it in your conditions, I think you need to find a balance between drowning it and letting it dry right out to the point of wilting. It grows in the meridian of roads in e.g. Greece and must be about as harshly treated as possible in such locations. But pot culture is different so I think a good drink but good drainage is the way to go. On cooler, cloudier days, leave it alone. This isn't geared to your sort of climate but might help http://www.oleander.org/culture.html -- Sachahttp://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon Thanks Sacha, it looks superb, I will try and post a pic, you will remember that I posted one last year when it was given to me by the villagers as a welcome gift when I came here to live full time.

Deja vu, I'm sure I just heard my Father's voice saying that lol and the old guy I worked with at the time we had our first child who told me "my kids are 40 and the problems get worse every year". I'm reaching the point where I would rather not know about their latest problems. -- Martin That makes two of us, we bring up our children to be independent adults, we let them go, I cried when both of our went to University. Now if the phone goes late evening I think please don't let it be another problem. It's not that they always bring their problems big or small to us, it's just that if I have a problem, I wouldn't have worried my late Father with it, I would deal with it myself. Judith |
