oleander rescue


Question
Hello,  I live in Brooklyn, NY and had a beautiful potted Oleander in a large pot
on my rooftop through fall.  I brought it inside for the winter and it survived and
even bloomed at the beginning of the year.  Since then, it has lost all of its
leaves and I have pruned all branches down to virtual stumps.  There are 2 new
shoots growing from the bottom of the planbt - is there hope??  What can I do in
encouragement?  I have it back on the roof in virtually full sun.  Thank you!

Answer
Kirstin,

There is a ray of hope for your Oleander. The new growth is very encouraging. I would recommend putting down some granular organic fertilizer to speed up the recovery process. Keep it well watered and give it plenty of sun.

Good luck,
Ed Gulliksen
