Pink Oleander • Beauty: The plant brings soft and charming beauty to the garden with attractive flowers of soft pink color. • Uses: Ideal for gardens, balconies, landscape and border plantings. • Specialties: Blooms for a long time and easily adds a touch of premium elegance to the environment with low maintenance.

**Watering:** Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the top few inches of soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. **Lighting:** Requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal flowering and vigor. **Pruning:** Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage new growth, avoiding heavy pruning which can stress the plant.

### Potting & Planting Instructions for Pink Oleander 1. **Container Selection**: Choose a terracotta, ceramic, or nursery pot with generous drainage holes at the base. 2. **Soil Mix Recipe**: Use Well-draining garden soil enriched with 30% organic vermicompost. Adding a layer of coarse gravel or leca at the bottom enhances oxygenation. 3. **Planting Depth**: Position the plant at the exact same root collar depth as in its nursery container. Avoid burying stems too deep. 4. **Initial Settling**: After potting, water thoroughly until water drains freely, then place in bright indirect light for 3–5 days to acclimatize before moving to full sun.

Harvest mature stems/leaves as needed using clean sterilized pruning shears.

Pairs wonderfully with drought-tolerant companion plants and complementary flowering plants varieties.
