Oleander blooms well into autumn
The oleander blooms tirelessly from early summer to autumn. Its mostly red, white, pink or yellow flowers appear between June and September; and the more luxuriant it is, the better the oleander is cared for. As a heavy consumer, the plant needs a lot of nutrients, especially during the flowering period, and should therefore be supplied with a good flowering plant fertilizer once or twice a week. A sufficient water supply is also important for abundant flowering, because the oleander needs a lot of the precious water.

Do not cut off what has faded
With many flowering plants it makes sense to remove dead shoots and thus stimulate the formation of new flowers, but not with oleanders. Here the plants of the new flowers to come sit at the top of the old, used ones - which is why you would deprive yourself of a new flower if you cut away what has faded. Instead, leave the old flowers on the bush, they will dry up after a while and fall off by themselves.
Tips
If the oleander does not want to bloom, it could be because of its location: Oleanders like it warm, sunny and sheltered from the wind. If it is too cold for them, the flower will fail. After clearing out the winter quarters, stimulate flower formation by watering the oleander with lukewarm water.
