Oleander

Die Giftigkeit des Oleanders machte man sich bereits in der Antike zunutze: Man verstopfte die Wühlmauslöcher mit Oleanderblättern. Wenn sich die Mäuse durchfraßen, verendeten sie.

Die Winterhärte des Oleanders beträgt kurzzeitige -5°.

Aus diesem Grund wird er in Mitteleuropa meistens als Kübelpflanze überwintert. Dazu sollte sein idealer Winterstandort hell sein, +5° bis +10° betragen und keine zu trockene Luft aufweisen. Er wird sonst gerne von Blatt-, Schild- und Wollläusen befallen.

Achten Sie bitte auch darauf, dass der Oleander beim Einräumen gesunde grüne Blätter hat. Sollten sich braune Flecken bemerkbar machen, schneiden Sie diese Zweigstücke ab und behandeln bitte die ganze Pflanze gleich mit einem Pilzmittel / Fungizid. Die gekürzten Zweige werden im kommenden Jahr wahrscheinlich nicht blühen, aber im Jahr darauf.

Special Features: Not North American native, All or parts of this plant are poisonous, Fragrant flowers, Blooms are very showy. In garden design, as well as the above-ground architecture of a plant, root structure considerations help in choosing plants that work together for their optimal soil requirements including nutrients and water. The root pattern is branching: a heart root, dividing from the crown into several primary roots going down and out [2-1].

Dye Hedge Hedge Insecticide Latex Parasiticide Soil stabilization The plant is used as a rat poison, a parasiticide and an insecticide. The pounded leaves and bark are used as an insecticide. A green dye is obtained from the flowers. The plant is commonly used for informal hedging in the Mediterranean, though it is too tender for this use in Britain[K]. The leaves contain small amounts of latex that can be used to make rubber, though the amount is too small for commercial utilization[K]. The plants have an extensive root system and are often used to stabilize soil in warmer areas.
