My oleander has started to flower but one of my plants has developed quite a few yellow leaves, i was thinking this may be too much water as i cant find any insects/ bugs on the plant?

Perhaps its too much water or it could be lack of nitrogen. Try 'growmore' or similar and sprinkle around. Let me know how you get on.

Hi Steve, they tend to like a balanced fertiliser up until end of June and then you should switch to a high potassium one. I think its unlikely to be over watering unless you're drenching it everyday then of course hold back a bit! I really like these but never been successful at keeping mine alive over Winter as have been killed off bu frost. Best grown in a pot so you can over winter somewhere warmer that doesnt get below 2 degrees if you don't already! Hope this helps

Thanks justin, i tend to just wrap mine as my garden is pretty sheltered but this is the first year theyve all shown signs of really blooming
