How and when can I propagate Oleander?

Our Advice:

They can be propagated by semi-ripe cuttings 10-15cm long taken in late-summer or early-autumn. The base of the cutting should be hard, while the tip is still soft. Dip the base in rooting powder and insert them into a cuttings compost. Water well before covering them. Avoid getting the sap on your skin - It may cause blistering.
