Oleander Care- Potted Plant

Question

sister-in-law was taing care of my plant while away- it now looks like this – no idea what she did – almost as if she tried prunning -is there anything i should do or can do?- it was dropping drastically so i held up the stems by dowels

Answer 1

Hard to say without seeing the symptoms progressing to that. Too much or too little water can cause leaf drop in oleanders. Water deeply but let it get a little dry in between waterings. Keeping the soil damp or soggy at all times could cause leaf loss. Also look for honeydew and sooty mold in leaves infected by pests such as aphids.
