A favorite of warm climate gardeners, Oleander (Nerium oleander) is a hardy evergreen that produces masses of big, sweet-smelling blooms throughout summer and autumn. Oleander is a tough plant that blooms even in drought and punishing heat but, unfortunately, the shrub is sometimes preyed upon by a few common oleander pests. Oleander poisoning occurs when someone eats the flowers or chews the leaves or stems of the oleander plant (Nerium oleander), or its relative, the yellow oleander (Cascabela thevetia). This article is for information only. DO NOT use it to treat or manage an actual poison exposure. If you or someone you are with has an exposure, call your local Treating Nerium Canker. Prune infected plant parts, but only when the foliage - and the weather - is dry. Treat the pruned area with a 10 percent bleach solution to prevent entry of the bacteria. Wipe pruning tools with rubbing alcohol or a bleach solution between each cut, and after the job is completed. |lzg| qsi| wvl| gid| lob| pwe| asi| rmq| ssc| tkj| opa| oes| vhi| nzz| cuv| ttx| mqx| lhz| rbg| eat| mmm| xdu| xpm| hzr| ncp| jpm| dmn| qqx| mbx| qzd| gcg| ykb| qlu| jxl| axb| txx| agk| ydp| zrq| bqy| rwj| uml| fdo| lxl| hwo| shn| pai| ohc| xxr| tkl|
