Propagating Oleander in water

Materials, steps, and tips on how to successfully propagate oleanders with advice from Hubert the gardener. To successfully propagate oleander cuttings, it is crucial to choose the right stem tip for multiplication. If you take a stem that is too long, the cutting will struggle to develop. Select a young shoot with closely spaced nodes and without flowers for best results. You will need: A glass of water A piece of charcoal (to purify the water) Plastic wrap How to propagate in a glass of water: 1. Fill the glass halfway with water. 2. Place the piece of charcoal in the water. 3. Cover the glass with plastic wrap. Preparing the cutting: 1. Cut off the tip of a young oleander stem. 2. Remove the lower leaves without tearing the stem. 3. Cut just below a node. 4. Trim the tips of the remaining leaves, keeping only half their length. Positioning the cutting: 1. Make a small hole in the plastic wrap. 2. Slide the tip of the cutting through the hole. 3. Insert it until the tip is slightly submerged in the water. Expose the cuttings to sunlight and warmth. Expect several weeks for the first roots to appear. --- By consistently following these steps, you can ensure that your oleander cuttings will develop robust roots and eventually grow into healthy plants. The usage of charcoal helps maintain water quality, preventing the growth of unwanted bacteria that might hinder root development. Positioning the cuttings in a sunny and warm environment accelerates the rooting process, fostering a better growth environment. These meticulous steps, when accurately followed, significantly increase the odds of successfully propagating oleanders in water. With patience and proper care, gardeners will soon see vibrant new roots sprouting, signaling a successful propagation effort. Keep an eye on water levels and replace it if it becomes cloudy to provide an optimal growth environment.
