Oleander is a robust and ornamental plant known for its resilience and ability to thrive with minimal fuss. Key care needs include placing the plant in full sun and ensuring well-drained soil to prevent root rot. A special care point is the plant's toxicity; all parts are poisonous if ingested, requiring careful handling and placement away from pets and children. Oleander tolerates drought well, reducing the need for frequent watering, which contributes to its overall low maintenance.

Watering: Water deeply when soil is dry, drought-tolerant once establishedSunlight: Full sunTOXIC if eaten, smoke from burning is harming. Wear gloves and other protective equipment when handling]
