About Nerium / Oleander (Pink Single)
Nerium oleander - also known as Kaner, Ganneru, or Karavira - is an evergreen, perennial flowering shrub to medium-sized tree, and one of the most familiar flowering plants in Indian homes. This single-flowered pink variety produces fragrant, 5-lobed blooms 2.5-5 cm across in clusters at the branch tips.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: More than 6 hours of direct sunlight for the best blooming.
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content.
- Water: When the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry; water morning or evening.
Planting & Placement
Grows well in a medium pot, though ground planting is best long-term - it can reach 2-6 metres. Suits hedges, borders, screening, and road medians, where it also tolerates vehicle pollution well. Keep at least 1 metre between plants when used for screening.
Care
- Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once a month, watered in immediately after application.
- Pruning: Regular light pruning keeps the shrub bushy and compact; always wear gloves due to the plant's toxicity (see caution below).
Flowering
Blooms year-round, attracting butterflies and birds, and is a popular choice for pooja and prayer offerings.
Note: This listing ships a young nursery plant. Growth and bloom timing vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline. CAUTION - EXTREMELY TOXIC: All parts of this plant, including the sap, are poisonous to humans and pets and can be fatal if ingested. Handle with gloves; keep away from children and pets; never burn the plant material, as the smoke is also toxic.

Is it good for a pooja garden?
Yes, Nerium is traditionally used for pooja and prayer offerings, though the toxicity caution still applies to handling and placement.
