I have 2 oleanders that won't flower. Growing well, give lots of water, I live in Houston, what do I do?

Have you been pruning them back? Oleander bloom on new growth, so cutting them back will prevent bloom. Are they growing in heavy shade by chance?





In central valley of northern California, they often grow in freeway medians with little or no care, so I doubt that water or fertelizer are the issues

don't give so much water, only water once a week, if there has been no rain, be patient, good things come to those who wait!
Reply:try not watering it quite so much ,if some plants think they are dying they will produce flowers.
Reply:Nerium oleander should be cut back immediately after blooming. I mistakenly pruned one during the winter and... no flowers the following spring. The other four in the row all bloomed. Oleander should, of course, be planted in full sun.
Reply:fertilize? go to a local garden shop and ask about it.
