Oleander - Leandru

Dani a cumparat 3 arbusti Leandru si i-am plantat in noul nostru spatiu floral din fata casei, alaturi de 3 muscate.

Dani bought 3 Oleander shrubs and we planted in our new bed flower in front of the house, together with 3 Geraniums.


Dupa cum am spus, Leandrul este un arbust decorativ, iubitor de caldura si soare, care provine din zonele mediteraneene.

As I said, Oleander is an ornamental shrub, loves the sun and warmth, native from mediteranean countries.


Florile sunt de diferite culori, de la alb, roz, galben deschis, portocaliu, rosu sau vargate si miros extrem de placut. Daca este tinut in soare si udat din abundenta, Leandrul poate inflori din aprilie-mai pana in octombrie.

The flowers have different colours, starting with white, pink, bright yellow, orange, red or striped and have a nice perfume. If you are keeping it in the sun and you are giving it a lot of water, Oleander can bloom from April-May until October.


E un arbust inalt, in ghivece poate atinge un metru si jumatate, in gradina poate sa depaseasca 2,5 metri, iar in habitatul natural (Italia, Grecia) ajunge foarte usor la 8-10 metri.

It is a tall shrub, in pots can reach 1,5 m., in the garden can be over 2,5 m., and in natural environment (Italy, Greece) can reach easily 8-10 m.


Nu suporta temperaturi sub 0 grade, chiar daca rezista la vant si ploi. Va sfatuiesc sa il mutati toamna tarziu in casa, iar primavara sa il scoateti in curte. Mare atentie cand il manevrati, pentru ca seva este toxica si va poate cauza iritatii ale pielii.

Oleander hates below zero temperatures, even if it is resistant to wind and rain. I will adivse you to move it in the house late autumn, and in the spring to take it outside in the garden. Pay attention when you move it, because the sap is toxic and can cause you skin irritation.


Nu este atacat, in general, de boli sau daunatori, pentru ca este foarte rezistent, de aceea este usor de intretinut. Daca este atacat, cel mai comun tratament este zeama bordeleza. Pentru un aspect mediteranean al gradinii voastre sau pentru un aer parfumat delicat pe balcon, va recomand sa "adoptati" un Leandru.

The diseases and bugs are attacking it very rare and you can easily care the Oleander. The common treatment is Zethanil Blue. For a mediteranean aspect of your garden or for a delicate perfume in the balcony, I recommend you to "adopt" an Oleander.
