Pruning techniques 
Propagation
Spring,Summer
Oleander 'Petite Pink' is most effectively propagated through cuttings. To achieve successful propagation, one should select healthy semi-hardwood stems and prepare them by making a clean cut below a leaf node. Removing the lower leaves and applying a rooting hormone can encourage root development. Ensure the cuttings are planted in a well-draining medium, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. With proper care, these cuttings can root, leading to new growth.
Propagation Techniques Branch withering
