Guest guest Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Oleander is not a vegetable like a tomato plant or lettuce that you can plant from seed and harvest much of only months later. I would say you are looking at a couple of years time to have plants of any size, since oleander is a moderately fast grower that will grow up to or so a couple of feet per year, depending upon soil, climate, etc. Your best bet would be to buy plants in 5 gallon containers from an organic nursery like Rhodes Nursery listed in my book. Buy enough of those and you can harvest some right away and leave enough growth for the plants to continue to grow and flourish. You will ultimately need some pretty sizable pots to grow oleander in containers. www.beorganic.com/ oleander soup , " boystyle " <boystyle wrote: > > Hello, > > I just received a pack of 20 today, and I planted 8 of them in a big > jar, should it be enough? > > Do they grow fast?

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Another question, lets say I make the soup.. can i take 1/10 of that liquid and mix it with aloe cream? I want to remove couple of moles.. and the rest 9/10 of the mixture I will mix with alcohol and drink..would that be good or is it really necessary to condense the liquid to make the cream? I dont feel like doing it 2 times hehe oleander soup , " boystyle " <boystyle wrote: > > So you dont think I will have a small plant within a month or two that > I could make some soup? a few months supply soup?

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Does Canada bar nursery plant from the US? Rhodes ships their plants for a nominal fee. oleander soup , " boystyle " <boystyle wrote: > > So you dont think I will have a small plant within a month or two that > I could make some soup? a few months supply soup?
