An oleander plant is a hardy, evergreen shrub that can grow between 4 to 12 feet tall. It features long, narrow, lance-shaped leaves that are typically dark green and can be glossy. The plant produces clusters of fragrant, trumpet-shaped flowers in various colors, including pink, white, yellow, and red, blooming mainly in the summer. Oleander is often used in landscaping for its ornamental appeal and drought resistance.
The leaf of an oleander plant is adapted to hot and dry environments through several key features. Its narrow, lanceolate shape minimizes surface area, reducing water loss through transpiration. Additionally, the leaves have a thick, waxy cuticle that helps retain moisture, while sunken stomata further limit water evaporation. These adaptations enable the oleander to thrive in arid conditions by conserving water efficiently.

Oleander plants can be identified by their long, narrow leaves that are dark green and glossy. They also have showy clusters of pink, red, or white flowers. However, it's important to note that all parts of the oleander plant are toxic if ingested.

Oleander is the name of one of many poisonous shrubs.Specifically, oleander (Nerum oleander) can be a convenient choice for cultivators, gardeners, and landscapers. It grows in alkaline and poor soils. It has attractive parts and structure. It is drought- and salt-tolerant.But all parts of an oleander shrub are poisonous. No amount of drying or processing changes that fact. Ingesting -- for example, chewing or saving foliage and twigs -- may dilate pupils, provoke diarrhea and nauseousness, and slow pulses. Additionally, burning any of the plant's parts will release toxic fumes.

Most leaves are biodegradable. However, eucalyptus leaves do not decompose. Oleander leaves take a look time to degrade and can cause toxicity to the soil
Your jade plant may be dropping leaves due to overwatering, underwatering, lack of sunlight, or sudden changes in temperature. Check the soil moisture, ensure proper drainage, place the plant in a sunny spot, and avoid drastic temperature fluctuations to help your jade plant thrive.
To prevent leaves from dropping in your garden, you can regularly rake and remove fallen leaves, prune trees and shrubs to reduce leaf litter, and consider using a leaf blower or mulching mower to manage leaves more effectively.
