Thevetia Peruviana | Cascabela Thevetia- Shrub

Thevetia peruviana, commonly known as yellow oleander or lucky nut is an evergreen shrub or small tree native to Central and South America. It’s known for its striking yellow, white or occasionally apricot-colored flowers that resemble those of oleanders. The plant belongs to the Apocynaceae family and thrives in warm climates. The Cascabela is cultivated for ornamental purposes due to its attractive flowers, glossy foliage and ability to tolerate various soil conditions. However, it’s important to note that all parts of the plant, especially the seeds, contain toxic cardiac glycosides, which can be extremely harmful if ingested. It’s considered highly poisonous to humans and animals, so caution should be exercised around it.

Care Tips for Thevetia Peruviana:

It thrives in full sunlight, so ensure it gets at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Well-draining soil is essential for the plant’s health. A mix of sandy and loamy soil works best. While it’s tolerant of drought conditions, regular watering is necessary, especially during the growing season and ensure the soil doesn’t become waterlogged, as it can lead to root rot. Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season (spring through summer) to promote healthy growth and flowering.

Prune to shape the plant and remove dead or damaged branch to encourage new growth and better flowering. Yellow oleander prefers warm climates and can be sensitive to frost. Protect it from extreme cold temperatures. Generally, it is not prone to severe pest or disease issues. However, watch for common pests like aphids, spider mites or scale insect.
