[Arid_gardener] Question from Home-Hort WWW page

[dirk_heintze@agilent.com]

Hello,

I live in Edinburgh, Scotland, and I have a little Oleander bush. I have had this for 4 years - and to date it has never flowered!

It is also very skinny - with only 2 main branches. It sits on the window seal of my flat which is West facing.

I am now wondering what I could do to ensure that come next spring it does flower (for the 1st time). Should I consider pruning it right back - and giving it another chance? If so how should I cut it down. 

I appreciate any help/advise on this matter. Thanks you.

PS: please reply to my email.
