15- 20 leaves. Oleander has historically been considered a poisonous plant because some of its compounds may exhibit toxicity, especially to animals, when consumed in large amounts. Among these compounds are oleandrin and oleandri genin, known as cardiac glycosides, which are known to have a narrow therapeutic index and can be toxic when ingested.
