I have an oleander in a 40cm pot. It flowers profusely every year. I prune it to size, but I couldn't cope with the annual move to the garage if it got any heavier.
The original soil was JINo3, but that is now a distant memory. It is impossible to find any soil to remove on the surface, just rootlets. It gets the odd water with commercial general pupose fertiliser, but I mean odd.
I have a spare from a cutting in a 25cm pot. But has hasn't been needed yet.
location: Surrey Hills, England, ex-woodland acidic sand. "Have nothing in your garden that you don't know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."

The other approach would be à la bonzai. BUt it sounds like you've passed that stage.
