Watering is the most important factor in keeping your plant looking beautiful. Do not allow the plant to sit in water or to go completely dry. Maintaining evenly moist soil is crucial. Use of softened water should be avoided as the salts can damage your plant.

Euonymus prefers to be outdoors in full or partial sun. This plant was grown in partial shade so must be slowly acclimated to full sun if desired. You may plant it into the ground as long as there is no fear of prolonged freezing. If you prefer to keep your plant indoors, rotate it outdoors as often as possible to keep it looking healthy, although it will do quite well indoors for several months or more. Dry air-conditioned or heated air may harm the plant.

Fertilization of your plant may be needed once or twice a year. To keep the leaves looking healthy, periodically rinse the leaves with soapy water to remove debris and keep pests away. To maintain the shape of your plant, new growth may be trimmed.

Your plant will need to be repotted every year or two to keep it from becoming root-bound. Remove the plant from its pot and gently loosen the root ball. Plant it in a container at least 1" to 2" larger. Add additional soil to fill in the space. Water immediately and maintain the moistness until the plant has taken root in the new space.
