Euonymus Japonicus - Japanese Spindle

Euonymus japonicus, commonly known as Japanese spindle or spindle tree, is an evergreen shrub native to Japan, China, and Korea. It is prized for its glossy, dark green leaves and tolerance to a wide range of growing conditions.

To care for Euonymus japonicus, follow these tips:

• Plant the shrub in well-draining soil in an area that receives partial sun.
• Water the plant regularly, especially during hot and dry periods, but avoid overwatering or allowing the soil to become waterlogged.
• Prune the plant to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged branches.
• Fertilize the plant in the spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy growth.
• Watch for signs of pests, such as scale or spider mites, and treat them promptly to prevent them from spreading to other plants.
• Euonymus japonicus is relatively tolerant of drought and poor soil conditions, but it may benefit from occasional deep watering and the addition of organic matter to the soil.
• If grown in a container, ensure that the pot has adequate drainage holes and use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix.
