watering
Wintercreeper euonymus (Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald 'n' Gold') prefers moist, well-drained soils and does best when watered regularly. This plant should be watered deeply but not too often—about once per week during the growing season in spring and summer, and then less frequently in fall and winter. Water the soil until it is moist throughout and allow the top 1-2 inches to dry out before watering again.
sunlight
Wintercreeper euonymus (Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald 'n' Gold') should receive full sun for at least 4-6 hours a day. Any less than 4 hours can cause the plant to lose its unique variegated foliage colors. If possible, place it in a location that receives mid-day shade to prevent sunburn and leaf scorch. For best results, wintercreeper should be planted in a spot that receives morning sun and afternoon shade.
pruning
Wintercreeper euonymus (Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald 'n' Gold') should be pruned in early spring before new growth begins. For established plants, prune down to 1/3 of its previous height and shape. Pruning further back will promote new growth, making it bushier and fuller. Remove any dead or damaged wood and reduce any leggy growth. Light pruning of dead and damaged wood can also be done throughout the growing season. Avoid pruning during late fall and winter, as it can interrupt dormancy and harm the plant.
