watering

You should water your Spurge (Euphorbia hypericifolia 'Inneuphe' DIAMOND FROST) once every 10-14 days during the spring and summer, or whenever the soil feels dry to the touch. It is important to water deeply so that the water reaches the root system. During the winter, it is best to water the plant only once every 3-4 weeks, or when the soil appears very dry.

sunlight

Spurge thrives in full sun or partial shade and is moderately drought tolerant. It does best in soil that is lightly to moderately moist. In full sun, Diamond Frost requires about 5 to 6 hours of sunlight each day. In partial shade, it requires about 4 to 5 hours of sunlight each day. The light requirements for Diamond Frost can vary somewhat, depending on the region. In warmer climates or areas with intense sunlight, it may need slightly less sunlight than in cooler climates or areas with less intense sunlight.

pruning

Spurge (Euphorbia hypericifolia 'Inneuphe' DIAMOND FROST) is an evergreen perennial plant with a mounding form and rather lanky stems. Pruning should be done minimally, if at all. If it becomes overgrown or you find some of the stems crossing over each other, spring is the best time to trim them back. Cut back the stems to further promote a thicker healthy plant. Do not cut the entire plant back to the ground, as this will damage the plant. After trimming, fertilize and water, to help the plant regenerate.
