watering
Water the Martin’s spurge (Euphorbia martini 'Waleutiny' TINY TIM) when the soil feels dry to the touch, about once every 7-10 days. It is important to check the soil every few days since it should not become too dry. Water the plant deeply, making sure to drench the entire root system and until water seeps out the drainage holes on the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering this plant, as it can lead to root rot.
sunlight
Martin's spurge (Euphorbia martini 'Waleutiny' TINY TIM) prefers full to partial sun. This plant species should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day, and may even tolerate up to 8 hours of mind, indirect sunlight per day. Too little sunlight may cause the plant to become leggy or potentially fail to flower. If the sun is too intense, foliage may become scorched and the plant will start to wilt. It is important to provide Martin's spurge with 2 to 3 hours of direct sunlight every morning and 2 to 3 hours in the evenings for healthy growth and flowering.
pruning
Pruning for Martin's spurge (Euphorbia martini 'Waleutiny' TINY TIM) should be done twice a year, in the spring and in the fall. In springtime, cut the plant back to about 6 inches from the ground, leaving more shoots at the base of the plant. This encourages new growth with fresh new leaves and flowers. In the fall, prune any damaged or overgrown parts of the plant. If the plant is particularly large, you can cut it back to a smaller size to keep it neat. Pruning should be done carefully with a sharp pair of gardening shears or a pruning saw. Removing any dead leaves and flower heads on the plant also helps it to stay healthy and promote new growth.
