watering

Water Spurge (Euphorbia 'Blue Haze') when the soil feels barely moist to the touch. Aim to keep the soil moist but not soggy. How much to water will depend on the season, soil, size of plant, exposure to sunlight and heat, humidity, and other growing conditions. In the spring and summer, check the soil weekly and water if necessary. During the winter and fall months, check your plants twice a month. Give your Spurge about an inch of water, using a garden hose or watering can. Water the soil at the base of the plant, instead of spraying the foliage.

sunlight

Spurge (Euphorbia 'Blue Haze') requires full sun to partial shade for optimal growth and flowering. For full sun, the plant should receive at least 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. If the plant is given partial shade, it should receive at least 4 hours of direct sunlight each day. In the summer months, this plant should be placed in a spot where it will receive afternoon shade to help protect it from the strong afternoon sun and temperatures. In the winter months, this plant should be placed in an area that receives maximum sunlight, since it is a cool season plant.

pruning

Spurge (Euphorbia 'Blue Haze') should be pruned lightly in early spring before new growth begins. Cut off any dead or damaged stems and remove any straggly, unproductive branches. Prune no more than 20-30% of the total branches of the plant, as pruning too much can lead to an increase in branching and overcrowding. After pruning, it is important to fertilize the plant and provide adequate water.
