watering

It is best to water Martin's Spurge (Euphorbia martini 'Inneuphhel' HELENA'S BLUSH) once a week, providing about 1 inch of water. This should be enough to keep the plant moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between watering. During especially hot and dry periods, an extra 1 inch of water may be needed. As with all plants, check the soil before watering to make sure it needs it. If the soil is still damp they may not need to be watered.

sunlight

Martin’s spurge (Euphorbia martini 'Inneuphhel' HELENA'S BLUSH) prefers a sunny spot although it can tolerate some shade. It is best suited to a warm, south-facing position protected from strong winds. An ideal location for Martin’s spurge would be receiving up to 8 hours of direct sunlight a day, ideally in the morning hours. It is important to note that giving this plant too much direct sunlight, especially in the summer months, can cause sun scorch on the foliage. For optimal growth and blooming, it is important to monitor its daily sunlight exposure and not let it get too much direct sunlight in a single day.

pruning

Martin's spurge should be lightly pruned in late winter/early spring (February/March). This plant should only be pruned to maintain its desired size and shape, as it does not require heavy pruning. Care should be taken not to cut back too severely as it may weaken the plant, leaving it susceptible to disease and insect attack. When pruning, it is best to remove only the dead and any congested or crossed branches. Pruning should always be done with sharp and clean tools to help minimize stress and the risk of disease to the plant.
