bog spurge

For best results, water your bog spurge consistently to keep the soil lightly moist. This means watering once or twice a week in cooler months, or up to every other day during warmer months. Water the soil surface until it is evenly moist throughout. Allow the top half-inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Make sure to avoid over-watering bog spurge as this can severely damage its roots and cause unnecessary stress.

Bog spurge (Euphorbia palustris) is a marsh-loving perennial flower that prefers full sun. It does very well in an area where it receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day and can even tolerate more sun than that. This species is also known to tolerate some shade, as long as it still gets at least 4 hours of direct sunlight every day. Bog spurge is a hardy plant that can survive under a wide range of conditions and will thrive in areas with sunny and moist soil.

Bog spurge (Euphorbia palustris) should be pruned in late winter to early spring before the plant begins to produce new growth. Pruning removes dead, dying and diseased stems and branches and encourages new growth. Bog spurge should be pruned back by no more than one third of the total stems and branches. It is important to use sharp pruning shears or a pruning saw to ensure a clean cut. After pruning, it is a good idea to apply a general-purpose fertilizer to help the plant recover quickly and encourage new growth.
