About soil condition, the euonymus green rocket does best in average to moist, well-drained soils, but it tolerates a wide range of conditions including dry soils and occasional flooding. It also adapts to a variety of soil types including sandy, loamy, and clay soils.
So, like the other plants, euonymus green rocket needs sun to grow. However, it doesn't need as much sun as some other plants. It can grow in partial shade, which means it doesn't need direct sun for most of the day. This makes it a good plant for people who don't have a lot of sun in their yard.
The temperature condition that is best for Euonymus Green Rocket is one that is cool. They can tolerate some shade, but too much shade will make them leggy. If you live in an area that gets hot summers, it is best to plant them in an area that gets some afternoon shade.
Ideal humidity condition for this plant is between 40-60%. If the humidity is too low, the leaves will start to turn brown and curl up. If the humidity is too high, the leaves will start to yellow and drop off.
About fertilizer, this kind of plant prefers light fertilizers such as fish emulsion or diluted seaweed solutions applied every other week during the growing season. Over fertilization, particularly with high-nitrogen fertilizers, will result in excessive leaf growth at the expense of flower production.Root systems of Euonymus are generally shallow and fibrous, so they benefit from a mulch to help retain moisture and control weeds. A layer of organic mulch also helps to moderate soil temperature fluctuations.
Pruning euonymus green rocket is important to maintain its compact, bushy habit and to encourage new growth. It is best to prune in early spring, before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged stems, as well as any that are growing out of bounds. Cut back the remaining stems by one-third to one-half their length.
Propagation is best accomplished by rooting softwood cuttings taken from the plant in late spring. Take cuttings from new growth that is 6 to 8 inches long and remove the lower leaves. Dip the cut end of the stem in rooting hormone and plant in a well-drained potting mix. Water well and place in a bright location but out of direct sunlight. New roots should form in four to six weeks. Once the plant is rooted,care for it as you would a mature plant.
Usually, the plant growth rate is determined by the environment in which they are grown. However, if all environmental factors are ideal for growth, euonymus green rocket will typically grow at a moderate to rapid rate. If you are looking to achieve rapid growth with your euonymus green rocket, fertilization and proper watering are key.
Common problems for this kind of plant are powdery mildew, scale, and root rot. Powdery mildew is a white orgrayish powdery growth that appears on the leaves and stems of the plant. Scale is a small, hard, brown or black insect thatfeeds on the sap of the plant. Root rot is a condition caused by too much moisture in the soil. It can be caused by over watering,poor drainage, or compacted soil.
