Planting young plants

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

Plant young plants in early spring. Euonymus is a tough plant and will thrive in any well-drained border in sun or partial shade although the variegated varieties do better with more sun.

 

Propagating by cuttings

From Mid Spring TO Early Summer

Stem tip cuttings are taken in the spring/early summer from this years growth. Cleanly cut just below a leaf joint, up to a 10cm tip, remove lower leaves and pinch out the tip, dip into hormone compound and place them around the edge of a pot filled with cutting compost., water well. Place a plastic bag over the pot to give humidity, the bag must be removed a couple of times a week to ventilate, put the pot in a light spot but avoid direct sunlight.
