EUONYMUS CONE

Light: ☀️ Prefers full sun to partial shade. It grows best with at least 4–6 hours of sunlight daily but can tolerate some shade.

Water: 💧 Water regularly, especially during the first year. Once established, it becomes drought-tolerant. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.

Soil: 🌱 Grows well in well-draining soil. It can adapt to various soil types, including sandy, loamy, or clay, as long as drainage is good.

Temperature: 🌡️ Hardy in USDA zones 6–9. Tolerates a wide range of temperatures, from mild winters to hot summers.

Humidity: 💦 Tolerates average humidity and dry air. No extra misting needed unless conditions are extremely dry.

Fertilizer: 🌼 Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth. Light feeding again in mid-summer can promote fullness.

Pruning: ✂️ Prune regularly to maintain the cone shape. Best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Trim lightly throughout the growing season to keep a neat appearance.

Growth Habit: 🌿 A dense, evergreen shrub with small, leathery leaves that stay green year-round. Often shaped into cones, spheres, or spirals for a formal garden look. Typically reaches 4–6 feet tall when pruned and maintained.
