Watering a Euonymus fortunei 'Harlequin'

Rainwater can be used to hydrate the plant, which is both eco-friendly and beneficial. Ensure excess water can drain away to prevent root rot, whether the plant is in the ground or a pot. Drip irrigation systems are effective once the plant is well-rooted, but initial watering should be done manually.

Fertilising a Euonymus fortunei 'Harlequin'

Consider using Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer in spring and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer in summer. Apply fertiliser twice a year, adjusting the amount based on plant size. Ensure nutrients reach the roots by watering the garden during dry spells. This helps the fertiliser dissolve into the soil, making it accessible to the plant's roots.
