watering
Euscaphis japonica is an evergreen shrub that should be watered frequently. It prefers moist soil and may require more frequent watering during the warmest months of the year. Water on a regular schedule, but make sure not to over water. This species should be watered once or twice a week during its active growing season in the spring and summer, with the frequency and amount of water adjusted depending on weather conditions. During the winter months, reduce the amount of water given and water only when the soil feels dry to the touch.
sunlight
Euscaphis japonica is a plant species that can naturally be found in East Asian forests. This species prefers to be grown in partial to full shade, and they will thrive with a minimum of 4 or more hours of sunlight per day. However, they also require an ideal balance between direct and indirect sunlight, so if you plan to grow this species, be sure to avoid periods of intense and prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause the leaves to scorch. It is best to position your plants so they receive morning light, followed by periods of filtered shade during the hottest part of the day.
pruning
Euscaphis japonica should be pruned lightly once a year during the early spring season. Pruning should involve removing dead or weak branches, or any branches that rub against each other. No more than 1-third of the branches should be removed at a time, and a cutting tool should be wiped down with rubbing alcohol after each cut to avoid spreading disease. Fertilize the plant after pruning with a balanced fertilizer to help the plant re-grow.
