Fertilize: For siebold's spurge, apply a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during spring and summer, using half the recommended dose to avoid root burn. Reduce feeding in fall and winter. Always water after fertilizing and wear gloves due to irritating sap. This regimen supports robust growth and aesthetics.

Pruning: Siebold's spurge is a hardy perennial with lush green leaves and clustered flowers. Prune in early to late spring to promote growth and shape, removing damaged stems and spent flowers. This practice improves air circulation and reduces fungal risk. Use clean, sharp tools and avoid late-season pruning.

Propagation: Siebold's spurge is a resilient perennial with unique foliage. To propagate, take healthy stem cuttings, place them in well-draining soil, and keep consistently moist without overwatering. A warm, non-humid environment aids root growth. Once established, transfer to individual pots and acclimatize to normal conditions.
