Symphoricarpos rotundifolius is a North American subshrub in the honeysuckle family, also known by the common name round-leaved snowberry.

Care Guide

💧 Water
☀️ Light Partial sun

Coralberry does best in a spot that gets sun for only a portion of the day, though it can tolerate places that are exposed to full sun all day or are largely shaded. Uneven sun exposure can impair its growth, reduce berry production, and harm its foliage.

Ideal: Partial sun
🌡️ Temperature 5–35°C

The coralberry plant originates from temperate regions and thrives in average temperatures of 41 to 95 ℉ (5 to 35 ℃). In winter it can withstand lows of 23 to 32 ℉ (-5 to 0 ℃), and in summer it tolerates highs of 86 to 95 ℉ (30 to 35 ℃). To cope with seasonal temperature changes, it is best grown in well-draining soil with moderate watering.

Ideal temperature: 5–35°C

🌱 Fertilizer

To encourage healthy growth, fertilize your Coralberry in early spring. Routine fertilization improves its overall health, leading to vigorous growth, greater tolerance of challenging conditions, and enhanced resistance to diseases and pests. Follow a specific fertilization schedule for your Coralberry to maintain foliage that is vivid in color and has a full, lush appearance.
