Care Guide
💧 Water Every 1 week
A deep watering every week is usually sufficient, either through rainfall or irrigation. Native varieties that are well established have a moderately good tolerance for drought.
☀️ Light
🌡️ Temperature
Viburnums prefer moderate conditions, though the preferences vary greatly depending on species. Extremely hot weather requires extra watering, and very cold temperatures can stunt the plant or cause dieback.
💨 Humidity
🪴 Soil
🌱 Fertilizer
Most viburnums need little more than one application each year of a balanced, time-release fertilizer mixed into the soil in spring. Once well-established, most shrubs do well without any feeding.
🪴 Pot & Repot
✂️ Pruning
Leggy shoots can be trimmed back in early summer to maintain the shrub's form. Broken, dead, or diseased branches should be removed as soon as you notice them.
