watering

Koreanspice viburnum should be watered every 7 to 10 days with 1 to 1.5 inches of water. It's best to water in the morning so the sun can help the water evaporate from the foliage, reducing the chance of powdery mildew. When watering, make sure that the soil is fully saturated and no water is running off the sides of the pot or tray. Water less frequently in the winter when the plant is dormant.

sunlight

Koreanspice viburnum (Viburnum carlcephalum 'Cayuga') needs 6 to 8 hours of full sun per day for optimum growth. It prefers direct sunlight in the morning and afternoon, as a full day of direct sun can cause the leaves to burn. To ensure the best flowering and fruitset of this plant, provide as much daily sun as possible. Avoid planting in areas where it will get shade in the morning or afternoon – that will reduce blooms and fruit production, and it may weaken the plant in general.

pruning

Koreanspice viburnum (Viburnum carlcephalum 'Cayuga') should be pruned twice a year for optimal growth--in early spring and again in mid-summer. In early spring, prune Koreanspice viburnum by removing any dead or diseased growth first and then shaping and thinning the shrubs to either maintain its desired shape, or to reduce its size. Make sure to cut stems with a few inches of the woody shrub so that you don't damage any of the healthy buds. By late summer, once the primary flowering has completed, you can prune again to remove any unwanted growth from the previous season's growth. Make sure to prune with precision, focusing on the stems rather than the leaves. This will help to maintain the shape of the shrub and encourage larger, more vibrant blooms for the next season. Koreanspice viburnum is a hardy shrub that needs to be pruned regularly for optimal growth and vibrant blooming. Keep pruning in mind twice a year--in early spring and again in mid-summer-- and you will be rewarded with a beautiful and healthy Koreanspice viburnum.
