Koreanspice viburnum

Koreanspice viburnum (Viburnum carlesii) should be watered 2 to 3 times per week, sufficient to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Be sure to check the soil moisture regularly to avoid overwatering – if the top inch of soil is dry, the plant needs water. Water the plant until liquid runs out of the base of the pot. To ensure the plant receives adequate moisture in the summer months, consider using soil with high organic matter or placing mulch around the plant. Reduce watering to once per week in the winter months, when the plant is dormant and does not require as much moisture.

Koreanspice viburnum (Viburnum carlesii) requires at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily in order to thrive. However, too much direct sunlight can cause the leaves to become sun damaged, so it should be planted in a spot that receives morning sun and afternoon shade. In warmer climates, it will benefit from some afternoon shade to protect it during the hottest part of the day.

Koreanspice viburnum should be pruned to keep a neat, attractive shape. When pruning Koreanspice viburnum, it's important to do it at the right time. Generally, light pruning should be done after flowering and more extensive pruning should be done in early spring, just before new growth begins. Pruning should be kept minimal, as Koreanspice viburnum looks best when left in its natural, rather unkempt shape. Pruning may be done lightly by removing any crossing, dead, diseased or broken branches year round. Heavy pruning should be done with care since it can be stressful to the plant and slow the rate of flowering. When pruning, make sure to cut right to the branch collar or point of origin to reduce stress. Koreanspice viburnum is a low-maintenance plant, so you don't need to prune too much or too often.
