watering
Water Korean Spice Viburnum (Viburnum carlesii 'Diana') weekly, giving it 1 to 2 inches of water. Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Water your plants during the evening or early morning hours so that the foliage can dry off before nightfall—this will prevent fungal diseases. Additionally, water your plants at their base to minimize splashback, which can spread disease to other areas of the garden. During periods of intense heat, you may need to water your plants more frequently.
sunlight
Koreanspice viburnum (Viburnum carlesii 'Diana') thrives in full sun, meaning it should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. If possible, it should receive 8 hours of direct sunlight or more. Since direct sunlight can be intense in the summer months, especially in the afternoon, it is recommended to plant it where it can access some morning shade but still have enough light to stay healthy.
pruning
Koreanspice viburnum (Viburnum carlesii 'Diana') should be pruned in early spring, before new growth begins. Pruning should be light and kept to a minimum. Remove any dead, diseased, damaged, or crossing branches, and thin out any overcrowded or overgrown canes. Remove no more than 1-third of the plant's total growth each year. To comepletely rejuvenate, entire plants may be cut back close to the ground. Rejuvenation pruning should be done no more than once every 3 years.
