watering
Tea viburnum (Viburnum setigerum) should be watered frequently and consistently. During the spring and summer, experts recommend watering the plant every 5-7 days. During the fall and winter, reduce the watering to every 10-14 days. Make sure the soil remains moist, but not soggy. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Moisture can also be increased with regular mistings of a spray bottle.
sunlight
Tea viburnum (Viburnum setigerum) prefers to grow in full sun to partial shade, with at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight every day. This will ensure robust growth and abundant flowering. In addition to direct sunlight, the plants will benefit from reflections from nearby trees and buildings. While it can survive in shadier areas, the shrub will not flower as many blooms if it does not receive adequate sunlight.
pruning
Tea viburnum should be pruned in late winter or early spring, when it is still dormant. This will help the plant to produce more flowers and berries for the upcoming season. Prune back any dead, diseased, and crossed branches to maintain the shrub's overall health. You can also lightly prune and thin out branches to help with air circulation and reduce congestion. Don't prune more than 1-third of the plant's total growth, as too much pruning can damage the plant.
