Pruning a Viburnum lantana

This helps to remove any dead or crossing branches, which can improve air circulation and prevent disease. Cutting back spent flowers during the blooming period can encourage more blooms. Use clean, sharp tools like secateurs or pruning shears to make precise cuts. Keeping tools clean is important to prevent the spread of any potential diseases.

It's best to water Viburnum lantana deeply but infrequently, ensuring the soil is thoroughly soaked. This method is more effective than giving small amounts of water daily. Watering is ideally done in the early morning or late afternoon to minimise evaporation. Checking the soil moisture is crucial; only water if the soil feels dry. Ensure excess water can drain away to prevent root rot. Collected rainwater can be a sustainable option for watering this plant.
