Water: Viburnum thrives in moderate moisture and well-drained soil, requiring watering every 1-2 weeks. Once established, it tolerates dry spells. Higher humidity benefits its growth indoors, enhancing foliage and flowering. Regular watering during active growth promotes robustness and optimal health.

Propagation: Propagation of viburnum can be achieved via semi-hardwood cuttings, seeds, or layering. Success hinges on well-draining soil, consistent moisture, and sunlight. Cuttings thrive in high humidity (18-24°C), while seeds need stratification. Cuttings should be 4-6 inches, treated with rooting hormone, and kept moist until rooted.
