Water: Moist soil enhances viburnum cylindricum's vigor, while inadequate water reduces its ornamental value and causes abnormal flowering. Proper water management is crucial during transplanting, requiring continuous irrigation for 3-4 weeks. In hot, dry conditions, 7-8 mm of water weekly suffices, but avoid excessive moisture to prevent root rot.

Fertilize: Organic fertilizer enhances soil structure and fertility. During transplanting, use basal fertilizer, followed by applications every 2 weeks during growth. Fertilize before dormancy or leaf drop, avoiding soft cuttings until sprouting. Use nitrogen-rich fertilizer for transplants, switching to high phosphorus during flowering.

Pruning: Viburnum cylindricum features lush foliage and clusters of small, white flowers. Prune in early spring to remove damaged branches and enhance air circulation. This promotes healthy growth and flowering, improving viburnum cylindricum's shape and overall health, ensuring it remains a vibrant garden addition.

Propagation: Planting viburnum cylindricum from seeds is not ideal, taking 12-18 months. Instead, use soft cuttings with 2 nodes. Mix 1/3 organic matter with 2/3 dugout soil, place cuttings in holes, and water immediately to create suitable watering pits after soil settlement.
