Water: Moist soil enhances the vigor of viburnum hanceanum, while insufficient water reduces its ornamental value and causes abnormal flowering. Newly transplanted viburnum hanceanum require continuous irrigation for 3-4 weeks. In hot, dry conditions, 7-8 mm of water weekly is sufficient, but overwatering can lead to root rot.

Fertilize: Applying organic fertilizer enhances soil structure and fertility, crucial for viburnum hanceanum growth. Fertilize with basal fertilizer during transplanting, and every two weeks in the growth phase. Fertilize before dormancy; avoid soft cuttings until sprouting. Use nitrogen-rich fertilizer for transplants, switching to high phosphorus during flowering.

Pruning: Viburnum hanceanum thrives with early spring pruning, which includes removing dead branches, thinning for air circulation, and shaping. This timing promotes quick healing and supports robust flowering, enhancing overall health and ornamental value.

Propagation: It is advised against planting viburnum hanceanum from seeds, as it may take 12-18 months. Instead, use soft cuttings with 2 nodes. Mix 1/3 decomposed organic matter with 2/3 soil, place cuttings in holes, press gently, and water immediately after settling for optimal growth.
