Water: Moist soil enhances the vigor of viburnum macrocephalum 'Keteleeri', while insufficient water diminishes its ornamental value and disrupts flowering. Consistent irrigation for 3-4 weeks is crucial during transplanting. In hot, dry conditions, 7-8 mm of weekly water is sufficient, but excessive moisture can harm roots.
Fertilize: Applying organic fertilizer enhances soil structure, organic matter, and fertility, essential for viburnum macrocephalum 'Keteleeri' growth. Fertilization should occur pre-dormancy, with basal fertilizer during transplanting. Weekly applications are advised during peak growth, switching from nitrogen to phosphorus-rich formulas in later flowering stages.
Pruning: Light pruning of viburnum macrocephalum 'Keteleeri' can occur year-round for dead or injured branches. Shaping should happen in late winter or early spring, with severe cuts limited to 1/3 for dense growth. Post-flowering, pruning before fruit setting is ideal, avoiding frost periods to prevent damage.
Propagation: Avoid planting viburnum macrocephalum 'Keteleeri' from seeds due to a lengthy 12-18 month germination. Instead, use soft cuttings with two nodes. Prepare a soil mix of 1/3 organic matter and 2/3 dugout soil, gently press cuttings into the hole, and water immediately to settle the soil.
