Water: Maintaining moist soil is crucial for viburnum triphyllum's vigor and ornamental appeal. During transplanting, continuous irrigation is necessary for 3-4 weeks. In severe heat, 7-8 mm of water weekly suffices, while excess moisture can harm root respiration and lead to decay.

Fertilize: Organic fertilizer enhances soil structure, organic matter, and fertility, essential for viburnum triphyllum growth. Apply basal fertilizer during transplanting and biweekly during active growth. Fertilize before dormancy and avoid soft cuttings until sprouting. Use nitrogen-rich fertilizer for transplants, switching to high phosphorus during flowering.

Pruning: Viburnum triphyllum is a deciduous shrub with glossy leaves and fragrant flowers. Prune in early spring, removing dead or overcrowded branches for better air circulation. Avoid heavy trimming to preserve shape, promote a robust structure, and extend the flowering period.

Propagation: Planting viburnum triphyllum from seeds is not advisable, taking 12-18 months. Soft cuttings are preferred; ensure each contains 2 nodes. Mix 1/3 decomposed organic matter with 2/3 dugout soil. Plant cuttings, press soil gently, and water immediately to create a suitable watering pit.
