Symphoricarpos orbiculatus aka Round Snowberry

Round Snowberry requires a bit more attention and knowledge to thrive, making it a suitable plant for those with some gardening experience.

Round Snowberry should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Round Snowberry loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Round Snowberry prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

During the cold period, it is common for Round Snowberry to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more during this period.

Round Snowberry is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.

The Round Snowberry should be transferred to a new pot once it has increased in size two-fold, or on an annual basis, whichever occurs earlier. Replacing the soil with fresh potting soil containing all the necessary nutrients, is sufficient enough to support the growth of the plant, thus avoiding the need to use fertilizer. It's important to note that plants derive their energy from the sun and not fertilizer.

New growth will sprout from the top of the plant as it grows upwards.

Round Snowberry’s native range is Eastern N. America - New Jersey and New York to Georgia and Texas.
