Viburnum dentatum aka Southern Arrowwood

With its straightforward care requirements, Southern Arrowwood is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.

Southern Arrowwood should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Southern Arrowwood 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 Southern Arrowwood prefers bright indirect 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.

No verified data on the toxicity of this plant exists within Ploi's records. Should you, someone in your family, or your pet ingest plant material with an unknown toxicity level, it is recommended to seek medical advice.

The Southern Arrowwood is known for its slow growth and doesn't require fertilizing beyond its potting soil. Replacing the soil in its pot once a year should offer it sufficient nutrition. It's essential to remember that plants get their energy from the sun, not from fertilizers.

Southern Arrowwood’s native range is Eastern N. America - New Brunswick to Ontario and New York, south to Georgia and Florida.
