Viburnum lantana aka Mealytree

If you're looking for a plant that offers a moderate level of challenge, Mealytree is a great choice to test your gardening skills.

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

Mealytree 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 Mealytree 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.

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

The Mealytree is characterized by its slow growth and doesn't need fertilization in addition to its potting soil. By renewing the soil in its pot once a year, it should have enough nutrition. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not from any fertilizers.

New growth will sprout from the top of the Mealytree as it grows vertically.

Mealytree’s native range is Europe, including Britain, from Belgium south and east to Spain, Greece and W. Asia.
