Viburnum nudum aka Smooth Witherod

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

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

Smooth Witherod 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 Smooth Witherod 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.

There is no verified data on the toxicity of this plant in the records of Ploi. If any person, including yourself, a family member, or a pet, consume plant material with an uncertain toxicity level, it is advisable to seek the advice of a healthcare expert.

The Smooth Witherod 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.

Smooth Witherod’s native range is Eastern N. America - Maryland to Florida, west to Arkansas and Kentucky.
