Viburnum odoratissimum aka Sweet Arrowwood

With a bit of knowledge and dedication, you can successfully care for Sweet Arrowwood, making it a rewarding choice for those seeking a moderate challenge.

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

Sweet 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 Sweet 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.

The growth of Sweet Arrowwood is gradual and it doesn't necessitate any additional fertilizers. Replacing the soil in its pot once a year should suffice to provide the plant with sufficient nutrition. It's important to keep in mind that plants derive their energy from the sun's rays, not fertilizers.

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

Sweet Arrowwood’s native range is E. Asia - China, Japan, India, Burma.
