Viburnum opulus aka Highbush Cranberry

Highbush Cranberry presents a moderate level of care, which allows plant enthusiasts with some experience to expand their skills and knowledge.

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

Highbush Cranberry 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 Highbush Cranberry 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 wintertime, it's common for Highbush Cranberry to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more.
