Viburnum prunifolium aka Blackhaw

Even if you don't have a green thumb, you can successfully care for Blackhaw due to its easy-going nature.

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

Blackhaw 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 Blackhaw 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.

Ploi lacks confirmed information on the toxicity of this plant. If you, a relative, or your pet accidentally consume plant material with unknown toxicity, it's best to consult a medical expert.

The Blackhaw grows at a slow pace and doesn't require any supplementary fertilizers. By renewing its potting soil once a year, it should receive enough nourishment. Remember, plants obtain their energy from sunlight, not fertilizers.

Blackhaw grows vertically and new growth emerges from the top of the plant.

Blackhaw’s native range is Eastern N. America - Connecticut to Florida, west to Texas and Kansas.
