Celastrus orbiculatus aka Oriental Bittersweet

Oriental Bittersweet’s native range is N.E. Asia - China, Japan, Korea.

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

If you're planting Oriental Bittersweet, you need to make sure you use a potting soil that can retain moisture. While the soil should still be able to drain well, it should contain plenty of organic matter like coco coir or sphagnum moss to help it stay moist and nourish the roots of your plants. This is especially important since Asian Bittersweet is especially sensitive to dry soil. You can also add other amendments, such as compost, to help retain moisture and provide extra nutrients to your plants. Be sure to keep the soil evenly moist, but not soggy, throughout the growing season. With the right soil and proper care, your Oriental Bittersweet will thrive!
