Snow Ball Vibernum

Question

My snowball viberrium lost all it’s leaves,. I thought it died but I noticed they are growing back.this is the second time this has happened.what is going on,?

Answer 1

Likely, overwatering. Unfortunately, your photo did not come through, so I am unable to see any damage. Extreme cold can do this as well, over the winter.

I would make sure to use fungicide on the plant and area around. Make sure that it only receives water when the ground has dried, very thoroughly, down to about 4 inches or so. Most of the time, they are drought tolerant and will not need supplemental water.
