Cultivation Notes: Requires a moist but freely-draining lime free soil, preferring one that is rich in peat or a light loamy soil with added leaf-mould[11, 200]. Prefers a very acid soil with a pH in the range of 4.5 to 6, plants soon become chlorotic when lime is present. Succeeds in full sun or light shade though it fruits better in a sunny position[200]. Requires shelter from strong winds[200].
Dislikes root disturbance, plants are best grown in pots until being planted out in their permanent positions[200].
Only succeeds outdoors in the mildest areas of the country[11, 182].
This species is closely related to V. donnianum[11, 182].
Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200].
