Water Guettarda argentea thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering frequency during cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out slightly more between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent issues.

Prune Guettarda argentea to maintain its shape and size, or to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This encourages bushier growth.

Propagation of Guettarda argentea is typically done from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cuttings in rooting hormone and plant them in a well-draining potting mix.

Maintain high humidity and warmth until roots form. Seed propagation is also possible but slower.

Repot Guettarda argentea every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Handle the roots gently to avoid damage during the repotting process.
