Water Eugenia calva thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogged conditions, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months when the plant's growth slows.

Ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent moisture buildup.

Prune Eugenia calva to maintain desired shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Trim back leggy stems and remove any dead or damaged branches.

Light pruning can be done anytime, but more significant shaping is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.

Eugenia calva can be propagated from seeds, which require stratification, or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and placed in a well-draining medium.

Seeds may exhibit delayed germination.

Repot Eugenia calva every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
