Guapira areolata prefers consistently moist soil but should not be waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering slightly during cooler months to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid issues.

Prune Guapira areolata to maintain its desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or crossing branches. This can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Light pruning can also encourage bushier growth.

Guapira areolata can be propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.

Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm location with bright, indirect light until they root.

Repot Guapira areolata every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering.

Repot in spring before the active growing season.
