Guarea bullata prefers consistently moist soil, but not waterlogged conditions. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out a bit more between waterings to prevent root rot. Ensure good drainage.

Pruning Guarea bullata is generally minimal and focused on removing dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.

Perform pruning in late winter or early spring before the new growth begins to maximize plant health.

Propagation of Guarea bullata is typically done by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Select healthy stems, make a clean cut below a node, and dip the end in rooting hormone.

Plant in a well-draining potting mix and keep consistently moist and humid. Rooting can take several weeks.

Repot Guarea bullata every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one, ensuring it has drainage holes. Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix.

Repotting is best done in spring before the main growing season begins.
