Guarea chiricana prefers consistently moist soil. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler months, but never allow the soil to dry out completely. Good drainage is essential.

Prune Guarea chiricana to maintain its desired shape and size, or to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Use clean, sharp pruning tools.

Propagation of Guarea chiricana is typically done by seed or semi-hardwood cuttings. Seeds should be sown in a well-draining medium and kept moist and warm.

Cuttings can be taken in summer, treated with rooting hormone, and placed in a moist potting mix to encourage root development.

Repot Guarea chiricana 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 potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost. Repot in spring.
