Water consistently, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler, dormant periods, but never let the soil become completely dry.

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

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

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

Maintain high humidity and consistent warmth for successful rooting, which can take several weeks.

Repot your Guarea corticosa every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repotting is best done in spring, just as the plant begins its active growth phase.
