Water Guettarda aromatica thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering in cooler months to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot, as this species dislikes consistently wet feet.

Prune Guettarda aromatica to maintain desired shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pruning can be done anytime, while heavier pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.

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

Maintain high humidity and consistent moisture until roots develop, which can take several weeks.

Repot Guettarda aromatica 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.

Repotting is best done in spring before the start of the active growing season.
