Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Guioa pubescens prefers consistently moist soil but dislikes waterlogged conditions. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry.
Reduce watering during cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out slightly more between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune Guioa pubescens to maintain its desired shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done anytime.
For more significant shaping, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This encourages bushier growth.
Guioa pubescens can be propagated from seeds sown fresh, as they may lose viability quickly. Seeds should be sown in a well-draining seed-starting mix and kept consistently moist and warm.
Germination can be slow and erratic. Cuttings are less common but can be attempted from semi-hardwood.
Repot Guioa pubescens every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound and begins to outgrow its container. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and loam.
Repot in spring, and water thoroughly after repotting to help settle the soil.
