Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the growing season. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch.

Reduce watering frequency during cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out slightly more between waterings to prevent root rot.

Prune Palicourea guianensis to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before the main growth spurt begins.

Propagation is typically done through stem cuttings. Take 10-15 cm cuttings from healthy, non-flowering stems in spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.

Keep consistently moist and warm until roots form.

Repot your Palicourea guianensis every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting soil.

The best time to repot is in the spring, coinciding with the start of its active growth period, allowing roots to establish quickly.
