Water: During summer, water guatemalan fir more frequently, ideally twice a week, ensuring soil remains moist but not waterlogged. In spring and fall, weekly watering is sufficient. Adjust based on climate and soil moisture, and avoid watering in winter or after rainfall.
Fertilize: Fertilization of guatemalan fir is unnecessary if soil is nutrient-rich. Apply mulch in spring or early summer for growth and moisture retention. Alternatively, a slow-acting fertilizer can be used sparingly in early fall, avoiding contact with the trunk or foliage.
Pruning: Guatemalan fir has dense, pyramidal foliage and should be pruned in early spring. Key techniques include removing dead branches and thinning for natural shape, using clean tools. This enhances air circulation, reduces disease risk, and promotes robust growth. Make cuts just outside the branch collar for optimal healing.
Propagation: Propagation of guatemalan fir is most easily done through cuttings: softwood in late spring and hardwood in late fall. Softwood cuttings root faster (3-4 weeks) but require more care to prevent drying out, while hardwood cuttings take longer (4-6 months) to root.
