Water: Guazuma is drought-tolerant, thriving in well-drained soil with consistent moisture. It requires watering every 1-2 weeks, particularly in warmer climates. Efficient irrigation during the growing season is essential for optimal health and growth, reflecting its natural habitat's intermittent rainfall patterns.

Propagation: Guazuma propagation primarily occurs via seed sowing. Success hinges on warm temperatures (25-30°C), consistent moisture, and well-draining soil. Soak seeds in hot water for 24 hours before planting. Maintain partial sunlight and keep the soil moist until germination, as it can be moderately difficult.
