Planting Instructions
- Site Selection: Choose a sunny location for planting the guava seeds. The tree requires at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily to thrive.
- Soil Preparation: Guavas prefer slightly acidic to neutral, well-draining soil. If planting in containers, use a good quality potting mix with added organic matter.
- Planting Seeds: Start by soaking the guava seeds for 24 hours before planting. Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep in soil. Space seeds 4-6 inches apart if planting in rows.
- Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, but not waterlogged. Reduce watering during the dormant season.
- Temperature & Humidity: Guava trees grow best in warm temperatures between 75-85°F (24-29°C). They are not frost-tolerant, so plant them in areas with minimal risk of frost.
Care Tips
- Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer during the growing season to promote strong growth and fruiting.
- Pruning: Regularly prune the tree to maintain its shape and to encourage healthy growth. Prune away dead or damaged branches.
- Pest Control: Keep an eye out for common pests such as aphids or whiteflies. Organic pest control methods can be used if necessary.
- Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree to help retain moisture and prevent weed growth.
