Tips to Grow Guava:

  1. Arrange good quality guava plants or seeds.
  2. The soil should not be shallow and compact and has good internal and external drainage.
  3. The process of growing guava from seeds or cuttings is roughly the same. However, while it’s more common to plant guava trees by seed, cuttings are actually more optimal.
  4. Fill the hole to about the length of your index finger to create a mound. For seeds, place them on top of this mound. For cuttings, hold it by the graft line or crown and place it on top of the dirt. Grow one plant in each container.
  5. We can add compost and can for better growth.
  6. You’ll know when your fruit is ripe and mature enough to pick by the change of both its color and texture.
  7. Guava tree lives many of years, so you have to take care of your tree and can get the fruit timely.
