Choosing the Right Guava Plant
Choose improved or grafted varieties for pots or small gardens (e.g., Allahabad Safeda, Lucknow 49). Look for saplings with sturdy stems and fresh leaves.
Soil & Bed Preparation
Guava tolerates many soils but prefers well-drained loamy soil. Mix garden soil, compost, and a little sand. For pots: 16–20 inch containers work best.
Sunlight & Placement
Needs full sun (6–8 hrs daily) for sweet fruits. Place in open gardens, terraces, or sunny balconies.
Watering & Care
Water weekly during the growing season. Reduce watering once the plant matures. Avoid waterlogging, which causes root rot.
Tools & Fertilizers
Fertilize every 6–8 weeks with compost or cow manure. Use neem oil spray for fruit flies and mealybugs. Light pruning after harvest improves next season’s yield.
Growth & Harvest
Guava trees bear fruit in 2–4 years. Main harvests are in winter and rainy season. Fruits are ready when skin turns light yellow-green and aromatic.
