Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates
Sunlight and Climate Needs
Guava is a tropical to sub-tropical plant that requires significant sun exposure for optimal growth, flowering, and fruit production.
- Sunlight: Requires full and direct sunlight (at least 6-8 hours a day). It can tolerate partial shade but may result in reduced fruiting.
- Pruning: Annual light pruning is recommended to maintain shape and encourage new growth, which leads to better fruit production.
Watering and Soil
Guava plants are relatively drought-tolerant once established but require consistent moisture when young and during flowering/fruiting periods.
- Soil: Plant in rich, well-draining soil. Guava is adaptable but prefers a pH between 4.5 and 7.5.
- Watering: Water deeply and regularly, especially in hot, dry weather. Allow the top soil to dry slightly before watering again. Avoid waterlogging at all costs.
- Fertilization: Apply a balanced NPK fertilizer annually or a custom organic fertilizer blend during the spring and late summer to support healthy growth and fruiting.
