Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates

Sunlight and Climate Needs

Guava thrives best when receiving ample light and warmth.

• Sunlight: Prefers a location that receives full and direct sunlight (at least 6-8 hours a day) for vigorous growth and optimal fruit setting.
• Climate: Adapted to tropical and sub-tropical environments, making it suitable for a wide range of Indian regions.

Watering and Soil

Proper care with soil and water is key for maintaining a healthy, fruiting guava plant.

• Soil: Requires well-draining soil. A loamy soil mix with a slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the top few inches of soil feel dry. While the plant is hardy, avoid over-watering or allowing the roots to sit in waterlogged conditions.
• Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer during the primary growth and fruiting seasons to ensure a good yield.

The secure paper core packing method used for shipping ensures the plant is protected and well-ventilated during transit, ensuring you receive a healthy, genuine variety plant.
