Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates

Sunlight and Climate Needs

Guava plants are hardy and require optimal sun exposure to encourage robust growth and fruit setting.

• Sunlight: Prefers a location that receives full and direct sunlight (at least 6-8 hours a day) for best results.
• Climate: This variety is robust and suitable for the tropical and subtropical conditions common across India.

Watering and Soil

• Soil: Requires well-draining, fertile, loamy soil. Avoid soils that retain water for long periods.
• Watering: Water regularly and deeply, especially during dry periods and while the plant is establishing. Allow the top few inches of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.

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.
