Taiwan Pink Guava is a hardy and fast-growing plant that requires simple care to flourish and produce abundant fruit.
Sunlight Needs
- Sunlight: Requires full and direct sunlight (at least 6-8 hours a day) for optimal growth, maximum fruit sweetness, and yield.
Watering and Soil
- Soil: Prefers well-draining, fertile soil, ideally sandy loam or loamy soil with a pH between 5.5 to 7.0. It is sensitive to waterlogging, so good drainage is crucial.
- Watering: Water regularly and moderately, especially during the active growing season. Allow the top half-inch to one inch of the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root diseases.
- Fertilization: Use a balanced NPK fertilizer during active growth to promote lush foliage and high-quality fruit.
