Growing guava at home is a fun and rewarding experience. Guava trees can thrive in a variety of conditions, but they do best in warm climates. Here’s how to grow guava at home in simple steps:

1. Choose the Right Variety:

• Pick a guava variety that suits your climate and available space.

2. Location and Sunlight:

• Find a sunny spot in your garden that gets at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.

3. Soil and Planting:

• Use well-drained soil, ideally with a pH of 5.5 to 7.
• Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and as deep as the roots.
• Plant the guava tree at the same depth it was in the pot.

4. Watering:

• Water deeply and regularly, especially during dry periods.
• Avoid overwatering; the soil should not be constantly soggy.

5. Fertilizing:

• Feed your guava tree with a balanced fruit tree fertilizer every 3-4 months.
• Follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging.

6. Pruning:

• Prune dead or diseased branches and shape the tree as needed.
• Pruning encourages healthy growth and fruit production.

7. Pest and Disease Control:

• Monitor for pests like aphids or whiteflies and treat as needed.
• Keep an eye out for signs of disease and act quickly if needed.

8. Harvesting:

• Guava fruits are ready to harvest when they turn slightly soft and change color (depending on the variety).
• Twist or cut the fruit from the branch carefully.
