Plant Care Guide

Ideal Plantation Locations

Low Seed Guava thrives in warm, tropical, and subtropical climates with ample sunlight. It prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a slightly acidic pH. Suitable regions include Florida, California, Texas, and other areas with similar climatic conditions.

Planting & Gardening Instructions

1. Location: Choose a sunny location with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
2. Soil Preparation: Amend the soil with organic matter like compost or well-rotted manure to improve drainage and fertility.
3. Planting: Plant the guava seedling in a well-prepared hole, ensuring the root ball is slightly below the soil surface.
4. Spacing: Maintain a spacing of 10-15 feet between plants to allow for proper growth and air circulation.

Watering

Water the guava tree regularly, especially during dry periods. Deep watering is preferred to shallow watering. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.

Fertilizers

Fertilize the guava tree during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) every 2-3 months. Apply the fertilizer around the base of the tree and water it in thoroughly.

Re-potting Instructions

Re-potting is generally necessary only for young guava trees grown in containers. Re-pot the tree to a larger container when it becomes root-bound. Use well-draining potting mix and ensure proper drainage.

Fruiting Season

Low Seed Guava typically starts fruiting within 1-2 years after planting. The fruiting season varies depending on the climate, but generally occurs during the warmer months.
