Plant Care & Growing Tips

Proper guava tree care is essential for a healthy and productive white guava live plant. Guavas are relatively low-maintenance once established, but a few key considerations will ensure optimal growth and fruiting. These plants thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day to produce the best fruit. If growing indoors, place it near a south-facing window or supplement with a grow light to meet its light requirements. Protection from strong winds is also beneficial, especially for young trees.

When it comes to watering, the sweet guava tree prefers consistently moist, but not waterlogged, soil. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and reduce watering during cooler, dormant periods. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot. For soil, a well-draining, fertile loam with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0) is ideal. Amending heavy clay soils with organic matter can improve drainage, while sandy soils will benefit from compost to retain moisture and nutrients. Fertilize your edible fruit plant every 2-3 months during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer formulated for fruit trees, following the product’s instructions.

This tropical fruit plant is hardy in USDA Zones 9-11. In colder climates, it can be grown in containers and brought indoors before the first frost. Protect from temperatures below 30°F. Pruning should be done in late winter or early spring to shape the tree, remove dead or diseased branches, and encourage better fruit production. Watch out for common pests like aphids or mealybugs and treat them with organic insecticidal soap if necessary. With consistent care, your guava tree will reward you with abundant, delicious fruit.
