Step 1: Prepare the Pots
Choose pots that are at least 10-12 inches in diameter and have good drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Fill them with a well-draining potting mix suitable for fruit trees.
Step 2: Transplant Seedlings
Create a small hole in the potting mix’s center and gently place the germinated guava seedling with the root pointing downward into the hole. Carefully cover the seedling with soil.
Step 3: Watering
Water the newly transplanted seedlings thoroughly and maintain consistent moisture. Guavas appreciate a slightly humid environment, so avoid overwatering.
Step 4: Fertilization
Once your guava seedlings are established, start applying balanced, slow-release fertilizer to provide the essential nutrients they need.
Caring for Your Guava Potted Tree
To ensure the success of your potted guava tree, proper care and attention are necessary:
1. Sunlight: Guava trees thrive in full sun, so position your pots in a spot that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
2. Watering: Consistently water your guava tree to maintain even moisture. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged.
3. Pruning: Regularly prune your guava tree to maintain its shape, remove dead or diseased branches, and encourage new growth.
4. Pests and Diseases: Keep an eye out for common guava pests like fruit flies and aphids. If needed, apply appropriate treatments.
5. Frost Protection: If you reside in a cooler climate, provide frost protection for your guava during winter months. Move the pots indoors or use frost cloth to shield the tree from freezing temperatures.
