Maintenance methods of potted guava

illumination

Guava likes light and is relatively shade-tolerant. Potted plants can be placed in sunny places such as balconies to ensure sufficient sunlight. Insufficient light will affect the growth of the plant and will be detrimental to its flowering and budding.

Watering

Just water the plant when it is dry. Do not water the plant too much to avoid root rot and plant death.

soil

Guava does not have high requirements for soil, and it is suitable to choose loose, fertile sandy loam with good air permeability and drainage.

Fertilization

Guava generally needs to be fertilized about 4-5 times a year, mainly with organic fertilizer.

Pest control

For the prevention and control of ulcers and damping-off, Bordeaux paste can be used to apply on the wound for prevention and control; for the prevention and control of anthrax, scorch rot and sooty mold, 50% Mancozeb or 75% Benomyl diluted 800 times can be sprayed to achieve better results.

For the prevention and control of pests such as aphids and whiteflies, spraying 40% Suposha 1000 times diluted solution and other pesticides can achieve good results. For the prevention and control of major pests such as peach fruit moth, 2000 times diluted 2.5% Gongfu emulsion should be used for spraying.
