{"product_id":"guava-10-bag-pnk","title":"Guava Pink - 10\" Grow bag","description":"\u003cp\u003eGuava (Psidium guajava) is one of India's most reliable and rewarding fruit trees, prized for its sweet, fragrant fruit that is exceptionally rich in vitamin C. A vigorous, hardy small tree, it tolerates poor soils, heat and drought once established, making it perfect for home gardens, terraces and orchards across the country. It begins bearing within two to three years and crops heavily, often twice a year. The smooth-barked tree carries glossy green leaves and small white flowers. Low-maintenance and adaptable, guava suits beginners and rewards minimal care with abundant harvests for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFamily\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMyrtaceae\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNative region\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTropical America\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-6 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature spread\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-5 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGrowth rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFast\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFoliage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEvergreen, oval glossy green leaves\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower season\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpring to monsoon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eClimate zone\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTropical and subtropical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSunlight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull sun, at least 6 hours daily\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWatering\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModerate; water weekly, more during fruiting; avoid waterlogging\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSoil \/ mix\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWell-drained loam, tolerant of most soils; pH 5-7.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15-35C; tolerates heat well\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHumidity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdapts to most humidity levels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFertilizer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBalanced NPK plus compost every 2-3 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePruning\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrune after harvest to shape and boost new fruiting wood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRepotting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRepot container plants every 2-3 years into larger pots\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePropagation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAir-layering, grafting, cuttings or seed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePests \u0026amp; problems\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFruit fly, mealybug, scale; use traps and neem\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eToxicity \/ safety\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-toxic; fruit and leaves are edible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEasy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Grown for fresh sweet fruit, jams, jellies and juice; leaves are used in traditional remedies.

Let the topsoil dry slightly between waterings and never allow waterlogging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much sunlight does guava need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuava needs full sun, at least 6 hours of direct light daily, for healthy growth and good fruiting. Insufficient light reduces flowering and yield.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs guava safe for pets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, guava fruit and leaves are non-toxic and safe around pets, though large quantities of fruit may upset a pet's stomach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen and how should I repot a potted guava?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRepot every 2-3 years, ideally before the spring growth flush, moving it into a larger pot with fresh well-drained potting mix and compost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I propagate guava?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe easiest reliable methods are air-layering and grafting, which retain the parent's fruit quality. Seeds work but produce variable, slower-bearing plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy are my guava fruits dropping or wormy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFruit fly is the usual cause. Bag fruits while young, hang fruit-fly traps, collect fallen fruit and spray neem to keep infestation down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen does guava bloom and fruit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuava flowers from spring through the monsoon and fruits a few months later, often giving two crops a year in warm Indian climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I grow guava indoors or only outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuava needs strong sun and is best grown outdoors or on a sunny terrace; it does not fruit well as an indoor plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs any part of the guava plant toxic?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo part is toxic. Fruit, leaves and even leaf tea are commonly consumed and considered safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat fertilizer is best for guava?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeed a balanced NPK with added compost or farmyard manure every 2-3 months, increasing potash before and during fruiting for sweeter fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vedicflora","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51256137089270,"sku":"PLT-GUAVA-B10-PNK","price":199.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4980\/6326\/files\/nurserylive-seeds-guava-amrud-allahabadi-0-5-kg-seeds-16968910045324.jpg?v=1783921775","url":"https:\/\/vedicflora.com\/products\/guava-10-bag-pnk","provider":"vedicflora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
