How to fertilize Guava Tree
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil itās likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Guava Tree after it doubles in size or once a yearāwhichever comes first.

Chlorosis? Looks like, since repotting, most of my guavas are suffering from chlorosis. Itās weird to me, as I didnāt do a full repot. They werenāt root bound, so I just stopped some roots that were barely starting to circle, then put the whole ball with existing soil into a larger pot with some new stuff. I did have a big fungus gnat problem this spring, and I wonder if Iām still recovering from that. Macronutrients tested on the high side. Could this be root burn from excess fertilizer? Iāll probably supplement with Cal-Mag next time I water, but Iām curious to read your thoughts. #GuavaTree #guava #diagnose #DiagnosisHelp #Fertilizer #Nutrients #micronutrients #chlorosis #FruitTrees #orchard

How to encourage branching? I have a small forest of potted guava trees indoors. I started them all from seed two springs back. They struggled their first year, barely gaining a few inches. Last summer, they flourished - this one grew from three inches to over 5 feet! However, some of them are not branching (including this one)) I read that this could be from being root bound. However, I repotted this monster today and found it was not spiraling at all and had few roots bunched at the bottom of the container. I trimmed these anyway and potted it up to a #2 nursery pot. It doesnāt seem leggy in form, though it canāt support itself yet. Its trunk is thin, so I donāt think I can notch it. Iām reluctant to chop it down to chest height, though I suspect thatās what it needs. So, Greggers, what would you do with this plant this spring? #GuavaTree #RepotSeason #Branching #NotBranching #pruning #pruningseason #FruitTrees #guava #IndoorTree #IndoorGrowing

Why are leaves drooping? It has several fruit. Watering has been regularly. I've noticed a few yellow leaves.

To stake or not to stake? This little guy has grown almost as much this spring as all last summer. Iām guessing itās time to give in and give him a little light support until he can stand on his own. On the other hand, if it stays leaned over like this, maybe itāll branch where it turns #guava #GuavaTree #sapling #tree #stake
