Planting & Care

To start Detwiler Guava seeds, sow them in a well-draining seed-starting mix, barely covering them with soil as they need light to germinate. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a warm temperature between 70-85°F. Germination can take several weeks, so be patient. Once seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow them in a sunny, sheltered spot until they are large enough to plant outdoors.

When planting in the garden, choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first year to help establish a strong root system. Guava trees benefit from occasional pruning to maintain shape and remove dead wood. In cooler climates, grow them in containers and move them indoors or to a protected area during winter. Fertilize lightly during the growing season to support healthy growth and fruit production.
