Description: Tropical Twist: Grow Pineapple Guava from Cuttings! 🌿 Grow Your Own Pineapple Guava: A Simple Guide to Propagating from Cuttings 🌿 Pineapple guava, also known as feijoa, is a versatile and attractive plant that produces delightful, tropical fruit. Propagating pineapple guava from cuttings is a straightforward process that lets you cultivate your own fruit-bearing plants. Follow these steps to get started! 🌟 Best Time to Take Cuttings When: The ideal time for taking cuttings is during the late summer or early fall when the plant is actively growing. This ensures better rooting success. ✂️ Selecting and Preparing Pineapple Guava Cuttings Choose Cuttings: Length: Select healthy, semi-hardwood stems about 4-6 inches long. Ensure the cuttings are from the current year's growth. Health: Use cuttings that are free of pests and diseases. Prepare Cuttings: Cut: Use clean, sharp pruning shears to make a cut just below a leaf node. Remove Leaves: Strip away leaves from the lower half of the cutting to reduce moisture loss and encourage root development. Optional: Dip the cut end into rooting hormone powder or gel to boost rooting success. 🌿 Planting Your Pineapple Guava Cuttings Potting Mix: Blend: Use a well-draining mix, such as equal parts perlite and peat moss, or a mix of perlite and vermiculite. Moisture: Lightly moisten the potting mix before planting, ensuring it's not too wet. Planting: Container: Use a small pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Insert: Create a hole in the potting mix with a pencil or stick. Gently insert the cutting into the hole, making sure at least one node is below the surface. Firm: Firm the potting mix around the cutting to support it. Care: Location: Place the pot in a warm, bright spot with indirect sunlight. Pineapple guava cuttings need warmth and light to root effectively. Humidity: Cover the pot with a clear plastic bag or use a propagator to create a humid environment. Mist regularly to keep the cuttings moist but not soggy. 🌱 Root Development Time: Pineapple guava cuttings typically take 6-8 weeks to develop roots. Check: Gently tug on the cutting to check for resistance. Once you feel resistance, it indicates that roots are forming. After a robust root system is established, the cutting can be transplanted. 🌿 Care for Rooted Pineapple Guava Plants Soil: Use well-draining soil with a pH between 5.5 and 7.0. A mix of sandy loam is ideal. Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Sunlight: Provide full sun exposure with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Pineapple guava is frost-sensitive, so protect young plants from cold temperatures. Transplanting: Once the plant has a strong root system, transplant it into a larger pot or directly into the garden. Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 6-8 weeks during the growing season to support healthy growth. Pruning: Prune regularly to maintain the shape of the plant and remove any dead or damaged branches. 🍍 Enjoy Your Pineapple Guava! Harvesting: Pineapple guava fruits are ready to harvest when they turn a dark green and emit a fragrant aroma. They typically mature 6-9 months after flowering. Fruit Production: Pineapple guava plants grown from cuttings may start producing fruit in 1-2 years.
