Amrud (Guava) Plant

The amrud plant is the fruit-bearing tree Guava, scientifically known as Psidium guajava.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil with good organic matter.
• Water: Regular watering, especially during flowering and fruit development. Avoid waterlogging.
• Temperature: Grows best in warm tropical and subtropical climates (around 20–30°C).

Planting

• Plant in a location with full sun.
• Keep about 4–6 meters between trees if planting multiple plants.
• Mix compost or well-rotted manure into the soil before planting.

Care

• Prune lightly to maintain shape and improve air circulation.
• Apply balanced fertilizer several times during the growing season.
• Watch for pests such as fruit flies, aphids, and mealybugs.

Fruiting

• A grafted guava plant may start producing fruit in 2–4 years.
• Seed-grown plants often take longer, typically 4–8 years.
