How to Grow Guava Trees from Guava Leaves

Selecting Guava Leaves:
Pick healthy, mature leaves from a guava tree, ensuring they’re free from damage or disease.
Choose leaves with vibrant green color and firm texture.
Preparing the Cuttings:
Use clean pruning shears to take 4 to 6-inch cuttings with a node or leaf joint.
Remove lower leaves to prevent rotting.
Rooting the Cuttings:
Optionally, dip the bottom of each cutting in rooting hormone powder.
Plant cuttings in well-draining soil, burying at least one node.
Water thoroughly and place in a warm, bright area with indirect sunlight.
Providing Care:
Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Monitor for root development and mist foliage for humidity.
Transplanting:
Once roots develop and new growth appears, transplant into larger containers or outdoor soil.
Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil and provide adequate water and sunlight.
Maintenance and Growth:
Regularly water, fertilize, and prune for healthy growth and fruit production.
Protect from frost, winds, and pests.
Monitor soil pH and nutrients for optimal conditions.
By following these steps, you can grow guava trees from guava leaves and enjoy homegrown guavas in your garden for years to come.
