Guide d’entretien : Chilean Guava

Arrosage, taille, multiplication et rempotage selon les données de la plante

Arrosage

Chilean-Guava prefers consistently moist soil but not waterlogged. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly in winter, allowing the soil to dry a little more between waterings.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Taille

Prune Chilean-Guava in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can also be done after fruiting to maintain shape and encourage bushiness.

Aim for an open structure to improve air circulation.

Multiplication et bouturage

Propagate Chilean-Guava by seed, cuttings, or division. Seeds require stratification. Softwood cuttings can be taken in summer and rooted in a moist medium. Division of established clumps in spring is also effective.

Patience is key for successful propagation.

Rempotage

Repot young Chilean-Guava plants every 1-2 years, or when they become root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Mature plants can remain in their pots for several years.

Repot in spring before active growth begins, disturbing the roots as little as possible.
