Plantation and Care
Plantation:

Climate: Prefers warm, tropical climates with plenty of sunlight.
Soil: Thrives in well-drained, loamy soil with a pH of 5.5 to 7.5.
Spacing: Space the plants about 10-12 feet apart to accommodate their growth.
Planting: Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil, ensuring the graft union is above the soil line.
Care:

Watering: Water the plant regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering during the rainy season.
Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 2-3 months. Enrich the soil with organic compost or well-rotted manure for optimal growth.
Pruning: Prune the plant regularly to remove dead or diseased branches and to maintain a healthy shape. This encourages better air circulation and sunlight penetration.
Pest Control: Monitor for common pests like fruit flies, aphids, and mealybugs. Use organic insecticides or neem oil to manage infestations. Practice good sanitation by removing fallen fruits and debris to prevent diseases.
Harvesting: Guavas are ready to harvest when they turn light green to yellow and emit a fragrant aroma. Pick the fruits gently to avoid damage.
