Plant Characteristics and Growing Conditions The Red Indian guava plant (Psidium guajava (Red Variety)) is a tropical evergreen known for its aesthetic purple or green foliage and high-yielding nature. Fruit Characteristics: It produces medium to large fruits with a green or yellow exterior and a distinct, vibrant red interior flesh. The fruit is highly aromatic, sweet, and known for being rich in Vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants. Climate and Sunlight: The plant thrives in tropical and subtropical climates and requires full sunlight (at least 6-8 hours of direct sun daily) for optimal growth and fruit production. Soil Requirements: Well-drained, nutrient-rich soil, such as sandy loam with a pH between 5.5 and 7.0, is ideal. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot. Watering: The plant needs regular watering, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Deep watering once a week is usually sufficient for mature trees. Fruiting Time: Grafted or air-layered plants typically start bearing fruit within 2-3 years of planting, much earlier than those grown from seed.
