[@happyfamily8624]

[@GardenloveHomestead]

Thsbk you so much, welcome to Garden Love!

[@corlissyamasaki3476]

My Satsuma mandarin was not growing too well and needed a trellis because of its weeping habit. I realized it needed to be up potted as the pot fell over with the trellis. When i took it out of the pot, I noticed it wasn't getting enough water-- only the top half was moist , bottom half was dry. I would never have known if I didn't take it out of the pot. Thank you, Diana, I really appreciate all your videos, even the old ones!

[@quailshirefarms]

Great information. I think I might be able to save my Pink Guava tree now. Thank You soooo much!!

[@GardenloveHomestead]

Yay I'm so happy to hear that! Keep me posted.

[@maryboyd4918]

Just ordered 2 strawberry guava trees thanks so much for the info. I pray they make it. And by the way I’m in Dallas TX and none of my trees citrus, figs, peach none of them like that direct TX heat.

[@mimi4816]

Thanks your video! I just got one three days ago. I live in Globe AZ. Still in the pot and back yard now. (I put some dry leaves and foam rolling around keep warm the midnight cold. So I will report it February or March is better. Our temperature is 66/57~33/37F (5 gallon and 5feet tall.) Thanks again

Isabella & Jaidyns Garden Adventures Thanks, I am glad you thought so. Thanks for watching. ☺

[@MellowGypsy]

My guava looks like charlie browns christmas tree 😢

[@risingwarrior9937]

I absolutely love ur grava tree, its so beautiful & healthy. I have a Pinapple Guava tree that I am gonna transplant into a larger pot. I am gonna purchase some Organics Sure Start per ur recommendation. Thanks u just got another subscriber.

[@GardenloveHomestead]

Hi Robert, that is exciting! Pineapple guavas are a great addition to any landscape. What state are you in? Sure start makes the biggest difference in my opinion. Let me know how it goes. Thank you for watching 🙂

[@bryanbazilauskas8673]

That was a really fun video to watch, and also informative. I am really interested in growing a pineapple guava tree over here in Costa Mesa, hopefully it likes the same conditions as your pink guava.

[@GardenloveHomestead]

Bryan Bazilauskas Thank you. Pineapple are a lot easier to grow then the pink guava. I have one I've done a few videos on it. I hope you find one and pineapple huahua's are really are so hardy so you should be fine. Let me know if you get one

[@encarnitaalonso4346]

Diana could you please tell me the different soils you used? Thank you!

[@GardenloveHomestead]

I usually use EB Stone citrus soil for all my fruit trees in containers. If you dont have access to it try kelog soil for potting. Guava don't mind the extra moisture. Make sure to add woodchips.

[@jesurunblends]

great videos

[@GardenloveHomestead]

Thank you so much for watching 🤗🙂

[@lovenotes5299]

Loved your video!

[@GardenloveHomestead]

Thank you 😊

[@lcsoliman]

Hi Diana! Thanks, this was helpful! What if you have a 1-year old volunteer guava that's grown too close to a 10 year-old peach tree? What's the safest way to transfer the guava to a pot or container without killing it? I'd appreciate your community's input and especially yours! Muchas gracias!

[@GardenloveHomestead]

The best time to transplant would be spring when its not to hot depending on how big the little guava is, I would go a foot out grom the trunk and start digging it out. Try to keep as much roots as possible. Have a pot ready with good soil, compost, and or warm castings and transplant it. Before i forget the day before give it a really good deep water. You want to make sure the tree will well hydrate. After you transplant it water it good again. And water lights every day for a week after that as need it. Lastly, keep in a bright shaded area. Keep it there for a while maybe a month or two. Thank you shoul be able to move it when you want it. I hope that made scene 😅

[@lcsoliman]

@@GardenloveHomestead Copy all that! Muchas gracias! You solved my dilemma! I really want and hope to keep the guava alive. I believe plant volunteers are heaven sent, so the least I could do is provide them the safe space and home each plant deserves. Much appreciated! Please stay safe and keep growing and spreading love from your garden.

[@MatthewSherriff85]

Good to know that even at that size it isn't root bound in the small pot

[@jenniferanderson899]

This was very helpful for me thank you

[@GardenloveHomestead]

Your welcome, and thank you for watching 😊

[@658trudy]

Hi dear I love watching your channel You inspire me to start growing in containers . That’s look like a good size whiskey barrel to plant my orange tree in can you please tell me where you purchase it thank you

[@penethia2]

The dollar general have them for 20.oo

[@658trudy]

P Smith Thank you I will check it out

[@nitisingh6110]

If you don't mind asking which country are you making this vedio so I can ask help for my plant

[@GardenloveHomestead]

Hi, Im in LA County 🙂

[@Cortmay86]

Where did you buy the pink guava tree girl , I haven been looking for one here in Bakersfield and no luck

[@GardenloveHomestead]

Mayra Cortez OMG how did i miss this. I got mine from Lowe's they have great trees. I was really happy to find it. Even Greenthumb nursery didnt have them.

[@Cortmay86]

Garden love it happens don’t worry. awesome I’m gonna go check here in Bakersfield thanks for answering back girl 🤗

[@GardenloveHomestead]

Mayra Cortez Thanks for understanding. Guess what this tree just bloom its 1st flowers 🤗🤗so excited. Hopping too get fruit this season.

[@Lbaculanta]

Hi, I just have a question , I just bought a srawberry guava tree at the nursery a week ago and I notice most of the leaves are falling , so I repot on a bigger pot, do you think it will live or can I transplant to the ground? And the have a lot of fruits too. Where did you buy your pot? Pls. advise. Thanks.

[@paididoy]

The pot is over filled with soil. You should have left 2 to 3 inches from the top so that water can be contain during watering.

[@GardenloveHomestead]

The soil usually gets congress after a few days. It will drop at least an inch And it did. Specially this tree already had large roots. But it's definitely a good idea to leave some room for watering 🙂

[@Welder-to-stars]

Great Video! Really detailed for the newbie like me! I received my guava plant today! It's about 5" tall. Can you tell me what size pot would be best to start off? Also what fertilizer do you use monthly? I live in SoCal too.

[@GardenloveHomestead]

Wow, congrats! I would go two size bigger in pit if you have a 5gallon then get a 10 or 15 gallon pot. If the roots are well developed you can go 20. They do grow fast. This tree was in a 5 gallon a year before this video. As you know this guava already produced food 🤗. I have a video tasting the fruit. The fertilizing I use is EB stone fertilizer and or IV organic fertilizer. I also alternate by adding compost, fish fertilizer and worm casting. Each month I change it up.

[@Welder-to-stars]

@@GardenloveHomestead Thanks so much for the info! The plant came in a really small container so I will follow your lead and go with a 5 Gal! Keep these amazing videos coming!!

[@GardenloveHomestead]

@@Welder-to-stars you are welcome, thank you for the support. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. What part of social are you in?

[@Welder-to-stars]

@@GardenloveHomestead I definitely will have more questions!! I'm in Long Beach

[@GardenloveHomestead]

@@Welder-to-stars sounds good. I asked because we have a free workshop in sylmar I know that's far from you but Steve list will be teaching by LA Zoo soon if you are ever interested. I'll keep you posted

[@fenderman9178]

I might have missed it, but how often do you water the guava tree?

[@GardenloveHomestead]

It depends on 2 things 1. weather 2. In the growing and or in a container. If its hot often twice a week or so if in a container every other day. During cool days once a week. In containers twice a week. Guavas love having their fert moist and they drink a lot of water. Also if its in the ground keep in mind what kind of soil you have. Does it hold alot of water or its sandy and it drys out fast 🤷‍♀️ I hope that was helpful 🙂

[@aroundthehousewithcheryl]

Thanks so much for sharing ♥️

[@GardenloveHomestead]

Thank you for watching and your support. Im glad you enjoyed it 🤗🙂

[@sandieanamaitusuesue6790]

Hi, how often do you fertilize-your fruit trees?

[@ismaelrios9369]

How cold does it get in the winter ? And do you leave it outside under shelter in the winter?

[@GardenloveHomestead]

In the place I put it it does perfectly fine. It doesn't skip a beat. If it didnt have the protection I wouldn't do that well. 🙂🤗

[@sumthngdffrnt]

I didnt see you say if it was grafted or if it was guava from seed. Sorry if you already said. Thank you....

[@GardenloveHomestead]

I purchased this tree from Lowe's it didn't say if it was grafted and from inspecting it, it doesn't look like it was grafted. I think it was from a cutting or it could be from a seed. Sorry, wish I could give you a better answer. Guavas grow great from all the ways, grafted, seeds, and or cuttings.

[@sumthngdffrnt]

@@GardenloveHomestead yeah its cause i have mine in a container and its big and it still has no fruit. Thank you (:

[@ChadGardenSinLA]

Thanks for the tip about direct sun in Southern California. My tropical pink guava has been slow to grow in my south facing lawn. It's been in the ground for two years now. Maybe If it had more shade it'll grow faster? There are trees and shrubs next to it that I can grow out more to provide shade if it needs it. Thanks for the making these videos!

[@GardenloveHomestead]

I'm glad this was helpful. Make sure it has mulch anf the this tree loves water.

[@liliaduran359]

I just got my 2 guava trees, can I put dry broken branches at the bottom of the pot instead of water bottles?

[@GardenloveHomestead]

I would not put broken branches because they hold a lot of moisture. Unless your putting your tree in a big big container.

[@wolfgangdavid8121]

Add a lot of perlite for drainage

[@arielcortez7393]

That's a huge container where did you buy it?

[@penethia2]

The dollar general have them plastic for $20.00

[@erlindajohnson3011]

What dirt did you put I saw 3 different kinda bag ?

[@GardenloveHomestead]

I believe for this tree I use Kellogg soil, worm casting, Sure Start from Eb Stone. I now would use Citrus and Palm soil from EB Stone. Best soil in my opinion. I hope that was helpful. What are you trying to grow?

[@cindygonzalez4578]

What kind of potting is that on the small bags? Thanks

[@GardenloveHomestead]

🤔 i had potting soil from Kellor for trees and veggies, worm castings and Sure start from EB Stone.

[@matthewwisniewski6284]

Gives a update when it sets fruit in the pot 😀

[@GardenloveHomestead]

Matthew Wisniewski guess what it just started to flowers yay... cant wait to taste the fruit

[@jonassx100]

anyone else paused this vieo so many times

[@AniSleepStories]

Great video, thank you! I don't have a guava tree yet, but I hope to soon!

[@LadyGoza]

What size is the barrel pot?

[@GardenloveHomestead]

This container is approximately 25 to 30 gallon container 🤗

[@LadyGoza]

@@GardenloveHomestead Thank you! Also, can you point me to your video on how to make your metal wire & rebar trellis? I can't find it now.

[@GardenloveHomestead]

[@AlexTyson_]

How often do you water it?

[@GardenloveHomestead]

This tree like a lot of water when its hot every day or every other day. winter twice a week. are you growing any fruits or food?

[@AlexTyson_]

@@GardenloveHomestead yes pink guava, but this year the fruit had problems: its scent was completely dull and the taste was flat and not juicy. Perhaps I underwatered it.

[@Gina-yy5fe]

Alex Tyson, maybe you over watered it. Fruits, once set, get sweeter if not watered.

[@dwarikanath1958]

Madam, Pl. state the potting ingredients.

[@GardenloveHomestead]

Hi, I show step by step in the video. Organic potting soil Sure start Worm casting Compost if you have some. 🙂

[@beachbaby7]

I would be concerned about the water bottles leaching dangerous xenoestrogens into the soil and corrupting the roots and fruit.

[@ronalddale7747]

Putting plastic bottles in the container is not a good idea.
