Guava culture from cuttings with watermelon: Easy method to grow a goyave plant

Guava is a fruit appreciated for its sweet and refreshing flavour. However, buying guava plants can sometimes be expensive. Fortunately, it is possible to grow goyaviers from cuttings, and even using watermelons as a growth medium. Here is a simple way to grow your own goyave plant at home.

Materials required:

• Guava buds
• Mature watermelon
• Land
• Flower pot
• Watering

Steps to follow:

1. Select a ripe watermelon and cut it in half. Remove the pulp from the watermelon, making sure to leave some flesh close to the skin to prevent it from breaking down too quickly.

2. Take guava cuttings from an existing plant. Choose healthy branches and cut them at an angle of 45 degrees. The cuttings must be about 15 cm long.

3. Plant the guava cuttings in the gutted watermelon. Soak them slightly in the remaining flesh to ensure a good hold.

4. Fill the flower pot with soil and place the watermelon with the guava cuttings in the pot. Make sure the cuttings are in good contact with the soil.

5. Water the soil slightly to keep it moist, but avoid excess water that could rot the cuttings. Place the pot in a sunny place.

6. Monitor soil moisture regularly and water when necessary. Guava cuttings should start taking root in the watermelon and develop into guava plants.

7. After a few weeks, you can transplant guava plants into individual pots to promote their growth. Make sure to water them regularly and provide them with suitable fertilizer.

By following these simple steps, you can easily grow guava plants from cuttings using watermelon as a growth medium. Enjoy your own goyaviers at home and enjoy fresh and delicious fruit throughout the year!
