This is an interesting and economical method for growing these magnificent fruit trees. In this article, we will explain how to grow guavas from guava leaves. 1. Choose Healthy Guava Leaves First, make sure you choose healthy guava leaves. Fresh, disease-free leaves are essential for this process to be successful. You can take leaves from a healthy guava tree in your own garden or ask a friend or neighbor if you can get some. 2. Prepare the Cuttings Once you have your guava leaves, cut them into pieces about 6 to 8 inches long. Make sure you cut the leaves so that you retain some of the stem of each leaf, as this is where the roots will develop. You can cut the leaves at an angle to make rooting easier. 3. Rooting the Cuttings Place the guava leaf cuttings in a pot filled with well-draining potting soil. It’s important to ensure the soil is sufficiently moist but not soggy. You can add a little rooting hormone to improve the chances of success. Keep the pot in partial shade for a few weeks, making sure the soil remains moist. You’ll need to be patient, as rooting can take several weeks or even months.
