Guava (Psidium guajava)

Meet the Guava – your tropical daydream in a pot. With its lush green leaves and fragrant presence, this beauty brings laid-back island vibes to any space. It’s the kind of plant that quietly makes your kitchen or balcony feel like a breezy veranda somewhere warm and far away.

Guava is surprisingly easygoing. Give it lots of sunlight and keep the soil lightly moist, and it’ll reward you with fast growth and, if you're lucky, sweet, edible fruit! Just don’t let it dry out completely. Think of it like a chill friend who still needs a little TLC.
