DÉTAILS

Instructions d'entretien
Chilean guava requires moderate temperatures and bright, indirect light for optimal growth. It thrives in environments with moderate humidity and should be watered regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. The plant can be grown both indoors and outdoors, making it versatile for different settings.
Récolte
Ugni molinae, commonly known as Chilean guava, is typically harvested in late summer to early autumn when the berries are fully ripe and have developed their characteristic deep red color. The berries should be picked by hand to avoid damaging the delicate fruit. It is important to harvest regularly to ensure the best quality and to prevent overripe fruit from falling to the ground. The plant prefers a temperate climate and should be grown in well-drained soil with adequate moisture. Regular pruning is recommended to maintain the shrub's shape and to promote healthy growth.
Sol
Ugni molinae prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A soil mix that includes organic matter will help provide the necessary nutrients and drainage. Ensure the soil pH is slightly acidic to neutral for best results.
Engrais
Fertilize the plant with a balanced fertilizer, such as a 5-10-10 N-P-K formula, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to support healthy growth and berry production.
Rempotage
Repot the Chilean guava every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the previous one and ensure it has good drainage. Repotting is best done in the spring before the growing season begins.
Propagation
Propagate Ugni molinae through semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Dip the cuttings in rooting hormone and plant them in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the cuttings in a humid environment until they establish roots.
Taille
Prune the plant in late winter or early spring to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Remove any dead or damaged branches and thin out crowded areas to improve air circulation. Regular pruning helps keep the plant healthy and productive.
Toxicité
Ugni molinae is not toxic to pets or humans. The berries are edible and often used in culinary applications. However, as with any plant, it is advisable to monitor pets and children to prevent excessive consumption.
Supplémentaire
Chilean guava is known for its aromatic berries, which can be used in jams, jellies, and desserts. The plant can also be grown as an ornamental shrub due to its attractive foliage and flowers. Regular care and maintenance will ensure a healthy and productive plant.
