Growing Pineapple Guava indoors

Posted by kurite 5 (workoutguy123@yahoo.com) on

Hi
just wondering if this is possible. I have an east facing window which gets about 2 hours of direct light and 2-3 hours indirect light. Is this enough? Also is a 50/50 peat moss/perlite mix okay to use?
Thanks

link below says full sun outdoors .. 2 hours indoors [from the weak sunned east] is not even close ... so at a minimum.. supplemental light would be requisite ...

then.. if you have a forced air furnace.. humidity would be another issue ...

then soil/potting media ... such for trees needs to be faster draining .... which some peat mixes are not ...

and then if you get past all that.. the fact that it can grow 15+ feet ...

should you try.. sure.. why not... what are you going to lose??? 25$

good luck

You'll also need at least two plants to ensure a good crop of fruit. A single pineapple guava will have a few fruits, but the more pineapple guavas the merrier when it comes to fruit production. It takes two to tango.
