It's now possible to grow small guava trees indoors. Psidium guajava is a dwarf variety of guava that thrives in pots. Under optimal growing conditions, it can even produce several fruits. If you grow your guava tree indoors, in the spring, when it begins to bloom, you'll need to manually pollinate the flowers to encourage fruit formation. To do this, you can use a soft brush and transfer the pollen from one flower to another. It is strongly recommended to provide it with at least 6 hours of sunlight per day and to give it a regular supply of fertilizer.
