Yes, it’s possible — and surprisingly simple! Follow these quick steps to turn guava leaves into future fruit-bearing trees.
Pick Healthy Leaves
Choose mature, unblemished guava leaves — they’re your best bet for success!
Cut into Sections
Trim each leaf into 4–6 inch pieces, making sure each piece has a strong central vein.
Boost with Rooting Hormone (Optional)
Dip the cut end in rooting hormone to encourage faster and stronger root development.
Plant in Well-Draining Soil
Insert the cut end into moist, loose soil — just deep enough to keep it stable.
Create a Humid Environment
Cover the pot with a clear plastic bag or dome to trap humidity (but leave some ventilation!).
Wait & Care
Place the pot in warm, indirect sunlight. Keep the soil slightly moist — not soggy.
Transplant with Care
Once roots have developed (in a few weeks), transplant into a larger pot or your garden!
This method takes patience, but growing guava from leaves is a fun, sustainable way to multiply your plants. Happy propagating! ![]()
