Amazing way to grow Guava tree cutting in a Banana

  1. Insert the Cutting:
    • Dip the cut end of the guava branch in rooting hormone (optional, but it increases success).
    • Insert the cutting into the slit in the banana, ensuring it is snugly embedded.
  2. Plant the Combination:
    • Fill a pot with well-draining soil.
    • Plant the banana with the guava cutting into the soil, burying it about 1–2 inches deep.
    • Firmly press the soil around the banana to hold it in place.
  3. Create a Humid Environment:
    • Optionally, cover the cutting with a plastic bag or bottle to retain humidity. Ensure there is some ventilation to prevent mold.
  4. Water and Care:
    • Water the soil to keep it moist but not soggy.
    • Place the pot in a warm, bright location with indirect sunlight.
    • Monitor regularly for root development, which can take 4–6 weeks.

Why It Works:

Bananas are rich in potassium and other nutrients that promote rooting. The moisture in the banana helps keep the cutting hydrated.

Transplanting:

Once the guava cutting establishes roots, carefully transplant it into a larger pot or directly into the ground. Continue to water and care for it as it grows into a healthy guava tree!
