🌞 Light It Right

Feijoas are sun lovers! ☀️

• Full sun = best fruiting and flowering 🔥

• Can handle light shade, but you’ll get less fruit. 😕

Place it where it can soak up that sunshine and grow strong! 💪🌞

💧 Watering Wisdom

• When young: Water regularly to help establish roots 💧🌱

Pro Tip: Mulch around the base to lock in moisture and keep roots cool. 🛏️🍂

✂️ Pruning & Shaping

Feijoas can be grown as trees or shrubs — your choice! 🙌✂️

• Light prune in late winter or early spring to shape

• Remove dead or crossing branches

• You can even hedge them! 🌿🧱

Bonus: Pruning helps more light reach the interior, which = more flowers & fruit! 🌸➡️🥝

🍽️ Feeding Time

Feijoas aren't too hungry, but a little snack helps! 😋

• Reapply every couple of months through the growing season

And don’t forget the compost—happy soil = happy fruit! 🌎❤️
