The pineapple guava from Brazil tolerates slightly below zero temperatures. However, since winter temperatures in this country often fall below minus five degrees, you should winter the myrtle plant indoors to be on the safe side.

How to overwinter your pineapple guava

  • Winter temperatures between 0 and 5 degrees
  • Very bright
  • Cut back before storing
  • Check for pests and diseases

Bright hallways, unheated conservatories, garages and garden sheds with large windows are well suited as winter quarters.

Rooms that are too dark should also be illuminated with vegetation spotlights.

Water little and do not fertilize

Water the plant sparingly during the winter break. Only when the root ball is dry at the top does the pineapple guava need some water. Fertilizer is not used in the winter quarters.

After the winter break, slowly get used to the outdoors

Bring the pineapple guava out of hibernation in spring. Only put them in the sun for a few hours for the first few days.

tips and tricks

Before you get the pineapple guava out of winter quarters, you should cut a few cuttings. New plants can be grown from these.
