Brilio.net - Water guava offers the best eating experience when consumed immediately after being picked. Freshly picked fruit has optimal water content and maximum freshness. The texture of the fruit's skin is also still in ideal condition with a good level of density.
Water apple cultivation can be done independently in the yard using pots or polybags. This plant does not require a large area to grow well. Water apple care is relatively simple because it only requires regular watering for optimal growth.
The generative phase of the water apple plant is marked by the emergence of flowers that are susceptible to falling off. Wind is the main factor causing the fall of water apple flowers. This condition has an impact on reducing the number of fruits produced.
Table salt is often used as a solution to overcome the problem of water apple flower loss. Another alternative method has been shared through the YouTube channel Despry Grafting using different kitchen ingredients. The fertilizer used not only stimulates flower growth but also prevents loss until the flowers successfully become fruit.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Despry Grafting on Wednesday (11/13), the kitchen ingredients used are MSG and sweet soy sauce. Not only that, YouTube user Despry Grafting also uses headache medicine. For the brand, you can use any headache medicine that contains paracetamol.
First, prepare a container containing 500 ml of clean water. Then add 1 tbsp of MSG into it, stir until dissolved. Also add 1 small sachet of sweet soy sauce. Then stir until evenly mixed.

Next, add 1 sachet of powdered headache medicine. If using tablets, you can crush them until smooth first so that the medicine can easily dissolve in water. After that, stir all the ingredients again until evenly mixed.

Transfer this liquid fertilizer into a used bottle that has been cleaned. Then close the bottle and let it sit for 1 week to ferment. Once fermented, this liquid fertilizer is ready to use.
In the video, YouTube user Despry Grafting is about to apply it to a water apple tree planted in a pot. In order for the flowers to grow quickly, he scrapes the lower trunk of the guava tree. Make sure the outer skin is peeled off, okay?

Then apply the liquid fertilizer directly to the layer of the trunk that has been scraped off the skin. This process will help stimulate flower growth on the guava tree, even if it is only planted in a pot. So the liquid fertilizer is not poured onto the soil, yes, but must be applied to the exposed trunk.
Fertilize like once a month. And within that 1 month, the water apple tree will immediately grow flowers. There are even some flowers that have turned directly into fruit.
"Likewise, the leaves are very dark green. I did it based on repeated application experiences. And it has been proven, plants as small as this can already bear fruit," said YouTube Despry Grafting.
