GIANT ROUND PLANT POTS
We also offer a very competitive range of giant plastic plant pots. These are more specialised and ideal for larger specimen plants, bamboos and trees. They are extremely strong made from recycled black rubberised plastic and are very sturdy. The pots are pre-drilled with drainage holes in the sides and base and are generally wider than they are deep providing the stability required for larger plants. When planted, these pots are left in situ hence no handles.These giant plant pots are available in the following sizes.

Hi Naga,
Thanks for getting in touch, from what I have read, Indian guava should be planted in full sun and in the ground with enough space for roots to spread out over time! I hope this is helpful!
Happy gardening!
