One last thing..aside from watering over/under... there's another issue, depending on the var.: Even though you're in Ca, and we're not in the land of torrential rain, it's good to know this for the winter/spring in your area...Some Guavas don't like rainwater, and it can damage the foliage. Beaumont Red, Mexican Cream and Feijoa Sellowiana are just a few that aren't crazy about rain. Cattleia (sp?) Red and Lemon are both very comfortable with any amounts of rain. One thing that they all need lots of though is sunlight. They will brown and drop leaves quickly if they have too much shade. I hope you figured it out one way or another.
