Finding light for Mango in your home
a window
Mango may have difficulty thriving, and will drop leaves 🍃, without ample sunlight.
Place it less than 3 feet from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.
Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement of Mango in your home 🏡.
How to fertilize Mango
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Mango after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Why is the tip of my mango brown? And how often should I water it? It gets 1-3 hours from morning sunlight, and then 9 hours of growing light. #Mango

Does anybody know what is wrong with my mango plant? I just downloaded this app and I’ve been combing through posts yet I still don’t know what’s wrong with mine😭 it’s leafs were small and droopy at first but they quickly grew yet they’re still droopy and although they’re less brown than they were before they’re still not green. Please help😭🙏

After all, how often watering is recommended for Mango trees? Hey, everyone! I have a mango tree in its early months, and I've seen websites telling me to water it everytime its soil gets dry; however there are other blogs, including this app, telling me to water once a week or around 12 or 15 days. Those whose say to water everytime it's dry argue that a fruit plant needs plenty water and other nutrients to well form its branches and fruits. The others argue that too much water may rot the roots. In what am I supposed to believe? Remember: my plant still is young. Does it need a special treatment in its first months? And then I change the way I take care of it? I appreciate your attention. Greetings from Brazil 💚💛🤗 #Mango

Why does it look like this? I’ve grown this mango since it was a seed and it has always done surprisingly well given my climate region. I do keep it inside and keep it on a good watering schedule (including making sure the soil never completely dries out) however it has started to droop its leaves and they feel really stiff. Please if you have any ideas what is happening or how to fix it tell me 🙏. I did repot it a couple weeks ago ago but it was doing fine until just a couple days ago.

Tips for growing mango I am growing a Tommy Atkinson mango that I hope to get fruit from someday 🤞. I was wondering if anyone had any tips to help it grow a little faster since it has been looking healthy but not producing any new growth recently. I live in climate zone 7a so I feel like I have to keep it inside for like half the year😭 but I try to give it as much sun as possible. Thanks for any help🙏

Just use the seed inside your mango pit! Keep it in a dark moist container and it will sprout!

I think you have to propagate these from a mango (that’s what we did). It was pretty easy and there are instructions on the internet. The leaves apparently have an irritant on them so you shouldn’t touch it.
