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😭🙏
1ft to light, direct
7” pot with drainage

It looks fine, don't worry! The brown [actually more orange] is due to a antioxidant called anthocyanin [the antioxidant in red, blue and purple fruits]. It helps protect the developing leaf from sun damage. The droopiness just seems like a natural growth habit. In singapore you'll see a lot of mango trees. If the previous few days are sunny, they'll appear like this. Yours has gorgeously big leaves, amazing!
I'd watch the heater tho [your card says it's near one]. The heater causes lower humidity, which is not ideal. Mangoes should have higher humidity. Either take humidifying actions [not misting, best is a cloche], or move the heater coz the window is for your plants and your heater has no right to be there /s
@Araceae okay, thank you! I’ll look into a cloche although I’ve also heard that pebble trays are good idk😂🙏
@Mangotango in the sun and near a heater, the pebble tray would evaporate too fast. I won't suggest that. Just a cloche will work
