Mango leaf troubles

Hello! Iโ€™ve been growing a mango from a seed since this summer, very proud of it. Unfortunately, Iโ€™ve been noticing its leaves have been drying out a bit, and I was wondering if anyone might have some ideas what might be going wrong with it. It typically lives outside (Florida) but this cold wave has pushed it onto the shelf out of reach of the cat. Any help would be appreciated, have a great day!
2ft to light, direct
7โ€ pot with drainage
Last watered 4 months ago
Seems like some sort of fungal or leave rot, definitely remove and throw the leaves out and just start using neem oil as a preventative until you figure more if it out.

I would suggest checking the rots for signs of rot but probably wait it out until it gets a bit warmer

Hope that helps ๐ŸŒฑ
@GardenCat43 do you know a good way to check the roots? This is my first soil based plant, my others are orchids so Iโ€™m still learning the ins and outs of ones that are in the dirt
@WiredSandwort usually a clear plastic pot would help in this case but do check for mold growth and use effective anti fuguals for it
@WiredSandwort you will have to remove it from the pot and shake out the soil to see the roots which is why I recommend waiting for warmer weather
