Taking care of a mango tree involves providing the right environment, watering, and feeding it appropriately, especially if it's grown in a pot.
Mango Tree Care Guide
Here's a breakdown of how to properly care for your mango tree:
Temperature and Environment
- Ideal Temperature: Keep the temperature around your mango tree at 21°C (70°F).
- Minimum Temperature: Ensure the temperature doesn't drop below 4°C (40°F).
- Indoor Trees: If your mango tree is indoors, mist it regularly to maintain humidity.
Watering
- Pot-Grown Trees: Water when the top few inches of the compost in the pot has dried out. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
Feeding
- Pot-Grown Trees: Feed pot-grown mango trees once a month with a liquid feed during the growing season (typically spring and summer). This provides the necessary nutrients for healthy growth and fruit production.
