Sunlight and Climate Needs
The Mango tree is a sun-loving plant requiring significant light for optimal health and fruiting.
- Sunlight: Plant in a location that receives full and direct sunlight, ideally 6 to 8 hours per day.
- Air Circulation: Good air movement around the foliage helps prevent fungal diseases.
Watering and Soil
Proper soil and irrigation are essential, especially for young grafted plants.
- Soil: Use rich, loamy, well-draining soil to prevent root rot.
- Watering: Water regularly and deeply when the top layer of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, especially during the non-fruiting season or monsoon.
