Essential Care Guide

Sunlight and Climate Needs

Mango plants are tropical and require adequate sun exposure for optimal growth and fruit production.

• Sunlight: Choose a location that receives full and direct sunlight (at least 6-8 hours a day) for best results.
• Climate: Thrives in the hot and humid conditions of Indian climates.

Watering and Soil

Young, grafted plants require careful watering to establish their root system.

• Soil: Plant in well-draining soil, ideally a loamy or sandy-loam mix.
• Watering: Water regularly and deeply when the top layer of soil (1-2 inches) feels dry to the touch, reducing frequency during the flowering/fruiting season to encourage better yields. Avoid waterlogging.
• Fertilization: Use a balanced fruit tree fertilizer during the active growing seasons.

The secure paper core packing method used for shipping ensures the plant is protected and well-ventilated during transit, ensuring you receive a healthy, genuine variety plant.
