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.
