Here's how to properly plant your mango tree

Proper pouring

Mango trees are not particularly thirsty plants. It is enough if you water your mango moderately once a week. Make sure to avoid waterlogging in the plant pot, otherwise the roots of your mango will rot. Spray the leaves of your mango once a day with lukewarm water that is low in lime, because it likes high humidity.

Repot the mango tree

Repotting your mango tree is only necessary if the planter is actually too small. Then choose a larger bucket and a deep growing base. Too sandy soil is not suitable for mango trees. A mixture of equal parts of loamy garden soil and compost, on the other hand, is quite suitable.

Cut the mango tree

The mango tree does not need a topiary. But you can encourage it to branch out by pruning early, which will make it look bushier. Dry parts of the plant must be cut out, as well as individual shoots that are too long. It's best to do this during the winter months.

The diseases of the mango tree

Although the mango tree is considered to be quite robust, it is not entirely immune to diseases and pests. Growth disorders can often be remedied with an aluminum sulfate solution from the pharmacy or drugstore.

Brown spots on the leaves indicate sunburn. Provide shade, especially at noon. Black or withered shoots, on the other hand, are mostly caused by spider mites. Rinse them off thoroughly and ensure that the air humidity is sufficiently high in the future.

The most common problems with mango trees:

  • Stunted growth
  • sunburn
  • Spider mites

The mango tree in winter

As a rule, a mango tree does not need hibernation and continues to be watered and fertilized as usual. However, if it gets a cool place to overwinter, it needs a little less water and fertilizer than in the warmer months. This is the case, for example, when it is outside in summer and in the only moderately heated greenhouse or conservatory in winter.
