Mango Plant Growth & Care Instructions
🌱 1. Planting Location
Choose a sunny spot with at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Ensure well-drained soil (avoid waterlogging).
Maintain 10–15 feet spacing from other trees or structures.
🌿 2. Soil Preparation
Use fertile, well-draining soil (loamy soil preferred).
Mix garden soil with compost or well-rotted cow dung before planting.
Ideal soil pH: 5.5–7.5.
💧 3. Watering
Water regularly after planting (2–3 times a week for young plants).
Avoid overwatering; soil should be moist, not soggy.
Reduce watering during winter and rainy season.
🌞 4. Fertilization
Apply organic compost every 2–3 months.
Use balanced NPK fertilizer during the growing season for better growth and fruiting.
✂️ 5. Pruning
Remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches.
Light pruning helps maintain shape and improves air circulation.
🌼 6. Flowering & Fruiting
Grafted plants may start fruiting in 2–3 years with proper care.
Avoid heavy fertilization during flowering.
🛡️ 7. Pest & Disease Care
Check regularly for pests like aphids or mealybugs.
Use neem oil spray or organic pesticides if needed.
