How to grow a mango bonsai? These care tips you need to master

Soil

Mango potted plants are not demanding about soil; sandy soil with good drainage and air permeability is enough. Although very fertile soil can also be used for planting, it will affect fruiting.

Sunlight

Mango loves sunlight very much. Sufficient sunlight helps increase its flower count and fruit yield, and also makes the plant grow more robust. If it is kept indoors without sunlight for a long time, even if it can bear fruit, the fruit will be very poor.

Temperature

Mango also likes a warm environment very much and fears severe cold. The temperature suitable for mango growth is between 18°C and 35°C, among which the optimal temperature for branch and leaf growth is between 24°C and 29°C, and the optimal temperature for fruit growth must be above 20°C. The minimum winter temperature must not be lower than 15°C.

Water

Mango is relatively drought-tolerant. Especially after flower buds appear, the soil should be kept on the dry side, and the environment should also be on the dry side. After mango blooms, until the fruit ripens, it needs a large amount of water to sustain it; at this time, the soil and air should be kept moist, which is very beneficial for mango flowering and fruiting.

Fertilizing

Just follow the principle of light fertilizer applied frequently. At the flowering stage, increase the amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer and reduce nitrogen fertilizer.

Ventilation

Mango potted plants are suitable for growing in a well-ventilated environment. Poor ventilation can cause various pests and diseases.

Overwintering

In winter, it must be kept in a sunny place. It is very prone to frostbite, and the winter temperature must not be lower than 15°C.

While enjoying the view, you can also eat mangoes you grew with your own hands, which must be very pleasant.
