In order to avoid waterlogging, make sure there is water drainage and a good drainage layer in the plant pot. Since the mango forms very deep tap roots, the planter should be as high as possible. To do this, place a few pottery shards or larger stones over the drainage hole in the bucket. Only then do you fill the potting soil into the pot and plant the mango a.

In contrast to many other plants, the mango does not need hibernation. That is why it is evenly watered and fertilized all year round. It is enough if you water your mango once a week. But you should spray their leaves with lukewarm water daily.
The perfect irrigation water
Mango trees need soft, lime-free water. This applies not only to the irrigation water but also to the regular, if possible daily spraying of the plants. Calcareous water could form asphyxiating deposits and lead to unsightly limescale stains on the leaves of the plant.
You can inquire about the calcium content of your tap water from your water provider or determine it yourself with the help of a test strip. If there is too much lime in it, you can filter the water or let it sit for at least a week to reduce the amount of lime, or you can use rainwater instead.
Obtain low-lime water:
- Filter tap water
- Let the water sit for at least a week
- Use rainwater
Tips & Tricks
Water your mango tree only moderately, but spray it daily with water that is low in lime, it prefers dry roots and a high level of humidity.
