Planting & Gardening Instructions
-
Location: Choose a sunny location with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by digging a hole slightly larger than the root ball. Mix in well-rotted compost or manure to improve soil fertility and drainage.

Planting: Gently place the grafted mango tree in the hole, ensuring the graft union is above the soil level. Back-fill with soil, firming gently.
-
Spacing: Allow adequate space between trees, typically 20-30 feet, for proper growth and air circulation.
Watering
Water the tree deeply and regularly, especially during the initial establishment phase and during dry periods. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.
Fertilizers
Apply a balanced fertilizer rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium during the growing season. Follow the fertilizer instructions carefully. Organic fertilizers like compost and manure can also be beneficial.
Repotting Instructions
Repotting may be necessary for container-grown trees when they become root-bound. Choose a slightly larger pot and use well-draining potting mix.
