My mango tree? :(? I have a matured mango tree growing surrounded by my living...
I have a matured mango tree growing surrounded by my living room. I have notice that alot of the new growth (leaves) solely grow so much, about (2 1/2 3 inches) and they start to turn brown and die. There is also a waxy close to substance all around the stem and down the underpinning of the stalk. What is this and why is it on the plant?
I have planted it surrounded by tropical dirt cause it is a tropical plant and I hose it with reheat water to simulate its raw enviroment and it gets lots of sun but not too much coil; I followed all the instructions...so what am I doing wrong? Why do the leaves maintain dying?
Any help or tips would be appreciated. :)
Answers: I'm not a mango tree or tree expert by any stretch, but I do live within the southwest and have lived within the tropics in times gone by and am familiar near many tropical types of trees. One point I do know about abundant of the tropical fruit trees (like limes, oranges, grapefruits, etc) is that they do have to acquire a lot of sunlight. They thrive contained by hot weather. Sounds like you enjoy that under control. I also know that you hold to water them regularly and preserve them well drained (in other words don't preserve the tree in a puddle of water). Make sure you fertilize it.
It sounds close to your main problem may be near molds (sooty molds are common on these types of trees), these molds not one and only grow on the fruits and leaves but also on the base of the tree and they can even grown sidewalks close to the trees (if they are planted outside on the street).
You may want to contact the nursery where the plant come from, they may give you the best tips on fertilizing, watering and keeping molds (and other ailments) contained by check.
Well when i lived in Florida my domestic had two mango trees and the leaves never died. But i devise you should move it outside where it can hold sunlight water and twist without you doing so much.
