So I've had this mango sapling for arround three months and when autumn started here in Buenos Aires, Argentina it started decaying just as you are going to see in my photos. It grew for arround one month and it looked really healthy but nowdays it's leaves are becoming brown and I don't know what else to do. It was outside but the cold weather as I read online makes everything worse so now it's inside my house and 1.5m away from a window.Please HELP!
This was the plant before autumn
probably needs more heat and moisture and sunlight and a bigger potbasically you're doing nothing right but i could be wrong
>>5130929Where am I suppoused to get more heat if it's inside where it's warmer? Soil is moist as all my other plants and it's planted in a fairly big pot to be honest (around 30cm in diameter and 90cm in depth)
>>5130942Mango is tropical it needs very high heat. if that's not possible at least direct sunlight for all day. 1.5m is too far from window. pot actually looks big enough, for now. by moisture i meant like relative humidity of which houses tend to be lower, not water in soil. in fact that soil looks too dense and moist and it needs some perlite. in fact it likely needs nutrients too. I'd repot her in new soil that has worm casting and vermiculte and perlite , maybe cut off the lowermost dying leaves (not more than half). and pray. shit looks grim but not finitio
>>5130915it's hard to tell because there isn't enough detail of the leaves in the first photo, but another possibility is a thrips infestation. look up "thrips infestation" and see if that matches the situation with your plant.the growth tip doesn't look that good though. good luck saving it.
>>5130915Might be magnesium deficiency. Plants need the same stuff humans need (for the most part). Check magnesium, zinc, calcium, ph balance in the water, etc.
I've never successfully grown mango from seeds, they always die on me
>>5130942Ir bulbs.
Hope for the best but it doesn't look that good haha. This is how I repotted it
>>5131049Oh boy I love that chicken.I wonder what kind it is.
>>5130915>it's inside my house and 1.5m away from a windowmangoes need huge amounts of light. think about the fact that you will go blind if you look at the sun. that's what the plant wants for hours everyday and all you're giving it is interior home lighting
>>5131088Looks good man. notice how there are some moisture beads collecting on the bottom, that is very good. NOW: either put it where it can get direct sun for the majority of the day or get an IR lamp, all that work is for nothing if you dont get her sun and especially heat. also poke some drainage holes at the bottom, water often but not too much and make sure its draining properly. also, consider getting another half-plastic dome and put it over the top for her to retain moisture and heat, greenhouse effect. make sure you keep on top of nutrients, consider getting some fish fertilizer. keep an eye on that tiny spot at the top where new leaves will grow, that is where you will see if she comes back to life or not. also speak nice words to her
