Expert Response
Mangos are a tropical plant that requires temperatures of 60-90 degrees. It can be outside through the summer and must be brought indoors in the fall. When indoors place in a south facing window for the best light. To determine need for water place your finger into the soil 1”. If it is dry water thoroughly. Fertilize from spring to early fall. It is not likely the plant will bear fruit but will be fun to try.
