Troubleshooting Mango Seedling Leaf Browning

Mango seedlings develop long taproots and need deep pots. Browning lower leaves often indicate root restriction or waterlogging.

Fixes

• Transplant to deeper containers (12+ inches) with excellent drainage.
• Water thoroughly but allow top inch to dry between waterings.
• Ensure pots have ample drain holes; never let sit in saucers of water.

In central Florida, select cold-tolerant mango varieties. Plants may die back in winter but resprout in spring if roots survive.
