How to take care of a mango tree in winter
Q: I bought a mango tree for my husband for Christmas, and we are having kind of a butting of heads on how to take care of it. I personally feel that he has over-watered and over-fertilized. Any advice how to take care of a mango tree in winter?
A: We're happy to help you with your mango tree. It sounds like you're facing some common issues, and we'll guide you through the best care practices, especially for winter.
Watering.
During winter, mango trees need minimal watering. Overwatering can cause
root rot, especially when temperatures are low. Water the tree only when the
soil feels dry about 2 inches deep.
Fertilizing.
Avoid feeding in the winter with dry fertilizer. It may cause root burn,
plus encourages new growth that is more susceptible to cold damage. Wait until
spring when the weather warms up to resume heavy feeding your tree. You can
continue using Sunshine Boosters natural liquid fertilizers - Sunshine Mango Tango: it is safe to apply year around since its intake
is regulated by reduced water, and only the necessary amount of essential
elements will be delivered.
Temperature Protection.
Mango trees are sensitive to cold. If you live in a region with
freezing temperatures, move your mango tree indoors or to a sheltered location like
a garage with a bright light source. If it's in a small container, consider
bringing it inside for the winter.
Sunlight.
Ensure the tree gets as much sunlight as possible. If indoors, place it
near a South-facing window where it can soak up the sun during the day.
Check for Pests.
Winter can bring pests indoors. Regularly inspect the tree for any
signs of insect problems around the leaves and stems.
By following these guidelines, your mango tree will be healthier and better prepared for the next growing season.

Practical advice on propagation and harvest- for the previous post 👆
- 🍑 Propagation and mycorrhiza
- 💋 Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and plant roots. In a Lychee orchard, mycorrhiza plays a crucial role by enhancing the nutrient uptake of lychee trees, particularly phosphorus, leading to better growth and fruit production, especially in soils with low phosphorus availability.
- 💋Lychee trees are typically propagated by air layering, as they cannot be propagated effectively by seeds or grafting.
- 💋Lychee seedlings do not grow well because they require a special mycorrhizal environment that, in nature, is only provided under a mature mother tree. This dependency on mycorrhiza explains why lychee seedlings lack vigor and cannot serve as rootstocks for grafting.
- 💋If you have tried growing lychee from seed, you may have noticed that the seedling, after reaching a few inches in height, often stops growing or even shows signs of retarded growth. This is a clear indication of a lack of mycorrhiza.
- 💋The easiest way to have a healthy, productive Lychee tree, is to obtain a quality, air-layered tree from a reputable source.
🍑 Alternate Bearing in Lychee Trees
- 💋 Lychee trees often produce fruit every other year due to "alternate bearing", where the tree focuses on a heavy crop one year, leaving less energy for fruiting the next.
- 💋This cycle is influenced by weather, tree variety, and how flower buds develop alongside the current year's fruit. For example, "Mauritius" trees may bear fruit annually, while "Brewster" trees may produce a good crop only every 3-4 years.
By considering these factors and providing appropriate care, you can enjoy the beauty and bounty of a lychee tree in your garden.

How to protect tropical plants in Winter

- Winter Care Tips for Tropical Plants
- · Cut watering: Reduce watering to prevent root rot. Cold + wet = dead roots.
- · Water before frost: Thirsty plants are more vulnerable. Water them before a cold night to prevent damage.
- · Wind protection: Wind is more harmful than temperature drops. Plant near structures like houses or trees for shelter.
- · Prepare for long cold periods: If cold weather lasts for hours, use all available protection, including Christmas lights and propane heaters.
- · Don't use dry fertilizer in winter: Heavy fertilizing encourages tender growth, which is more susceptible to cold damage. Sunshine Boosters liquid fertilizers are safe to use year around as their intake is controlled by reduced watering.
- · Use fabric covers, not plastic: Plastic can cook plants in the sun, while fabric allows better ventilation.
- Prepare for Cold Nights:
- · Wrap plants: On cold nights, cover individual plants or trees with sheets or blankets to shield them from wind chill.
- · Use Christmas lights: A simple string of lights can add extra warmth, protecting your plants during frosty nights.
- · Use propane heaters: For added warmth in a larger area, place a propane heater near your plants. Make sure to follow safety guidelines and keep the heater at a safe distance from flammable materials. This can help maintain a few extra degrees of warmth, especially in more open garden spaces or temporary greenhouses. Always ensure proper ventilation to avoid harmful gas buildup.
- · Affordable winter greenhouse: For large plant collections, you don't need an expensive greenhouse. A mobile carport with plastic or fabric covering, costing around $200, can house up to 100 plants!
- Key Factors for Survival:
- · Cold duration: Tropical plants can survive brief cold spells but long durations, even above freezing, can be deadly.
- · Wind-chill: Wind chill can be harsher than the temperature itself.
- · Exposure: Southern-facing slopes hold heat longer, making them ideal for your plants.
- · Humidity: Proximity to lakes or oceans can create a milder micro-climate.
- · Gradual temperature Drops are safer. Plants adjust better to slow temperature changes than sudden cold blasts. Gradual cooling allows plants to prepare, reducing the risk of damage.
Strengthen Plant Hardiness:
· Health and maturity: Well-established, healthy plants are more cold-hardy.- · Boost plant immunity: Use products like SUNSHINE-Epi to improve cold resistance. Apply it before and during cold snaps to protect your plants.
- · Healthy plant is hardy. Make sure to fertilize your plants on regular basis - healthier and stronger plants are more cold hardy
