What To Do Now for Your Mango Trees! Soil Amendments & Fertilizers 

These are fertilizers and amendments that we sell. If you do not live in our area, 7 Springs Farm Supply carries many types of fertilizers and amendments ... and can ship them to you. Or check farm suppliers in your area.

Do you mean as far as fertilizer? If it's small and just planted, really you do not want to fertilize it. Wait at least a month before fertilizing any recently planted mango tree and very small trees like ones that come in 3 gallon pots do not generally need fertilizer for some time. When and if you do fertilize a young mango tree, an easy fertilizer to find that works well is palm tree fertilizer. After the first year or two in the ground though you probably do not want to add fertilizers containing much if any nitrogen.

It is difficult to provide detailed recommendations as different sellers have different instructions for use on their fertilizers and amendments based on factors such as quick release or slow release fertilizer, etc. We have posted a number of videos with our good friend and expert Har who describes many guidelines for successful fertilizing mango trees. You can find many of these by searching RU-vid for "Truly Tropical" and the topic you are interested in, such as "Fertilizer". Below are a couple of the videos to get you started! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YznnrvmLfuE.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iMa-8cw8nEg.html

Thanks! I have viewed them and they have provided general guidance. I understand that there are going to be variances among products and situations. My mango trees have never done so well since I started with your fertilizers and recommendations. Always trying to get a little better.

Like many companies, Fox Farm soil company makes a number of different soil blends, so it’s difficult to make a blanket statement recommending using one or another companies’ products for growing mango trees. However, it is not difficult to inexpensively make your own mango tree potting soil. There are a few recipes you can find online that all follow a similar mix. In general, a blend of approximately 30% pre-prepared or store-bought compost, with 30% sand or perlite for drainage, and 40% mulch/peat moss to hold moisture should work well. These are approximations that you can vary depending on such factors as expected rain fall/watering. Worm castings should be fine to add to your mix. Many growers believe that using worm castings in the soil for their mango trees promotes healthy growth, a larger, stronger plant with better flowering and fruit production.
