Are mango trees hardy?
Since the mango tree originates from the tropics, it is not hardy and does not tolerate frost. He loves the heat and a high humidity. It is therefore not suitable for cultivation in the garden.
However, mango trees can be perfectly planted in the tub and then beautify your balcony or patio during the summer months. Overnight, however, you can only stay outside when the icy saints are over and the temperatures do not drop below 15 ° C. He does not like cold winds at all. For the winter your mango tree needs a bright and reasonably warm place.
How do you overwinter a mango tree?
Your mango tree prefers wintering in summery temperatures and high humidity. If he is still small, it is best to put him in the kitchen or in the bathroom. There he finds almost ideal climate. The older he gets, the better he can handle cooler times. Then he may be too big for these rooms and you have to look for another winter place for him.
From the second year, your mango tree can overwinter in the conservatory or in the heated greenhouse. But even here the temperatures should not fall below 15 ° C. Make sure your mango tree gets enough light. If the room is too dark, then provide artificial lighting. You may be able to create so-called daylight lamps, which donate ideal light for plants.
If your mango tree is wintering cool, pour it slightly less than in summer. He also needs fertilizer to a lesser extent, because he will not grow so fast. On the other hand, if it is warm, at temperatures above 20 ° C, then pour and fertilize your mango tree as well as in summer.
