Water
Water consistently, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering during winter months. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Overwatering is a common cause of problems.
Mangifera austroindica is a species of flowering plant in the family Anacardiaceae. Native to Southeast Asia, it produces edible fruit.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering during winter months. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Overwatering is a common cause of problems.
Prune to shape the tree and remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done after fruiting or in late winter before new growth begins to encourage flowering and fruiting.
Mangifera austroindica is typically propagated by grafting or budding onto suitable rootstock. Seed propagation is possible but often results in offspring that do not resemble the parent fruit.
Grafting ensures desirable traits.
Repot young trees every 2-3 years, or when root-bound, usually in spring. Mature trees require less frequent repotting. Use a well-draining potting mix. Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the previous one.
