Tropical Fruit Discussion / San Diego Mango Seedling (fall & winter care)
« on: November 13, 2018, 03:34:15 PM »
Hello All,
I've got about 35-40 mango seedlings that I started between June-Sept this year. This is my first time growing mango seedlings. Mix of ataulfo, kent, keitt and haiti.
The temps here have started dipping down to high 40's to low 50's at night. We are getting Santa Ana winds currently so the daytime temps are up in the low 80's.
Should I continue to water or are they considered to be in a dormant stage now that the night time temps are low?
Once winter is in full swing and the day time highs are in the mid 60's should I still water weekly? They are in self made 18" tall pots now to encourage tap root growth.
I'm a little more confused now more than ever because their growth has slowed way down and a few of the seedlings have developed brown spots and some even spread to the entire leaf.
Thanks in advance guys.
