I'm curious if anyone has successfully grown mango trees indoors. If I manage to create the perfect conditions, like humidity, full-spectrum grow lights, and get the watering and soil just right, is it really possible? Has anyone done this before? What else should I consider to make it happen?

Keep in mind that mango trees can get pretty big! You'll need to give them enough space to grow, or consider pruning them as they mature. Also, most mangoes grown from seeds may not yield great fruit since they're often not the same variety as the commercial ones. It’s better to look for grafted trees if you're aiming for good fruit production.
Absolutely, you can grow mango trees indoors! I’ve got one that I’ve been nursing back to health, and it spent the winter in my bathtub. It had one growth flush and just started another one! Plus, I have another mango tree inside that flowered and even set fruit. Just make sure you give it plenty of light and the right care, and you should be good!
This is very cool!
I agree that it may not produce great fruit, as commercial fruits are often bred to produce infertile seeds.
