I've had my mango tree for 5 years, and it's quite special to me since I grew it from a seed that produced 5 shoots, although only 2 survived. It's gotten pretty large now, but it looks like it's struggling because it's still in a pot. Unfortunately, I can't plant it in the ground, so I'm looking for advice on how to care for it properly.

Make sure to repot your mango tree into the biggest container you can find, using well-draining soil. When watering, go for deep watering when the top layer of soil feels dry. Don’t forget to use a fruit tree fertilizer during the growing season! With a bit of extra care, mangoes can do surprisingly well in pots!
Are you looking to get fruit from your tree or just using it as decoration? Keep in mind that mango trees from seed can be quite fibrous, so they might not produce the best fruit. It’s awesome to grow things from seeds, but it’s something to consider. Also, congratulations on getting your mango in just 3.5 years! That's impressive!
