Mango Planting Technology in Hunan

1. Lighting

Mango is a positive tree species. Adequate sunlight is conducive to the plant's photosynthesis and promotes nutrient accumulation. The sunny side of the plant will bloom early and bear more fruits. The color of the fruit will be brighter and the sweetness will be higher.

2. Temperature

Mango likes to grow in a high temperature environment. The optimum growth temperature is 24-27℃. The ambient temperature should not exceed 37℃ or be lower than 15℃, otherwise the fruit will develop slowly.

3. Soil

Mango is not very demanding on soil and can be grown in all areas except saline-alkali land. However, it requires deep soil and good drainage because it is a deep-rooted plant.
