Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

Sunlight: Full sun—6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily to encourage robust flowering and heavy fruit set.

Watering: Moderate. Deeply water when the top 2–3 inches of soil are dry. Maintain consistent moisture through bloom and early fruit development, then reduce slightly as fruit matures.

Soil: Well‑draining sandy or loamy soil enriched with compost or organic matter. Avoid waterlogged or clay‑heavy areas.

Fertilizer: Apply a mango‑specific fertilizer 3–4 times annually. During flowering and fruit set, supplement with potassium and micro‑elements like zinc to support fruit size and flavor.
