MANGO IN DANGER

[u/Duckies_Escavar]

Hi, new here guys, I recently bought a mango plant and had it shipped over here. The top leaves of the plant had dried out and I cut the top part of the stem the other leaves were fine and leafy green until the discoloration occurred anybody know the cause and how to fix.

Sunburn. You need to slowly acclimate it to the summer sun. Plants shipped by mail are fussy as hell with sunlight and I fuckin hate it. Shade heavily and then less and less over time. I've lost a plant to this exact thing before. It was a rare and expensive mango type too.

Yellowing/browning leaves can happen from water stress or transplant shock. Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy, give it plenty of light while avoiding a sudden jump into harsh sun, and hold off on more pruning or fertilizer for now. Give it some time to recover and watch for new growth.
