growing mango in container

19 years ago

Hello all mango growers,

Yesterday I bought a small Mallika mango tree. I plan to keep it in a container for about 1-2 years (until I move). What I am confused about is how often I should water. On one hand, one person said that various pathogens cannot adept to extreme changes in moisture, so the pot soil should not be kept damp at all times - instead alternate from wet to dry soil. On the other hand, the guy (an assistant) at the nursery told me to water every day as long as the mango is grown in a pot.

This makes me confused. Can anyone help out?
