mango on the bottom

There is nothing wrong with your tree. In fact your Clementine looks very healthy. - Silica

The clementine looks fine, but may be getting too much water. That can cause the leaves to cup like that. What is your soil like and how often do you water?

I'll bet you any money you have spider mites...First they attack your Mango and then on to your citrus..Been there...I would spray with an insecticide soap as soon as possible, under the leaves and on top and watch them perk up..

I might of over watered,thought the cupping meant waterMuch Gratitude for all your help my friends :) mass (6)

i used happy frog potting soil,and like i said i watered 2 days in a row,probably the prob:)

Happy Frog is not a good choice at all for the mix...If you watered two days in a row, not bad..But if you watered and it took over a week to properly dry out, that's bad...You can have mites that suck the life right out of your trees leaves preventing the roots from taking up water..I would spray for mites too. Once you have weakened a plant, mites take over....I'm afraid that if you don't treat your trees, it will be too late and you will never really know what killed your trees...(

I want to see if it's root damage or mites, spray them and see what happens to the leaves....

i will

What do you suggest for soil?

Hi Mike..What I suggest and what is available to you can be two different stories...

If you could, let me know what you have access to...

Do they sell a very good porous 'already made mix' in your area? Where are you from? Dy you have a access to let's say, Turface, crushed granite called "chicken grit, floor dry, perlite, bark, peat, pumice, very coarse sand and so on? Let me knwo and we can build what is as close to a gritty mix or 5.1.1 mix as possible that I use. We can also build one that your trees will love if you can't use what I use.

From mass,wilmington,Mahoney nursery close by

Mike, that's funny..You live less than 5 miles from me..I live in Lowell..You have access to everything I do..That's awesome, in fact if you don't want to make a mix yourself, you are about a couple of miles from Griffins Greenhouse Supplies!!

Did you leave your trees out last night? It was a whopping surprise 35 degrees!!

Just called them,and they make their own blend,just no sand

lol last year i worked in lowell for a friend small world brother

Mike, they sell Fafard Mixes...I only use one and another I have at home even better..
You don't need sand and in fact I have never used sand.

As far as mixes go, have you ever tried growing Figs?

Keep mine indoors to cold here now,slight frost today,i have papayas on my deck still very small,but they did fine:) outside now for awhile,beautiful out

Havent tried those

Figs easy?

all the ingredients you mention are in the mahoney mix,is sand vital to the mix?

and where you get theFafard mix?Griffins

Yes....I would leave my trees outside till at least Friday...It's going to be a nice week. After that, I see fifties in teh forcast and usually a 20 degree drop at night..NOt nice and way too early this year..

Fafard mixes are sold there at GRiffin Greenhouse Supllies right next doors to Mahonies..Many would kill to get their hands on that stuff!! It is the 'Nursery Mix'..

Sand is never needed..All you need is that Mix and a bag of perlite which they also sell..

Figs are as easy as pie..In fact, the easiest tree to grow!! I got lots of figs this year. If youy have lots of sunlight, you would and should try a tree!

mohoneys must have the same blend but already has the perlite?next tree is fig :)love fig newtons lol griff says no all soil n/a,7 dollars for 16 quart at mahoneys

whats the name of the Farfard mix you use,all nurseries must have that custom blend and cheap because they make it

No..No nursery has it unfortunetly..You can only get it at the Distibutor...I suppose if you ask them who they supply it too, they would tell you..The Nursery MIx' is the best with added perlite...Mahonies sells their own blend with too much peat...Tried theirs and my tree failed to thrive only after a couple of months..

THats not good,another dillema

Thinking of spraying my mango and clem tree with neem oil

yup thats why im gonna spray,dont like the leaf curl,thx alot for the info,any other suggestion for soil,i like ready mix,i might screw up a custom blend lmao,weird,my leaves are nicen green

mikerno,do you have a name or whats in the blend,i called but they have many kinds?

Yes. It's called the 'Fafard' Nursery' mix. Just get perlite and. Make 3/4 the mix with 1/4 perlite. It's as close to the 5.1.1 mix you can get bits perfect!!!

Tell Don behind the counter Mike Rivera sent you. They are friends of mine. They will hook you up)

Its comprised of mostly pf pine bark and smells so sooooooo good. Like fresh cut trees. You'll use it for everything. Worth every penny. Less than 20 dollars a huge bag. Already treated with lime

Thx mikerno ,ill check it out as soon as i can thx for the info.Much appreciated.
