Mango Plant dropping leaves

4 years ago

I have two grafted mango plants. I noticed that both plants had a sudden growth spurt and then some of the new and old leaves started dropping. I don’t see any damage on the leaves, no disease, and the fallen leaves look healthy otherwise. But the leaves are just falling off the stem. Is this normal or can I do anything to make sure it survives?

i probably wouldnt have that large a tree in that small a pot.. in full sun like that .. i would at leasst hide the pot behind something so the pot stays in shade.. and hopefully cooler .. while the plant is in sun ...in other words.. you probably have a watering issue ...

and perhaps a cold issue a few weeks back ... ?????

and i would have repotted/transplanted it BEFORE the growth spurt ... or would wait until im am sure it doesnt bloom.. because it will probably abort any flower or fruit if you repot it now ...

it helps ..... that if in every post.. you include a big city location.. so we might understand what the plant is dealing with ...
