Mangifera

The mangifera (genus Mangifera) are a group of tropical broadleaf trees in the cashew family. Many species within this genus are grown for their large, fleshy, and edible fruits – by far the most notable of these species is the Common Mango (M. indica). Cultivated by humans for at least 4,000 years, mangifera are now grown in tropical regions all over the world, but most especially in south Asia.

Water: Originating from humid environments, mangifera efficiently absorbs moisture, requiring watering every 1-2 weeks. It thrives outdoors, needing conditions similar to its tropical origins with ample rain during the growing season, while maintaining moderate drought tolerance and balanced drainage.

Propagation: Propagation of mangifera involves grafting, budding, and seed planting. Success hinges on warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-drained soil. Veneer grafting is particularly effective but challenging due to genetic variability. Key steps include selecting healthy scions and rootstock, precise cuts, and maintaining humidity and warmth.
