The Mallika variety is semi-dwarf and moderately vigorous, making it an excellent choice for mango enthusiasts, even outside of India. When planting, choose a planter that suits the plant’s size and upgrade as it grows. For colder climates, use a dark-colored pot to absorb heat, as mangoes thrive in warmth. Ensure proper drainage by using a quality potting mix and adding loose stones at the pot’s bottom. In winter, move the potted mango tree indoors if you are in a frost area.
