No it is not white. Its kina redish, brownish... I dnno. Kina like that. Are they dead or there's still some hope for them to survive this situation? What link do you mean?

Go ahead and replant. I might be wrong but I doubt it. Over watering is the number one cause of plant death world wide. People insist on watering just because the top of the soil is dry. They don't realize that the roots are 3+ inches deep and the soil may be damp there. Also, many times the container may not have enough drainage holes. The water stays in the bottom of the container while the top is dry. As I said before in this thread, your climate is not really all that great for a mango. Let this be a learning experience and try again. But, if you didn't learn everything remember this: You cannot give a plant too much water but you can and will kill a plant by giving it water too often. There is no such thing as a calendar schedule for watering a plant. You only water when the plant needs watering and experience is the only way to learn when a plant needs water.No. None of them look like mine. So the problem was watering? The roots are dead du to over watering? You mean replanting won't help them?
20-30 would be excellent for germinationSure. What about the temperature? These days our temperature ranges from 12 to almost 30.
What exactly are you fertilizing with and how often, how much are you watering? The pictures look like fertilizer burn or excessive watering. Do the leaves become brown and crispy before falling off?Hi Chuck. I planted a new mango. It was going well until its leaves started to change color and form and the newest leaves fell off. Here are some pictures of the leaves. This time I was really careful about watering and fertilizing. Would you please help me again and tell me what is going on with the leaves? It's really nice of you.
You seem to be doing things correctly. As I am sure you know a Mango is a TROPICAL plant. It grows best in a high humidity enviornment and doesn't like high temps. IIRC you said that there were mangos growing where you are located. I would go talk to some of the workers there and find out what they do.You know I haven't used any fertilizer yet. As you have already told me, I water it when it needs. I keep it damp but not wet. The fallen leaves didn't get brown but dark green. They fell half dry and crispy but almost half of the leaf was green and droopy not crispy.
I don't know what iron chip is nor dark sand. I know what iron chelate is and greensand. Putting iron filings or rust or nails into the soil will do nothing and neither will just regular dark colored sand.They were dark green before then they got yellowish. Is it good to add a table spoon of iron chip to the soil? Or some dark sand is better?
