In a greenhouse, mango seedlings can first be grown in the containers or even in the soil. It would be better that the mango plant that you sow belongs to a cultivar that is relatively well known. The best choice would probably be the Indian cultivars which are of very good quality. These will yield good results.

The choice of cultivars should depend upon the exact site. Different cultivars suit different places.

Dry condition is important for good growth. In addition to that, the occurrence of anthracnose can be avoided. The air in the greenhouse needs to be circulated well. Fans and ventilators will prove useful to enable circulation of air. Mites should be avoided or at least controlled. This can be done by hosing down the plants during mornings. Pesticides may need to be sprayed. Anthracnose and mealy bug can be avoided by doing so.

Mildew can affect the flowers and young fruit. Kelp can be used to avoid it. Fungicide and sodium bicarbonate can be used. The fruits of mango require hundred to one- fifty days to mature. If the fruit matures on the tree the flavor will turn out to be very good. The market for mangoes is huge.
