Mulching: Mulch with dried leaves or cocopeat
Harvesting: Usually starts fruiting in 2–3 years with proper care
1. Apply Nutrient-Rich Fertilizers
When your plants begin flowering, use nutrient-rich fertilizers like Organic Bone Meal Powder or Vermicompost. This helps in boosting the bloom and enhances overall yield.
2. Use Organic Fertilizers
Feed your plants with organic fertilizers such as Cow Dung Manure or Neem Cake. Organic options promote healthy soil life.
3. Regular Feeding
Apply fertilizers every 20-25 days to ensure plants receive a steady supply of nutrients. Choose from various options like Cocopeat Compost for moisture retention.
The Chakkarakutti Mango, also known as Chakkara Katti or Sugar Baby Mango, is India’s smallest and sweetest mango variety. With each fruit the size of a lemon, this native gem is highly fibrous and meant to be eaten whole—skin, pulp, and all. Its intensely sweet flavour is unlike any other. This mango is also part of a heritage conservation effort, as it is classified as endangered due to declining cultivation. The plant is extremely hardy, requires little care, and is perfect for small gardens or balcony spaces.
