Mango Seedling leaves Curl

[Karlo]

Greetings to everyone the first time that I plant a mango but I'm not sure is this normal,If anyone can explain to me what the problem is i would be very grateful.

 

[Chuck]

Being as how a mango is a tropical plant and you are in Germany I would say lack of sunlight. Even in south Texas growing a mango indoors is about impossible

 

[Beverly]

I agree with Chuck, when mangos start out, it is their attention to grow huge with lots of natural light and warmth and i don't think they will be happy in Germany. You may prove me wrong...i hope so, but i can't be encouraging.

Tenx Chuck and Beverly i appreciate it.

Hello Chuck and Beverly I bought a grow lamp for my mango NTS CFL blue 200W/6500k 12600 Lumens
The leaves are Yellowish if I have to move away from the lamp ? Or is this normal?

 

[Chuck]

Those are new growth leaves and they need all of the strongest light they can get.

See those little white fuzzy things in the picture? That is scale insects. Spray with Neem Oiil

little white fuzzy things are a mixture of soap baking powder and water I sprayed the day before the image. I thought it was Colletotrichum gleosporioides I found on the Internet to make fungicidal spray (soap baking powder and water)
I'm not sure if I'm right so I asked for an 2 opinion

It is not antracnose or C g. It is an insect of some sort and the damage looks like scale and those white fuzzy things look like scale

Ok Chuck I will try with Neem Oiil

 

[Karlo]

Chuck I'm sorry but this is every day worse

 

[Chuck]

Insect damage does not show up immediately. Sometimes it will take 3 or 4 days. Spray again with Neem as the insects lay eggs in the soil, hatch and climb up the plant.

What is the ambient temperature in which the plant it growing?
