🪴 How to Grow Mahogany in a Pot

1. Pot: Start with a 10–12 inch pot having good drainage holes; move to a larger pot as the plant grows.
2. Soil: Use a loose, well-draining mix of garden soil, compost, and cocopeat or coarse sand.
3. Sunlight: Give it around 6–8 hours of sunlight daily.
4. Watering: Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil becomes dry. Avoid keeping the soil constantly wet.
5. Fertilizer: Add a small amount of well-decomposed compost every 1–2 months during active growth.
6. Pruning: Remove dry or weak branches and lightly shape the plant when needed.
7. Repotting: Shift it to a bigger container when roots begin filling the pot or growth slows.
8. Important: Mahogany eventually becomes a large tree, so container growing is mainly suitable while the plant is young. For long-term growth, planting it in open ground is preferable.
