Hello Arun.Yelamanchili Change the soil with more sands and building rubbish in order to make your soil more porous, it allows easy aeration to root areas. Your present soil is too clayey. So, there’s poor absorption by roots that resulted wilting of leaf tips. Under this conditions, more you pour down water, more clay particles deposit in root area to block aerations. Hope that this common idea or insight on plant physiology makes good sense!😃😁

That is not clay. That is potting mix made out of coco-peat

Arun.Yelamanchili Importantly, to get best result in future shift this mango tree to a more bigger pot not less than 4 times of present pot. I should suggest for a cut half drum having perforation around the bottom side.

Arun.Yelamanchili Coco-peat? Is coco-peat any appropriate media for growing mango plant? Mango plant produces organised tape root. So, use soil for good anchorage and root dev other than coco-peat.
