Thanks

2woodensticks has it right: pot in a pot. It helps avoid overheating and helps with watering / drainage. Don't overpot the mango, for sure. It will not be happy, especially when it gets cool over winter. Learned that lesson the hard way. Progressively pot up, put your smallish pots in larger pots filled with potting mix if hot pots and too frequent need for watering is a problem.
