My mango tree is growing bent (forum)

Midwife@heart starts with ...
Hi. I was googling for ideas and found your forum. I'm attempting to grow a mango tree in a pot. I had planted three seeds and it looked like nothing was happening. Two weeks ago someone put a box on top of the pot and when I moved it today I noticed one of the seeds actually worked. My question is about it growing bent. Do I need to do anything to fix it?

you can try and tie it to a stake. As you said that it was in darkness it might have been searching for some sun. I would gradually ease it into full sun and it ill right itself

As someone else said, it was looking for light. Get it gradually exposed to sunlight and it will be ok. I wouldn't stake it just yet as you might damage the delicate roots.
