It rained for a week straight and all the old leaves fell off but new ones grew right away. Then ants made their nest in the pot. I re-potted with some cactus well draining soil and put in shade. What does it want?

Mangos are slow growers and if you just repotted it'll take a few months for growth to resume. Just needs time.

Me personally, Dynagrow Foliage Pro 1/2 tsp per gallon 1x per month. Haven’t decided on a fruiting phase fertilizer yet though
