    Since winter is right around the corner, I've begun thinking of ways to help my mango tree make it through the winter successfully. I was thinking of setting up a light on a timer and having the mango tree sit under it, is this a good idea or a bad idea?

    What do you guys do for the winter?

    The more like a bright humid greenhouse the better.

    My tree, which spends all of its time indoors, sits behind a shaded south-facing window. It does not receive any additional lighting or humidity. RH levels are typically in the mid-30s. In the winter, under these conditions, the tree appears to go dormant.
