The seedling is not even 3 inches tall and has a leaf bigger than itself. This is a polyembryonic honey mango seed. It gets 1 hour of sunlight daily and the pot has no drainage holes. I also am probably overwatering it. I water it once a day.

Good question; if could include length of the leaf, overall height, current watering amount, current nutrient type, amount & frequency, size of container, hours of diffuse light per day, age of the seedling, average daytime temperature, and average night time temperature, could also be helpful.

I wouldn't be concerned about the size of that one leaf, it looks healthy, but it is a concern that you have it in a pot without drainage holes. Since you mention it yourself, you probably already know it shouldn't be in something that doesn't have drainage holes, so I'd recommend you move it into a pot with holes; the difficulty is deciding when to do that so as not to cause damage to fragile new roots. You may need to wait until it grows on a bit more, unless it starts to show problems related with poor drainage.

I just put it in a pot with drainage holes, I broke the the tip of the longest root but it was just the very very tip but it was still hanging on by a thread. Commented Aug 27, 2020 at 15:14
