I am a beginner in plant and growing plants. I have been growing this mango for over a while. It’s now drying and looking unhealthy. What can I do to save it and, so it looks like how it looked before (healthy). Please help I want to save it.

Ok, it looks like you have it in a bucket that has water and hardly any dirt in it so I would move it to a pot and give it some minerals that they like I’m not sure what they like so you can look it up

I agree. Do some research and see what they like. Looks extremely overwatered. I would take it out of the soil and see how the roots look/feel. There’s a good chance there’s root rot

It’s best not to leave your plants in standing water best of luck

Looks like it’s being overwatered. Remove all the excess water from the pot (the water resting on top of the dirt) and remove the plant from the pot, as well. Check the roots for root rot.  
And make sure in the future to NEVER let water pool atop the dirt- it will give it root rot. Water the plant when it’s dry, and see if it improves.
