How to plant mango seeds

Mango is a tropical fruit, suitable for cultivation in tropical areas. It can grow normally in northern greenhouses. It prefers a warm growing environment and is suitable for seedling cultivation and planting from June to August each year.

Mango likes to grow in a warm, humid and sunny environment. The suitable growth temperature is between 25 and 30 degrees. Water it every 1 to 2 days during the growth period to keep the soil in the pot moist. It has a wide adaptability to soil texture and can be planted in all types of soil except extremely barren saline-alkali land.

Mango seed planting steps

1. Choose mature seeds

Select ripe mango seeds, clean the outer flesh first, and the outer skin of the core needs to be dried so that it is convenient to peel off. Make a small hole in the embryo part, then soak it in tap water that has been dried for more than 2 hours, place it on a balcony with sufficient diffused light, change the water every 2 or 3 days, and roots will grow in about 7-15 days.

2. Prepare the container and substrate soil

Mango prefers a drier environment, so the soil should have good water permeability and air permeability, and the container should also have an unobstructed drainage outlet to avoid water accumulation. Some dead branches and leaves need to be stirred into the self-prepared nutrient soil, which can provide a certain amount of fertilizer to supply its growth needs.

3. Planting method

When planting seedlings into the substrate soil, all the roots need to be buried in the soil so that they can absorb water and nutrients faster. We also need to pay attention to the spacing between seedlings. The larger the spacing, the faster they grow. There should be no more than 3 seedlings in a pot.

Mango seed planting method

1. Seed collection: First, choose a ripe mango, then use a fruit knife to cut off the mango pulp and other parts, and soak the remaining seed buds in water for later use.

2. Soil: It is recommended to use E3 organic and inorganic compound fertilizer for mango planting soil. It contains organic and inorganic nutrients needed by crops, which can provide fruit trees with a more balanced and comprehensive nutritional supplement, allowing fruit trees to grow more healthily, and can also improve the soil's ability to lock in water and resist drought.

3. Pruning: Mangoes can take root and sprout quickly after planting. When the mango willow seedlings grow to a height of about 50 cm, you can top them to allow the mango to grow branches at this height, allowing the fruit trees to effectively use the indoor space for growth.

4. Fertilization: Mango, like other fruit trees, requires a certain amount of fertilizer to grow. If there is not enough fertilizer, the mango leaves will turn yellow and fall off. If there is a serious lack of fertilizer, it may even die, so fertilizer should be applied in time.
