How to plant mango seeds

1. Dry the fruit core

Buy mangoes that are in season and well-ripened. After eating the flesh, leave the core. Use a knife to gently scrape off the surface flesh, clean it, and place it in a ventilated and dry place to dry.

2. Soak the seeds

After the core is dried, cut it from the edge, being careful not to damage the seeds. Take out the seeds and soak them in clean water. The time is about 4-7 days, during which time the water needs to be changed every day. It will take about 4-5 days for small sprouts to appear.

3. Prepare the soil

In the later stage of mango growth, the potted plants will be taller, so you should choose a taller pot. Fill the container about 80% full with soil and spray with water to moisten the soil.

4. Planting in pots

When the seeds germinate and turn yellow-green, they can be planted. Before planting, use chopsticks to poke a few holes of appropriate size in the soil surface, and plant the seeds with the tender side facing up and slightly exposed outside the soil.

5. Post-maintenance

After planting, spread a layer of pebbles on the surface and sprinkle water 2-3 times to make the soil and seeds completely moist. In the later stage, water should be sprinkled every 1-2 days, and seedlings will grow in about a week.
