How to grow mango bonsai

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: Basically any soil can be used for planting, but good drainage and alkaline soil are more conducive to its growth.

2. Light: Since it is a tropical plant, it has high requirements for light. Adequate light will be beneficial to growth and fruiting, promote the germination of leaf buds and differentiation of flower buds, and achieve a good harvest.

Choose a healthy mango tree rootstock, make an oblique cut, peel off the rootstock to expose the wood, then connect and match it with the scion and wrap it tightly.

2. Seed propagation: Select a healthy mango, take out the core, sow it in slightly moist soil, keep the soil warm, and it will germinate soon.
