- the bone must be taken from overripe mango;
- planting the bone is best immediately after extraction;
- no need to germinate the seed in advance.
For planting, you need to prepare the soil and a container where you put the bone. A special primer purchased from a flower shop is best suited. The future mango should be placed in a pot of soil that has drainage holes. Also choose a lid for the glass.
How to extract a mango seed
Try not to damage it. If using a knife, be extremely careful. Do not scratch it, otherwise nothing will sprout from the deformed bone.
IMPORTANT! Mango seed is a tasty morsel for harmful insects, so soak it in the solution before planting. It can be bought at a flower shop and must contain a fungicide.
How to germinate a mango seed
First, peel it from the shell. You can use a knife for this. A peeled seed has more chances to germinate, and the growing conditions should be as close as possible to tropical ones, mango grows well only at high humidity.
Landing rules
- Find out where the root should come out of the stone, and mark the desired place so that you can then put this side into the groove.
- The seed does not need to be completely lowered into the ground; 1/4 of it should remain on the surface.
- The bone must be periodically moistened, keep the lid closed to create the conditions for a greenhouse greenhouse.
- The lid must not be removed until a sprout emerges from the ground.
How to create favorable conditions for growth
Mango requires a lot of care and attention at all stages - from planting to the formation of a full-fledged plant. But you need to watch it especially carefully at the stage of formation of a sprout from a bone. To get it done, follow these rules:
- After the seedling gets stronger, it must be transplanted into a large and wide pot. This procedure must be carried out every six months, otherwise the mango will stop growing.
- Provide the sprout with long daylight hours.
- Be sure to water the plant every two weeks. If you do this less often, the plant will wither and not bear fruit.
- The leaves must be sprayed at least three times a day.
Mango is a tropical plant, so all the rules for care are reduced to creating tropical conditions for it. Gardeners value mangoes not only for their delicious fruits, but also for their overall appearance. With proper care, you will get a wonderful ornamental house plant.
Home care for mango
Even with the most careful care, mango blooms at home only in the sixth year. Also, not any seed can grow a fruit-bearing tree, but in any case you will get a beautiful flowering plant.
Mango is a very capricious plant, care cannot be weakened and reduced to a minimum, that is, you will need to pay attention to it every day.
Sometimes the leaves can change their usual green color to burgundy, but do not be afraid, this is normal. Caring for a mango is not difficult in fact, it is important to observe regularity, do not forget to transplant it and always maintain the level of humidity and light at the proper level.
