Thanks a lot for your tutorials.. They are very easy to follow.
Today i ate a mango and wanted to try growing my own mango tree.
The little problem is my seed looks nothing like yours... It is rather a flat one. So I wonder if it's good enough. I covered it with mineral water.. But I am not sure if it should be completly submerged or just half of it.
@jcpn222 That's awesome! Although it's not common, it's also not rare for it to happen. It happened to a few of my mangoes where a couple of trunks are growing from one seed. It will make your plant look much thicker, too.
Quick question should I let the seed dry or use fresh ones ........ I just planted one from a seed it had roots on the seed when I pulled it out of the shell ......this morning the neighbor squirrel ate it
@dookindasie1 Oh my, that's unfortunate that it got eaten!
It's easier to remove the actual seed from the husk/shell when it's dry, but it can still be done even when it's fresh. Do not let the actual seed (the one inside the shell) to dry out once you started to grow it..
I got a mango growing up to the part where the seed open its mouth or watever and little stems started coming out after that it stopped growing and the seed became very brown black color I think it died. I changed its water everyday.
@The5KidRock I tried that method, but so far no luck. I'm still trying to grow plum from seeds and trying different methods. Once I find something that works for me, I'll definitely share it. :)
@520raveglover It takes about 3 weeks for the roots to come out and another week for the trunk to start to show. It will also depend where you are at. If you are in a colder climate, it may take longer for it to develop.
@520raveglover You can plant it in soil practically anytime after you see the root.. If the trunk isn't showing yet, plant it flat on the soil, cover it with soil about half - 1 inch deep. If the trunk is already showing, plant it to where the trunk is facing up and the roots are down (You might have to plant it sideways). Just make sure you keep the soil moist, but not soaking wet.
@dorothymilfort The water will change color overtime. It's best to change the water at least every 3 days. Do you have it indoor or outdoors? The only problem you might have is the smell of the water, that is why it's good to change the water. Other than that, your mango seed will do just fine. Make sure you don't let the seed dry out.
What type of soil do you use? do you buy the soil or use those from your yard? do you use ferterlizer?

Hi & thank you for posting these videos. I was wondering do you use a special type of soil or just the kind in your backyard? I live in Fl as well...

@jcpn222 I was reading somewhere that the smallest one will be the best producer and the others can be culled...

Do you think this would work with a plum?
