I just put my 3 mango seeds which all have about 1 inch roots in pots with potting mix outside on my deck ( I live in NJ, so it gets between 87-93 usually during the day). I watered each of them pretty good with luke warm water. How often should I water them? Should I keep the water constantly moist or let it dry out a little? And how much sunlight should they see? Right now they are on a part of the deck which doesn't get direct light.

@acidexpierence I would water enough to keep them moist. I have grown some in full sun and some inside in shade either way they will grow.

Do you know how long it takes to produce fruit?

[gentrysnavat]

@lbisthebestband it takes about 15 to 20 years to produce a fruit

[mynamepeggy80]

@gentrysnavat  yes that may be true on some varieties but most will do in about 6 years.

[bowler8]

aren't you supposed to crack the shell from the seed then plant it?

[JOHNFMKN]

@bowler8 Some people do it, but you don't need to. Either way will work.

does it taste the same or better than the one u planted

[mejiawilmar]

does it taste the same or better than the one u planted

[JOHNFMKN]

@mejiawilmar It should taste very close to what you planted.

@JOHNFMKN About how long does it take to actually have a stem and leaves?Oh and how old is your mango plant?

[JOHNFMKN]

@starwars681 It takes a few weeks. My plant is a year and a half old, and is much bigger now.

[Ar15snhappy]

what happens to the embryo? When do you burry the embryo completely?

[JOHNFMKN]

@Ar15snhappy It will start to grow in a few weeks. I plant the seed as soon as I am done eating the mango. I wash it first to get all the pulp off it.

wow this didnt help what so ever

[Richie926]

i hope mine grow. I'm in Southern texas so it gets reallllyyy hot here so all my plants doo soo good.

Great mango plant mines just germinating. My idea is simple I first soaked it in water for 1 day then placed it in a styrofoam cup upright with seedling mix. Then I watered it then added more seedling mix to even out the soil. Now thats it's germinating I'm going to cut the bottom of the cup then plant it in my giant plastic pot so I don't need to transplant. I'm growing the mexican mango while your growing the yellow variety usually from india. :)

Nice Plant....I have 4 but not that big. How often do you water it?

[JOHNFMKN]

@PsycoLibraBoy I actually have a few more growing outside, the pant inside I only water twice a week, the plants I have outside I water almost every day because it is very hot here in Texas.
