Growing Plants From Seeds : How to Grow a Mango From the Seed

[Scrompi88]

Omg! That is so cool! I loved the way you showed the beginning of its life. Mangos are my favorite fruit, you made it easy for me to start growing one! Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it!

[fabihanski]

Indian mangoes are the sweetest iv got 2 to root

[acidexpierence]

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.

[ProudlyQatari]

it takes five to seven years to a mango tree to form the fruit

@californiadajatt

In India, they just put the seeds on the ground, put a little dirt on top, and water. They trees grow just fine.

[26121944]

@VyvienneEaux That is India, the country of Mango Origin.

[VyvienneEaux]

@26121944 Actually, while mangoes are very popular in India, there are several varieties indigenous to other areas. The most common mango is the Indian mango (magnifera indus) but other species exist as well.

One thing she didn't mention is taking the seed out of the pit. I always do this when starting mango seeds.

[blackboy424]

@smurfboywv how do you do that?

[smurfboywv]

@blackboy424 split it open with a butter knife.

[Omanaji]

@smurfboywv

no need to open seed..it will give sprouts in 2 weeks

[sapodaco69]

people be nice i like her video's

[Roar1910]

I cant stand this women!! .. she never knows what shes talking about.. Someone tell her to just stop .. and don't be nice about it !!!

[professorLing]

WTF? you left the husk on. and leaving the husk will increase the time of the sprouting thingo. your'e video is poor. theres so many easier ways to do it. i've seen your videos. and no offence but they suck. i dont trust you, my friends dont and youtube dosen't. i hope you don't make it up as you go along.

[GothProf]

@professorLing

You might want to learn how to spell, use contractions, and learn about verbs. High school drop out? .

[professorLing]

@GothProf nup. im 14. thats how i spell. so yeah :) i use all that teens spelling

[professorLing]

@GothProf oh im in grade 9 so i really cant complain

[MangoPlantMaker]

That is not the seed, for a better instructioal video, come on over to The Mango Plant Maker.

[candy18869]

@MangoPlantMaker dude what are you talking about? it is the seed! i would know...i live in Miami FL.

[Redsiix]

@candy18869 that's the outer layer. It takes really long for it to grow that way. MangoPlantMaker is referring to the inner seed which you remove the outer layer which we are seeing in her video.

[tommyvizzle]

This is the slow way, for those of you with less patience.. You can take the inner seed out carefully with a knife and soak the seed in wet paper towels for a few days. The little sprout will emerge, then you can then plant it in the soil and it's on it's journey ;)

[Gehenna92]

every fruit is her favorite..

[Numinous123]

Or you could do the smart thing and peel off the fibrous husk off the seed, put it in some high moist soil, and watch the plant grow in under a week.

[TheMangoGuy]

she said that its her favorite fruit to the BANANA, ORANGE, AND MANGO... i'm looking for more lmao

[bowler8]

she just sais mango was her favorite, she never mentioned banana or orange

[TheMangoGuy]

@bowler8 hey i mean on the other videos too lmao, she says it to all of them

[austing2789]

does the seed have to be ripe to plant a seed

[mermaidstar7]

wow mangoes are super picky. They are all or nothing hehe

[bbooddmmonn]

can you grow it in canada ?

[balmainguy]

Not really.... You can put a lot of effort into keeping it alive, but it will not bear fruit for you.

[erikabraun]

How long would it take to give fruit?

Can they be grown indoors as decorative plants?

[mermaidstar7]

can you show us what the mango you planted looks like now?

[donniedarko88888]

does mango taste like the liquid that you polish your wooden surfaces with?

[bowmasterpigo13]

i love all these video not to hard to under stand thanks for posting

[FINNERLY]

youtiublah: I don't think Cameron Highlands has a distinct dry season to produce sweet mangoes. Based on what you're saying, it sounds like you've got anthracnose problems, which means your mangoes are most likely not the Southeast Asian variety. However, did you check for Oriental fruitflies? They are real pain with mango cultivation here.

[ajstrobus]

thats cause there is a very low probability for seed grown mangos to produce edible mangos, experienced mango growers use the seeds for the root stalk & graft a branch from a edible mango tree onto the main stalk to "clone" the exact tree & produce the exact same quality fruit on the new one, Also the seed in this video looks like it still has the husk on it. Its far better to remove the husk so the seed doesn't have to fight that very tough husk, but be carefull not to damage the seed inside!

[youtiublah]

Howdy

I live in the Cameron Highlands of tropical Malaysia, I have tried growing mango here. The tree grows well but when the fruits come out they got rot due to fungus infection. Some good ones were too sour.
