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

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

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.

@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.

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

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