100 Subscribers video: Putting a face to a name and growing mango cuttings

Hi everyone! That is me! :) I wasn't sure if I wanted to do a 100 subscribers contest. Only problem with that is I didn't have any ideas for a contest so I'll save it for the future. Also, trying to propagate a mango cutting is a new thing for me so like I said on the video, I really don't know what I'm doing so don't follow me until these branches starts to grow root! Lol! Thanks for watching and I hope you had a few laughs with me ;).

Hey Jane. I love plants too. Though I don't have a patio so for now I'm growing mine indoor. I started 4 citrus plants a few months ago. I believe it was an orange tree and grapefruit tree. But they've only grown two leave to date. Healthy leaves but only two. I wonder if you know how long does it take these things to grow?

@TheDearlovediaries Hi! Most likely they need to be transplanted. Their current container isn't giving them the right "nutrients" it needs. Also, make sure you only have 1 plant per container, because they give off a lot of roots. I have some citrus in a small container and hasn't grown much and I have a few in one container that are growing Very Slow. Then I have 1 in a decent size container and is growing well. I hope this helps :). Good luck with growing! :)

That is so cool! From what ive read, :), plant cutting should be < than 6 inches, and have 3 nodes maximum on them. You can start them in damp paper towel , and place them in a baggie, to keep the air humid around them, and place them in indirect light. If you have rooting hormone, it helps. I also read somewhere that real honey can act like a rooting hormone. Some plants root easily and you can just put them in water. How are they doing? Ground dried banana is great fertilizer.

Usually with these type of trees it takes very long for them to start growing healthy. Be patient. Give them time to establish a good root base and if your plant grows a few leaves that's a good sign. I've done 5 cuttings with my mango tree and only 2 of them grew. My cuttings are a 1.5 years old and still only have 12 leaves. At one point they started to flower but I was told to cut the flowers off because the tree was too small to ever support fruits and I should wait until the tree was bigge

your very cute lol

when you propagate a cutting/ branch for reproducing you DO NOT cut the leaves off because since it has no roots yet it absorbs its nutrients through the leaves.

@Pavlovafowl Thanks, Sue. That sounds like a very interesting film.
