Lately I see people coming to my blog looking for a way to grow a mango tree because of my baby mango tree.
So this post is for those people wanting to grow an indoor mango tree. I have 3 mango trees 🙂 Two of them are 1 year old and the third one is 8 months old.
Here’s what I did 🙂
Ate the mango ( pick the ripest mango you can find ). Ok so now you will have a big seed left. What I did was a small cut with a knife in the husk ( around the side ) and carefully opened the husk with my fingers. You will have a big bean now.
If the bean looks healthy plant it in a pot with the hump side up and a little exposed like in the picture below.
All my three mango trees were first planted in tiny pots and later I put them in bigger pots. Plant them in good potting soil with plenty of sand. The pot size depends on how big you want the tree to be. Make sure it has a good drainage and keep the soil moist. Put it in a sunny place.
And that’s it! They grow pretty fast and it’s a joy to see them becoming lovely mango trees. In the winter season I keep them inside in a warm place with plenty of light and in summer I put them outside in full sun and they are very happy.
Mango is a delicious and healthy tropical fruit rich in antioxidants and vitamins, it’s good for immune system and releases stress.
With patience and care you can still get an indoor mango tree . The plant grows fairly quickly if cared for properly. In summer you can keep it in your yard or balcony and it will certainly be happy. Mango loves full sun!
Good luck growing mangoes!
When I go to my mother’s house Sunday, I’ll be rifling through her tree for a mango. I’m definitely trying this!
Good luck!
I once grew an avocado tree from an avocado pit. It grew to be about 5 ft. tall. But we had to move to California at the time and couldn’t take it with us.
Sorry to hear you couldn’t take the avocado tree with you. You could try again to grow a new one 🙂
Actually, I could! I just bought an avocado at the supermarket today.
thanks for visiting my blog! wow what a great post, i’d love to grow a mango tree, will give it a try
I’ve got to try this! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Let me know how it goes 🙂 It’s easy and a pleasure to see them grow
If I succeed, I’ll post a picture of it!
Great! I can’t wait to see it 🙂
I have to say – growing mango trees is not how I found your blog nor what I look for here. BUT I do think it is incredibly admirable that you took into account what your visitors wanted to know. 🙂
Well I am glad to be of help! Thank you for your wonderful words 🙂
The mango tree would be giving you a lot of happiness… Thanks for sharing.
True Bindu. Those 3 little mango trees really bring happiness! It’s a great feeling to grow them. I wish you a wonderful day 🙂
I learn a new thing. You get my curiosity going. Can you keep the tree in a pot forever?
Yes you can 🙂 You will have an indoor mango tree.
great post! I just told my husband that we should grow a mango tree on the land that we are preparing to build a house. I love mangoes! thank you for sharing this.
i live in a small condo so i could only grown ANYTHING in pots. would love to grow a mango tree on my patio. thanks for the tip!
I’ll try that! I have often looked at the left-over mango seed and wondered… Thanks for the tip 🙂
Hello,
interesting post. I’m also trying to grow mango trees from seeds. It’s working with seeds (beans) from the Osteen variety. I’m also trying with seeds from the Kent variety, and next with the Keitt and Palmer.
Have great day
Glad to hear it’s working ! 🙂
