Growing mango from seed
If you are going to grow mangoes, keep in mind that this is a large, fast-growing tropical tree that must be provided with appropriate conditions.
To grow a mango, it is necessary to take the most ripe fruit (preferably even overripe, in it you can sometimes find an already burst bone with a sprout that has appeared).
The fruits are cut lengthwise, and then the halves are turned in opposite directions, thus freeing the bone from the pulp. Thoroughly rinse the mango seed under running water and immediately plant it in a small 9-centimeter pot with a mixture of turf and humus soil. From above you can organize a greenhouse.
The mango bone cannot be stored for a long time, since its germination is quickly lost.
At +22 .. + 24 ° C, mango sprouts appear in 2-4 weeks. The pot with mango sprouts is kept warm at the same (+22 .. + 24 ° C) temperature. Every year, the bush is transplanted into a larger container with the same soil composition as when planting a seed. When the mango tree has lived with you for five years, the transplant can be done after three years, not forgetting to pour a mixture of coarse river sand and small pebbles on the bottom of the container.
The mango will grow well and beautify the room if you place it in a sunny spot. In winter, a mango seedling will not die from the hot dry air near the radiators, if you do not forget to regularly spray it with settled water at room temperature.
In spring and summer, plants are fed with organic and mineral fertilizers, which are used for indoor palms and oleanders. Mango loves abundant watering all year round; in winter, the moisture for irrigation should be warm.
Mango grows quickly, tolerates forming pruning well. The bush can be shaped like a ball, cube, pyramid. Flowering will have to wait for several years. The patient lover of exoticism will receive an award in the gloomiest and darkest time – mango blooms in November or December.
