Its tree is a large evergreen tree of the Anacardiaceae family native to India, and it can also be grown as a small potted plant. So, how do you grow a small potted plant from a small mango seed?
1. How do you grow a small potted plant from a small mango seed?
Select a ripe mango and take out the pit, dry it in the sun for about two days, then put it in clean water to soak for 4-7 days. Once it sprouts and turns yellow-green, it can be planted. Choose a flower pot of moderate size and fill it with nutrient soil. When planting, poke a few small holes with your finger, with the young sprout facing up and the root facing down. After planting, spray water so that the soil and seed are completely soaked, then place it in a spot with diffused light for care.
2. Propagation methods for potted mango
1. Sowing
For potted mango, sowing is generally the more commonly used propagation method. It is best to use relatively flat, fertile, loose and well-drained sandy bed soil. Peel the stem buds off the main plant, then insert them into the soil in grades, and do not water too much, because mango seedlings are afraid of water, which will lead to poor seedling development. It is best to maintain a well-ventilated environment.
2. Grafting
If the grafting method is used to propagate potted mango, it is generally done in March, because the survival rate of grafting plants is higher in March, and worst in June and December. This is because spring has just arrived, the temperature is suitable, and the healing ability of the plant after grafting is strengthened. It is best to select relatively robust branches, then keep the stock and scion wound clean, cover with a plastic bag, pour in an appropriate amount of water, and place it in a sunny place.
The care method for potted mango is relatively simple, and it is easy to survive. Friends who are interested can try planting it.
