How to Plant Mangosteen Seeds? A Detailed Guide to Growing Them in Pots

Do you like eating mangosteen? Growing them in pots is very popular now, so would you like to grow one yourself? In fact, after you finish eating a mangosteen, you can save its seeds and grow a mangosteen from them.

Carefully keep the seeds. Soak them in water for about ten days, then half-bury the seeds in potting soil and wait for them to grow roots. After two weeks, you will see white roots and red young shoots. At this point you can plant them in the prepared pot and cover the surface with maifan stone. I am really looking forward to seeing how it grows. I have only eaten the fruit and never seen the plant, so what will it look like?

After another two weeks, the red stem pushes upward, carrying the bud and getting ready to unfurl. Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, the red new shoot has grown out, isn't it cute! The leaves of the mangosteen feel very plastic-like, with a glossy surface and the central vein clearly raised. The new leaves are bright red, and the shell of a ripe mangosteen fruit is purplish red; if you accidentally get the juice on you, it is hard to wash off. This red color has been there since it was young.

It took a long time for the red to gradually fade and green to gradually appear. After it turned green, it took another long time before new leaves appeared, and at first they were also red before slowly turning green.

Mangosteen counts as a slow-growing plant. The last photo was taken in September last year, and by now it has only grown 1 or 2 more leaves. Growing at this speed, it would probably be very difficult to get to eat a mangosteen. Spring has come, and after more than a year of growing it, I think I will change the pot and see; it should grow faster and grow better too!
