Don't throw away the mango pit - with just a few simple steps you can grow a miniature mango bonsai

Speaking of mangoes, this editor really loves eating them, but don't rush to throw away the mango after eating it. What, you're keeping it to grow a little one? You guessed right - we can use the mango pit to make a mango potted plant, and it has a really fresh, delicate feel. If you don't believe it, take a look at the pictures and you'll see.

First, if we're going to use a mango as a potted seed, we should choose a smaller one, because this kind of mango can usually continue to grow and has greater development potential. So don't pick the big ones just because you're greedy for a snack - choosing 1-2 similar ones is enough.

Then we can take out the mango pit from the mango we've eaten. After washing the mango pit clean, it needs to be placed in a cool place to air-dry. This protects the moisture of the seed inside. Don't put it in the sunlight, because that will make the moisture in the seed inside the mango pit evaporate too quickly, and after planting it will be hard for it to survive.

Next, we take out the seed from the dried pit. Everyone knows this seed is not easy to remove - don't use a hammer, or the seed will be wasted. We usually use scissors to cut a notch and then slowly pry the mango pit open to take out the seed inside.

Next, we need to clean the seed we've taken out. All right, here comes the key point - listen up, take notes - this step is the most important part of the whole planting process. If it's not handled well, then you'll just have to eat another mango. On the surface of the seed there is a coffee-colored thin film that we need to remove. You can use small tweezers to help, but the movements should be gentle and precise, and don't hurt the seed - a seed with wounds is very hard to keep alive. After the film is cleaned off, soak the seed in water. If there are impurities in it, you need to change the water every day, and after about 3-5 days you can see the seed sprout.

Finally, we can put the seed in a flowerpot to plant. Even though the mango seed is small, its roots and stem will be very long once they grow, so when choosing a flowerpot we can pick a slightly deeper one. After planting it in the pot, water it a little and put it in a ventilated place to air out a bit. Don't rush to expose it to light; wait until it sprouts before giving it sunlight, and it will grow better this way.

When caring for a mango potted plant, we only need to water it normally. Give it some sunlight as usual, and keep the temperature at 15-20°C. This temperature is the most favorable for the growth of a mango potted plant, so temperature is very important. In winter it must be placed indoors.

After saying all this, have you become interested in growing a mango potted plant? Actually, a mango potted plant is very easy - the main difficulty is taking out the seed, and everything else is very simple. Friends, why not give it a try?
