Mangosteen costs 35 yuan per jin. Don't throw away the seeds after eating; plant them in a flower pot. Even if they don't bear fruit, you can still enjoy the leaves.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and now the only way to keep warm is by eating! But the girl still has her heart set on losing weight, so after work she heads straight into the supermarket to buy some fruit to fill her stomach! Unfortunately, she spots her favorite mangosteen, and then looks at the price: 35 yuan, too expensive, she can't bear to spend it! So the girl goes home and looks up how to grow mangosteen, and now she's sharing the method with everyone!
Step one:
Collect the seeds. After buying the mangosteen, eat it first, and keep the seeds from each segment. Be careful not to bite through them while eating. Then soak the seeds in water, wash the surface material clean, and then put them in warm water to soak for 48 hours, so the seed coats soften, which helps more with rooting and sprouting!
Step two
Mangosteen is a tropical fruit, so its temperature requirements for growing are relatively high! Right now the temperature difference is a bit large, so a reminder that everyone must do a good job of keeping them warm! Place the seeds in the flower pot at a certain spacing, cover with a thin layer of soil, and water them.
Note that mangosteen likes slightly acidic soil. When preparing it, you can also bury a little farmyard manure in the soil, so that when the mangosteen grows up, you can reduce fertilizing!
Step three
After the mangosteen sprouts and grows leaves, it needs to be cared for well! Put it in a place with scattered light, and make sure there is good ventilation! But the sunlight is not very harsh right now, so it can be grown in full sun. Mangosteen grows relatively slowly, and generally needs 9 months to grow into a small seedling. During this period, if the environment is unsuitable, it will just die, so the technical requirements are still quite high.
Step four
When growing mangosteen, you definitely want to eat the fruit! But mangosteen needs to be grown for a very long time before it bears fruit! To put it this way, only a mangosteen tree can bear fruit, and growing a mangosteen seedling into a mangosteen potted plant takes 7-8 years, while growing it into a mangosteen tree takes 70-80 years. No one can afford to wait that long! But simply growing a mangosteen potted plant is also very fulfilling! If you really want to eat mangosteen you grew yourself, you can just buy a mangosteen seedling! Or just bury a small mangosteen tree!
Knowledge point: how to make good use of waste. When everyone eats mangosteen, you'll notice that the outer skin is still quite fresh, and throwing it away is a pity. You can use the skin to compost and then use it for the small mangosteen.
