  • How to Grow A Mango Tree From Seed!
    I've been asked by several viewers to start a Mango Tree from Seed Series and since I love growing from seed, I figured I may as well give it a go!
    I have experimented with several different techniques over the last few months to get an idea of which methods work the best. In this video, I will share with you the steps I took to:
    1 - Remove the mango seed from the shell
    2 - Clean off the paper wrapping and bathe the seed to remove any particulates and mold spores
    3 - Using clear wrap and a plastic bag as a germination station
    4 - update you on a seed that was started a few week's ago
    I plan on keeping you updated on all of the seedlings progress from now until they either perish or flourish into fruit-producing trees.
    I want to credit Melvin Wei for his clear wrap concept which I feel drastically reduces the chances of mold and also allows for visibility into what the seed is going through as it germinates and grows.

  • @TheMelvinWei
    @TheMelvinWei 4 года назад +28

    Hi Rob, I started catching up on your channel lately (I watched your whole avocado series). I'm glad that you liked my method for germinating mango seeds! Yes, they do rot a lot, and are surprisingly fragile and brittle for such large seeds compared to the seeds of other plant species. Seeing the seed germinate in clear plastic is a great way to do "quality control" to make sure everything is working before burying it in soil. My problem afterwards was my mango roots would rot in potting mix. That problem is fixed by growing in sand and dirt. Mango leaves are the toughest non-succulent leaves out there, but mango roots are the most fragile roots out there. Mango plants are really bad at making comebacks as well.

    This makes me think of my mango tree which is now much much higher than my house. We did almost nothing special for it. My sister ate once a mango then just threw the seed between the plants in our garden. Now we have enjoyed the results of this seed every year and for several years already. Every year the tree has so many mangoes hanging that we can just pick them up while sitting and having nice chit-chat in our back garden. The mangoes are just too many to eat by the entire families that we 'have to' ask the neighbours also to come help us finish them all :-)...so proud of this mango tree.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the video.
    We used to have mangoes growing in the garden in Swaziland and I never knew that there was a seed inside the nut.
    There were so many lovely sweet ripe mangoes that we just had to give them away.
    I used a large pair of wire cutters to snip around the edge of the nut then a large screwdriver which I twisted to open the shell.
    It worked well and much less danger of injury either to your hand or to the nut inside.

    Pretty close to how ive done it forever..couple things though -put the seed in the small container its going to be in for the first few months. Seed Flat, barely covered, and put a clear baggie over the top with a rubberband.They hate disturbed roots. When sprouts take the bag off. Warm, bright light and they take off looking like a mini palm tree on an island. They are really awesome when u get two growing from one seed. As they get grow they get oddly skinny if not staked. Top them and they grow better.! Good luck

    I winged it I put a mango seed out of the pit and germinated it in a Chinese plastic Tupperware box. I filled the bottoms with a couple cm of water the Center is raised a bit and I filled the water to the seed level and a couple of days later the root already sprouted. I’ve followed videos and it just never worked but this works for me 🙂

  • @yellowbird5411
    @yellowbird5411 4 года назад +30

    I had planted the whole seed a many days ago, then saw this video. I dug up my first seeds to split open the shell. There were five. One was rotten inside. Two had already split their own shells and were coming out, and two had not done anything. So I split those open and replanted them and the seeds that had already come out of their own shell. The shells must serve a purpose. Maybe it's to prevent too much moisture rotting the seed. Since I replanted them all, about a week ago, nothing has come up. Part of me just trusts that the shell has a purpose, or it wouldn't be there. Now I know the shell pops open on it's own, so I won't bother splitting them any more I don't think. Because of the mold issue, I think it's probably wise to not over water.

  • @troublingleaf

    I like to use the plant pot method, you take the plant pot, then you put compost into the plant pot, then you put the seeds into the compost, then you plonk some water on it, slap it on a warm windowsill, or outside in the summer time, and make sure it doesn't dry out, works most of the time, it takes as long as it takes and I've never had mould on mangoes as far as I'm aware!
    I don't get the whole bag method, it seems pretty common, but I dont see the point, if I have a bad seed I'm happy knowing that it's feeding the good seed, and if both fail I have nutritious compost and a pot ready for something else!

    Rob, you can also take a butter knife and instead of cutting the pit edge off, I've found that after I take the pit out and clean it off of the fibrous material, I take the butter knife and find the seam, then every so gently push against the seam, then wiggle the knife tip. Over the past month I have started four or five mango seeds and have had no problem with the knife making the initial indent. I then wiggle the knife so that the indentation becomes wider and you can hear the cracking of the shell as you do this. I work along the seam until I have enough of an opening, then pull the shell apart so I can get the seed out! That's it!! Oh, I want to thank you SO MUCH for sharing the "cling-wrap" method. I used to use the paper towel method but it was a matter of hit and miss as far as mold developing and such! I also used tap water but let it sit for at LEAST 24 hours before I use it and mix it with hydrogen peroxide! So far I have around four or five mango seeds (along with four GROWING mango trees, two being over a year old!) and have used the "cling-wrap" method with these recent seeds and so far, ALL are germinating and no threatening mold!! All have roots on and one is going to be sending out a leafy shoot! Thanks again Rob!! ;-) :-)

    I live in canada where it's fairly cold. I have attempted mango seeds a couple dozen times... every time with the paper towel they molded even if I changed it and cleaned it.
    What I did and had 75% success was to put it long side up, bent side (where it will root) down into soil, and cover it with saran wrap until the plant wants to break through.
    If you take bottled or distilled water and add a capful of 3% hydrogen peroxide and water them with it it actively keeps the mold away... I saw this on RUclips but Can't remember where.
    The only ones I had no success with was green mangoes as i vouldnt get that paper off of them.. all of my yellow sprouted and are about 3 or 4 months old. And out of two red I have one that is doing really well and the other rooted but when the plant popped it didn't do anything. I'm about to try 3 more red.
    However avocados are another story for me... I have one out of about 15 that worked and is a little more than a foot after 7 or 8 months 😂 I also found they only worked for me directly in soil and not water method.

      I cannot picturize what you describe. Is it possible for you to draw a picture what you did and email me at exit2005@naver.com? It would be wonderful ~ thanks in advance ~

      I live in Switzerland and I’ve planted many avocados very easily, they are actually the easiest to grow, what you do is you peel the paper of off them as well put sticks and then put in a glass and place it on top of the radiator in front of a window, works like magic I’ve also grown avocados in the winter in UK which was very cold, i also find that Hass avocados are the fastest growing. If you try my method I guarantee you it will work 100%, don’t forget to change the water.

    Just did this,but i do not peel of the seed,i believe it there for a reason

      It is there for a reason, but that doesn't mean it benefits the plant growing in a safe and controlled environment, it's usually there for protecting the seed from animals that might try to eat it, it takes energy from the seed to break through the shell so it's really better to just take it off, higher success rate especially since it can trap mold against the seed and cause the entire thing to rot, much higher success rate to remove it since it's not growing in a less than ideal harsh natural way.

    Hey, just did it your way and it works. Now I have a little mango tree 10-12cm high.
    Today I've put my second seed to sprout and see how it goes!
