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 provide you with an update on the 2 seeds that I started on 8/7/18, as well as the one started on 7/21/18. A few learnings: 1 - Once the root is a few inches long - plant them into a good potting mix 2 - Keep the pot covered with some kind of clear wrap/bag to act as a mini greenhouse 3 - Open the bag daily for a few minutes to allow air flow 4 - Once the seed sprouts a plant, cut holes on the top of the bag to allow the humidity to drop down from 100% to help acclimate the plant to normal conditions. 5 - Once the young sapling outgrows the environment, remove the bag I plan on keeping you updated on all of the seedlings progress from now until they either perish or flourish into fruit-producing trees.

Hi Bob I am very interested in watching your videos about planting seeds. Now I have also planted a mango seed and a small twig with leaves emerges from above, but you can also show if the plant is large how old it must be before those fruits come. Greetings Ron from the Netherlands
Hi Rob, Thanks for this, I've just managed to get my first one started. With regards to the Zip lock bag. I started using mine upside down. I cut the bottom all the way along & use the zip lock to open/close to water or allow humidity out.
@@ajalicea1091 Well, unfortunately, it only sprouted about 2 inches and then it stopped growing. I’m gonna try again when I get more mangos. Thanks for asking. 🪴🥭👍
I started a seed in a plastic bag with water and forgot about for a month lol came back and the tree sprouted to about 5 inches tall 😳 need to try and plant it in soil!
I forgot about mine for a week and it had already sprouted root and stem about an inch i was like, my bad queen but i wont forget about you anymore😂 now i set reminders every 3 days to check up on how its doing
It will take 10-12 years to produce fruit if grown in ground. If you really want fruits early even after a year you need to graft it. And for that you'll need a stem of the mango tree which is already producing fruits.
Hey Rob, love your videos! Have you ever attempted germinating coconuts? I’ve got 3 that just got going after almost a month of 100% humidity. Might make for a fun series for you.. Keep it up bud!
I think maybe the leaf damage on your mango was from when you pulled the bag off! I've had mine in a bag until they came up, THEN took the bag off. I had NO "SHOCK" with mine. I just now mist them regularly and during the winter, I keep the temperature a little higher because they like LOTS of warmth and humidity. :-)
@@RobBackyardGardenerr I've been planting this year (my first) and I'm sure that squirrel has dinned on more of my garden than I have hehe. PS, have you had luck with those harm free sound pegs made to repell rodents and moles?
Jessica Olson I have t tried those. I know pie tins hung from trees limbs have kept them away but only when the fruit is close to ripe (so they don’t get used to it over several weeks) and on windy days...
Thank you for the video! I have 3 mango seed that have roots...but I've tried planting different fruit seeds and they die! 😭😭😭😭 i won't give up....that's why i watch videos like yours to learn. ☺☺☺🍅🍆🍍🍐🌽🍈🍑🍓🍉🍇🍒
I live in zone 7b Chattanooga tn and I’m pretty sure there is a mango tree seed growing out of my compost pile! Could I transplant it and over winter it inside possibly?
Thankss soo much for this gift of experience and knowledge about our fellow Living green beings... sso helpful and time saving for best results....blesss creation ...thank s brother of light
Hey Rob, love your channel! Ive been following your mango tips and I’m about two and a half weeks into germination for my mango seed. I’m wondering what kind potting mix do you recommend for it.
Hi Rob, mine is 15days old and I made the mini greenhouse.. The leaves are growing so fast however they're 4 leaves the edges of two of them have curls (after 15 minutes of brainstorming this's the best description).. The leaves themselves aren't curling. Hopefully you'll u understand me :( I love you channel a alot btw, keep it up!
Hey Rob, I’m really enjoying your channel! Great info and you have a great smile and personality to go with it. I used your suggestion of using a ziplock bag to make a sort of greenhouse over my 2 mango seeds. They sprouted about a week ago. Two days ago I cut the corners off the bag and cut a hole in the top to reduce the humidity. The plants are 2-3” tall with very immature leaves at this point. How long would you recommend I leave the bag on for? Thank you!
Is it a compulsory thing to put the Cover around the seed ??? My seed looks green without a cover .. what does that mean would you recommend me to put the plastic cover around now ? It’s been more than 13 days I have planted the seed in the ground .!!
Hey your videos really inspired me and started geowing my own. I've got a bunch of tomatoes going and have started trying to germinate strawberries. The mango seed was going great. I took your advice on putting the well treated seed in clingfilm and left it to germinate in the airing cupboard for about 10 days, it sprouted a decent long root with a white tip and other additional roots off it and began to grow a sprout. So today I removed it and went to place it in soiled pot with a bag over it in the concevatory. Despite this I think maybe the worse thing may have happened, the white tip was abit more brittle than I thought and broke off on removal. Just the white tip. Will it still grow or is that game over. Would love to hear from you as you seem a very experienced gardener. I'm in the UK but we've been having really good heat recently I know it's a tropical plant but I hope the concevatory and bag will give it a really good green house affect. Any ideas would be much appreciated, cheers Tom! 👍👍
Hello..thanks for your efforts..your channel is beautiful and full of wonderful experiences and valuable information..I am a beginner in agriculture and I like your channel..please add Arabic subtitles to your videos..thank you again
Hey @Rob Backyard Gardenerr I germinated my mango seed and about to plant in soil. Would you say this greenhouse effect is the most effective? Or can I succeed by just putting it in partial sun for the first month. Can you give me some tips on sunlight please! Much appreciated! Love your vids!
Also a tip that I think would be helpful is that in nature they’re growing underneath the canopy a bigger trees so I think that they will never want to be in full sun
I would recommend to plant them vertically because where they sprout is at the top of the seed and so planting it vertical helps it grow straight and strong because it doesn't need to push the soil much and the seed itself. Also, I would just leave them outside because that is what I did and they turned out super healthy and strong, but I can't force you, but I can sure give a suggestion.hope you like it!!
Technically I’m not in the zone for Mangoes, but I live in South Africa which is Semi-Desert and I live on the East Coast where it is more wet and humid. It’s a perfect place to grow Mango trees.
I started 3 Mango trees from seed and they have stems about 8 inches high but now the tips are beginning to curl and get brittle. I have them inside due to cold weather. Temperature is 78-80 degrees and they each have plenty of water. Is it to warm for them?
What kind of dirt did you use? I had one seed one time get into a bout a foot tall tree with maybe six leaves but then I loved it so much I overwatered it and killed it and I was so sad but I have some seats going now and they’re sprouting am not sure what kind of dirt to use
@@RobBackyardGardenerr I was waiting for someone to explain how much sand to add ! I brought mine inside and these darn fungus knats are killing me; also: I cannot find an answer, I hope you can help me….. I have a couple 3 month old mangoes and just bought in; I have a 5-5-5 liquid fertilizer, but I’m not sure when to start fertilizing and whether to water/fertilize from the bottom or top….. do you add worm castings/seaweed fertilizer too ? Not knowing, I gave it to one at a month old and it burned and almost killed it; also, how much do you water them ? Thanks !! ; )
Rob! Is there an email I can email you at about the mango seed I’m trying to plant? It looks like there’s a bunch of white roots? Coming out of the top alone with the root that has small leaves. I don’t know whether or not to repot it or not and cover it...
I mistakenly damaged (like broke of at the near end) the developing root of my mango when I tried to transfer it in a pot it grew several inches, but then died I thought it would continue growing
The very fine white tip of mine snapped off, was that a similar situation with yours. I've put it in to the soil anyways. It's not over until it's over.. I just hope it still grows 😎🌱

Rob do you need to bury the mango seed in the soil or place it on top of the soil?
Hi Bob I am very interested in watching your videos about planting seeds. Now I have also planted a mango seed and a small twig with leaves emerges from above, but you can also show if the plant is large how old it must be before those fruits come. Greetings Ron from the Netherlands
Hi Rob just would to know the soil that you used was it potting soil or normal soil
I love that you call the plant “he”. And “this guy”.
I actually like the background pool noise. It is loud, but relaxing
Courtney Stuart 😁
AsorVoid haha okay! You noticed
Same here, I grew up listening to the creek running rite next to my house , love hearing it
Trying this method out. My three seeds are on Day 21 and I have just planted them into pots. Thanks so much for sharing this great video.
Update?
Best Tutorial I have seen so far. Well spoken, clear directions and some great ideas!! Great job!
Hi Rob, Thanks for this, I've just managed to get my first one started.
With regards to the Zip lock bag. I started using mine upside down. I cut the bottom all the way along & use the zip lock to open/close to water or allow humidity out.
I’ve just started my small mango seed planting. I hope I can get it to grow. Thanks for the tips.👍
How are things going with your mango?
@@ajalicea1091 Well, unfortunately, it only sprouted about 2 inches and then it stopped growing. I’m gonna try again when I get more mangos. Thanks for asking. 🪴🥭👍
Rob, PLEEEEZE answer my question. Do you have to separate polyembryonic samplings in a pot or can they be planted together in the ground??????
Rob, when you planted the seed, did you water the soil and if so, how much? I have 4 seeds ready to plant. PLEEEEZE REPLY ❤
Thank you! And, yes they are now upright and dark green! So delighted!
I love your yard Rob..actually so beautiful and neat..thank you 🌷👏
Thank you!
Mine tree growing crazy..I'm so excited about it...growing them in soil is so better than water..I started just a week before you
Is your tree still alive?? Any tips?
love that green house
I started a seed in a plastic bag with water and forgot about for a month lol came back and the tree sprouted to about 5 inches tall 😳 need to try and plant it in soil!
I forgot about mine for a week and it had already sprouted root and stem about an inch i was like, my bad queen but i wont forget about you anymore😂 now i set reminders every 3 days to check up on how its doing
Thank you ! I learned something new the green house thing is rather very new .stay blessed
That's a good mango tree you have there growing I hope you get sum good size mango from it wen it gets big 👍

this was helpful i never thought of keeping the bags to retain moisture... started today with 4 seeds and im looking forward to your next update.

I used your saran method on 7/28/20, and placed it into my garage. I will keep you posted. this is my 5th attempt....
I had a mango plant I started in June and a squirrel dug it out and ate it entirely 2 weeks ago. 😭

Good looking mango. I take my bags off when theyre an inch tall.
Hi Rob, mine is just about ready to move to a pot, what kind of soil do you use?
I started 3 Mango trees from seed and they have stems about 8 inches high but now the tips are beginning to curl and get brittle. I have them inside due to cold weather. Temperature is 78-80 degrees and they each have plenty of water. Is it to warm for them?
What if my mango seed is still yellow but has sprouted already? Btw the color of the sprout is orange and brown!!
What kind of dirt did you use? I had one seed one time get into a bout a foot tall tree with maybe six leaves but then I loved it so much I overwatered it and killed it and I was so sad but I have some seats going now and they’re sprouting am not sure what kind of dirt to use
Wouldn't using hydrogen peroxide only with the paper towel germination eliminate the possibility of bacteria ruining germination?
When is it time to remove the plastic bag from the baby mango trees?
What kind of soil did you use? Using your Saran method and tips. My seed is about ready to be potted and I was going to use MG potting soil.
I use 50% compost, 10% sand, 30% potting soil and 10% perlite.

How often should i water them?
My tree is like yours but the leaves are redder. Will they become green and more upright? Advise please
Jill Campbell they should - yes.
It's hot in California can I come over for a swim?
Thanks
How do you measure the 2 inches😳😬😕
What happens if you mistakenly damage the developing root during transfer....
Magni Thorson I guess it depends on how much you have damaged it.
I mistakenly damaged (like broke of at the near end) the developing root of my mango when I tried to transfer it in a pot it grew several inches, but then died I thought it would continue growing
Getting a humidifier would help it also.
So how do you plant it
Wow mago seed
Well it certainly can't be good that a great majority of people didn't continue to the second video in the series.
The root of my mango seedling snapped, but its still growing. So it didnt die
The very fine white tip of mine snapped off, was that a similar situation with yours. I've put it in to the soil anyways. It's not over until it's over.. I just hope it still grows 😎🌱
Where has the avocado series gone?
Coming soon! I promise!
Why are my leaves SUPER TINY??
Did your eye color change?

bswtsp21 no - they’re still green!
Mango trees look very simular to avocado trees🤔
