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.

Last month I ate an Mango after watching your vid, I never opened the stone before but I thought I could give it a try since I saw you do it. The video helped a lot! I removed the "paper" and put it in the soil with my avocado tree to see what would happen. I had to go away for 2 weeks and when i came back there was a small mango tree and it is still going strong! Thank you for the inspiration. Cheers.

Thanks for sharing the update on this plant.

Thank you so much I tried the Seed technique but Did not use the Hydrogen peroxide in ziplock .. Somehow I kept the seed in ziplock on July 28th 2022 and I’ve opened it on august 9th I got the roots n a little life ready 🤩🤩 Thanks a lot for your videos they are so helpful .!! 🙏🏻

The brown droopy period is so short on mine, i blink and they go green im like mam are u okay? Love her thought she was a little dramatic when she first went outside, but she's growing strong now. Thank you for these vids!

Wish I could post photos in the comments, I followed you germination guidance on December 13th and on Jan 7th it was ready for soil and bag greenhouse. Over the last 3 days the sprout has more than tripled in size! And the leaves are starting to spread and unfold. At the rate it's growing I'm about to cut the corners off the bag to get it used to less humidity before it outgrows the bag-greenhouse. Mines an Ataulfo Mango (the yellow not the green) not sure if that affects growth rate or I just lucked out with an extra healthy seed. Thanks so much fir sharing this info one of the highlights of my holiday season and winter. 😀

That's a good little mango tree you have grown there 👍 👍

So informational and great video quality

Great video like always

Hi Rob! I have a total of three mangoes growing right now and out of the three, my first one is the first SUCCESSFUL mango that I have that's growing VERY WELL and looks similar to yours. Mine is a little over a year old now and she does growing in spurts. So far she's doing great and looking healthy! Yes, mine did the same as yours when it comes to the new leaves. The new leaves are reddish/pinkish and then after awhile they turn green! I noticed the newer leaves are a light green while the older leaves turn a dark green! I wish I had a way to show it to you here on youtube. As to watering though, I let the first inch of potting mix dry and I used the "second knuckle" test, which is when I stick my index finger down to the second knuckle and it's dry, I give it a good "drink!" I don't want it too wet or it could rot the roots! So far, so good! Keep up the GREAT work!! Looking AWESOME Rob!

Hi, new subscriber here! Love this series on Mangoes & how you describe the process. Thank you!!

Hey rob I just started growing lemons and tangerines you should show us your citrus plants!!

I just started this and have a mango seed in a bag, but I did your avocado one and I have 2 strong, baby avocado trees growing; one is 10 inches tall with two branches and one is 5 inches tall with a main stem

My August 7th seed died a few days ago but MU August 8 seed is thriving!

Thank you for the tips on giving the young plants some nutrients. What fertiliser do you use?

I’m currently growing two mango trees . Last year I started 5 which all died. 6 months ago I started 3 and one remain. The other is a two month old seedling . They are very temperamental,but they give you a great feeling of accomplishment.

They are temperamental for sure! Good luck!

Beautiful plant!!! Mine is about a month old and growing nicely problem though I have 8 shoots from the one seed!! Don’t know if they have separate roots yet.

Hi Rob What fertilizer do you feed your mango trees?

Just curious Rob. What does your planting mixture consists of? Now I use one or two parts potting soil (planting mix, not pure soil) to 1 part desert sand and 1 part worm castings. I swear the worm castings help them out BIG-time!

Have you tried to plant the seed directly to the ground? I’m from Costa Rica but I live in Texas mango don’t need that much water thanks for your video I have never tried to grow mango in Texas but your Idea I look great😎 PS… Also mango like direct sunlight

Suggestion only that may work for you/others, I wear rubber gloves in hopes to keep all clean etc.! I use a 1/4 cup of 3% Peroxide, then add 3/4 of "distilled water" = 4 to 1 & I found that using a cut bottle, or using organic paper towel in ziplock bag with some air in it with the peroxide method, then I put under my kitchen sink, my mango seeds in a bottle & trying the paper towel method, as well to see which does best & so far the cut bottle is #1. Also I'm trying to grow some Plums as well, from an organic tree, but those are in a bag with paper towel & in the refrigerator for a month, but keep a close eye on all yr seeds & keep them from molding & keeping all sterilized & clean all around... But never tried an almond seed, for a tree, hmm interesting & good luck to ya, IF you try... Of course with my Avocado seeds, I use the same mixture with Peroxide & D. water & in the window with the most light, but I have a container to where I don't need toothpicks. The container that I'm trying is a sterilized star shaped Viloe Jelly container, just to see IF this will work, hey I get curious & bored while being home bound, so I will see, in tImE, lol... Good luck y'all & no worries IF it /they don't work out, tis life & we move on in the most positive ways as possible, but enjoy the seeds/plants that do grow for us, ;)...

This series is sooo cool. It helped me a lot on my mango seed. However my mango seed has sprouted very well but their is 3 roots and the stem just came out today is it normal to have 3 roots? It’s also a Asian mango so could that be the cause? Keep up the amazing work! 🇨🇦😃🥭

It could be polyembryonic... Which is good, a better chance that they will be true to the mother plant.

have you ever growed weed in doors from seed? if no can u make videos ?

I’m a late viewer, how’s your mango tree growing now?

Hey Rob!! Great video 👍🏽! I just started the germination process for my mango seed 4 days ago, it's already showing signs of greening and it has a lil baby root lol 😄 My question is what kind of soil do you use for your fruit trees and vegetable garden(if you have any veggies growing)? I'm growing it all lol. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day😊, happy gardening!! 💚

I have a ton of veggies growing - I guess I'm super due for an update! I just use a mix of regular cheap potting soil (indoors) and Garden soil (outside) and my homemade compost. So 50/50 mix of soil and compost. I do add my own fertilizer to it - crush egg shells, dried banana leaves, coffee grinds, and epsom salt - about 1 tablespoon per gallon when I'm potting it.

@@RobBackyardGardenerr You use coffee grounds ? I didn’t know that they like acidic soil ?! What about sand ? Mine are a couple months old, and it’s starting to get cold outside…….. I currently have them in a greenhouse outside and they sprouted great, and had no idea whether I should bring them under my grow lights; I love the way they look, that’s the most beautiful baby mango I’ve seen yet ; )

What kind of soil did you use?

That is amazing... you are so good at these mAnGo pLaNtS!! But also, what if you grew key lime seeds? I think that would be a cool plant for you to grow. Or... sweet cherries... Or pomegranates... Orrr DRAGON FRUIT Yeah dragon fruit plants are cool because even I was able to grow them hahaha (or at least start them and get some tiny spines on them- they are not dead yet) But yeah they are cactuses and super awesome to grow and I 109% recommend growing them :D

That's so cool! Now I know an easy was to start a dragonfruit plant! Thanks so much that is such an interesting fact.

Do you need 2 trees to get fruit?

Are you Pep Gaurdiola long lost brother 😂 you look excatlt like him

Hi Rob, my mangos are now 64 days old and i also started growing 2 more, but on the one that is 64 days old i spotted brown/black dots all over his leaves and i think it is killing him. What do i do, is there a way to save him or i shouldn’t be worried? Please help:)

What kind of fertilizer, dirt and how much.. ? I have liquid NPK 5-5-5, or 10-10-10, and for fertilizer, what about sand, coffee grinds, worm compost, bone meal…etc.; Mine are potted, a couple months old, they don’t need any nutrients ?! please how often to water in correlation with fertilizing; thanks ; )

Hi Rob, I wanted to ask if how long do I have to keep them inside until they can receive direct sunlight. I've put one of my mango plants on direct sunlight and hes about 1 month old but brown spots started appearing on the edges of his leaves, I dont know if this is a nutrient deficiency or a disease.

Sloppy Tuber I have found they prefer partial sunlight over direct sunlight (at least here in Texas). I think because they are tropical they don’t like dry heat in the upper 90’s or more. Since I’ve placed it in shade it’s done much better.

Ok, thanks for the advice.😃😃

If they're seeds from store bought mangos, will i get fruit - eventually? Because I planted a butternut squash and it was clearly an F1 and never ever got past the fruit bud stage and wouldnt fertilize. Just wondering if the same is true for mango.

Fr Ya it should but only if I can keep it alive in my zone long enough for it to mature to the flowering stage (4-7 years).

Hey Rob, I live in California, USDA 9a and 10b USDA hardiness zone. Do you think mangoes plants can survive here? I just put two seeds for sprouting.

Good Morning Rob😊 Omg!!😲 Rob please help! Okay so here's what happened. Yesterday I was changing the water in the bag and the plastic wrap for the mango seed when I accidentally broke a tiny piece of the end of the tap root off 😢 I'm seriously freaking out right now!!😖 My question is, will it still grow? I checked on it this morning I don't see any black on end tip & the seed is greener. Also the top of the seed where the stem is going to come out looks greener than yesterday. I've got it in the bag now where the tap root is completely in water. I tried looking this up on google but it wasn't much help😞. Thank you for your time and I hope you enjoy the remainder of your 💚😊!

MissBee MakingYouThink you should be okay as long as the root is still fairly long! Keep some of the root out of the water to breathe though - no more than 1/3 or so since it is humid anyway in the bag. You should be fine!!

Kent and Kiett mangos almost always grow for me. Yellow Alphonso mangoes grow but never get very far. Haden mangoes always mold and die. Ataulfo do ok. But if you want a good mango tree in North America from the store Kiett and Kent seem to be the best... I have a 1 and 1/2 foot mango tree that’s a year old. Red skinned mangoes have a bad chance of growing because they are chilled to redden the skin and this kills the embryo or fatally wounds it. Get a green Kent or Kiett mango for a mono embryonic tree for a poly embryonic tree get a hatian mango

Speaking sindhi language trying it

Speak sindh please

Why don't you grow it outside it will grow very well outside
