The wet tissue paper and ziplock bag technique worked for me, so it is possible to start a mango tree that way.

i have done this with a couple, but last I crumpled up actually a plastic grocery bag around the seed inside plastic ziplock bag and the plastic does not mold, it worked much nicer than paper. Viva paper towels were the best paper towels that I have used, they did not mold quick like the cheaper paper towels, which i had to change out like every 2 days
my grandma started to grow a tree when she bought a house 40 years ago and now our tree grows more than 1,000 mangos a year (they are small, sweet, and orange/yellow). Our tree needed a lot of maintenance when it was first growing but once it was in adulthood, we just watered it daily and planted the tree in the backyard!

OH MY GOSH! Just 2 weeks ago I was searching how to grow a mango tree from seed, because I wanted free houseplants. Now you uploaded this one. THANK YOU! You are the only one who gave care tips because I started like 8, and I have no idea how to care for them. They already have roots now! I am soo thrilled it worked! But I used the paper towel method, since the vid I watched suggested that. I also started like 6 avocado trees lol. Sorry for the rambling.

@scarlett hello there, I’m also growing one, I’m growing them indoors in the uk and would like to know how often to water them. 😊
We have 2 old mangoes in the family we all take my cousin's land he doesn't mind. I grow 3 avocados that I grow, bananas, culantro outside and on my balcony They are awesome. You put a leaf of culantro in your soup bean or stews. Great video.
So many views and no one takes the time to “like”. Your video deserves as many likes as views! Thanks for making it. I grow avocados so thought I would try mango. So thanks to your video, I will start this weekend.

Never thought of growing a mango tree indoors! Of course we do it with avocados, so why not? Having grown up in Jamaica I know how huge both trees can get!
My mango plant I sprouted from a seed randomly decided to have GIANT leaves. They sorta show up as red fancy leaves, then just droop like a wet sock till it start gaining green pigments in them, and slowly rise like an umbrella. Very interesting way to get new leaves as it likes to get the size first before it start using them :D
I’m looking to grow my first tree, this is perfect! Lots of good information

Your welcome.
I just put my 2 mango seeds in soil, watered them once (it was pretty cold in my country this month and not a lot of sun so there was no need for more water) and now, 2 or 3 weeks later i have 2 beautiful mango plants who look really healthy and grow really fast. I think putting them in soil after you remove that brown thing from the seed, is the best option. They also developed a really long and nice root system. The only down side to this is that, if you are a curios person, you won't be able to see anything happening in the first one and a half maybe 2 weeks, but once you see it emerge from the soil it will grow really fast. Mine emerged a few days ago and now it is more than 6 inches/15 cm tall. The other one emerged a bit later, but it is catching up. So definitely start them in soil and make sure not to drown them in water. Water your soil only if it feels dry at the top and don't try to make it grow faster. Leave nature do it's work
super informative, thanks for the vid! my mango seed just sprouted and i feel equipped to grow it and keep it alive now!
I grow mango trees in here in the UK I also gave some to a place that I go to but they over watered them, killed one and the other two lose there leafs in winter but grow back in summer. When I grow my mango plants I normally plant about ten seeds because not all of them survive the first year and ensures I get some healthy mango trees that carry on growing. Mine are about 3 years old now.
this is great ! I am working on my first ever mango seed and after a few days in a small jar it's coming along pretty wel, I can see it develop from day to day which is awesome :D
Thank you Scarlett, for showing us the best way to get the mango seed out, by simply cutting the hard shell on the thin, softer side to make a slit. This is the easiest and safe way that I have seen. I am excited now to grow my mango tree. With all the information you gave us, I think I have a high chance of succeeding. Take care.
No just put that seed in potting soil right out of the fruit . water it three times a week just good moister not sopping wet .four weeks you'll have a tree four inches .high I've done it ten times my way .

this is some great advice! really helped me getting my mango into soil, hopefully one day it will bear fruit and nurture some good people!
thank you for this video!! I have had a hard time finding care tips after successful sprouting of the seed! awesome! I was specifically looking to deal with the paused growth of my mango trees but you laid my anxieties to rest when you talked about them growing in spurts.
I have always wanted to try growing mango & avocado from seeds. So I'm starting today with Mango.Thanks for all your good advice. Especially the part about the sap burning your skin or the plant.
Great video 💕 I had to give away all my plants when we moved from Germany too. I was so sad to let them go but now I have a ton of plants.
This is so much simpler and relaxed than the other videos I watched first on this topic. Thanks!
I enjoyed this very much, not just for the vital information, but your attitude to the plant is actually almost maternal, as if they were your babies...Awwwww how cute!
Awesome video, thank you! I now have a 2 yr. old mango tree from seed, but I was having some problems, which I will hopefully be able to solve now. I've actually started adding nutrients to the water and it started growing new leaves which it hasn't done for a while before that. It's about 20-30 cm-s tall, but it's lost a few leaves and I had no idea about frostbite, especially since the tree stands on the windowsill, above a radiator. Thank you again! You've helped a lot.
Went back and watched this again. Jason bought me mangos and I want to grow them♡

how are your mango seeds doing?
This is the first time I've seen the wet (shot glass) method for mangoes! I have started a bunch of them with the paper towel method and you are completely correct about molds forming. I got a couple of mangoes at the farmer's market this week and I am going to start this first one of them using your method tonight. Great video btw! Keep up the good work.

Use a tiny bit of hydrogen peroxide in water and use plastic wrap as a substitute for the paper towel Since it’s not an organic material, it won’t grow mold :)
It should be noted that when you grow a mango tree from seed you won't know for sure what kind of mango you have until it bears fruit. Chances are good that it won't be the same kind of mango as the parent tree. If you want to be absolutely certain you're getting a specific variety you need to use the potted mango as "rootstock" and graft a "scion" from the tree you want onto it. I did this with a mystery mango tree I got from a neighbor...grafted a Lemon Merengue onto it. Grafted trees should produce fruit sooner.

Depends if its poly or mono embryonic. The one tree that sprouts from mono seeds will not be identical to the mother, but with poly seeds, one will have been from fertilization like the mono, but any others that grow will be identical to the mother tree, and thus the mother fruit.

@@chairwithoutwheels9148 Yep, good point...thanks for pointing that out. One year I got a lot of varieties of mango drops from a local mango farmer and opened the seeds. The vast majority of them were mono but a few were poly. I sprouted them and one of them is growing in my back yard now. We'll see what happens.

@@Acev14 If you use the grafting method (or similar, like air layering) the resulting fruit should taste exactly like the parent fruit. I think the same can genreally be said if you sprout a polyembryonic seed and then use the dominant sprout of the bunch.
This technique of putting the seed in a glass as described in the video 100% works. I did it and in a week I saw a root coming out, however I think I may have unintentionally put the seed upside down because the sprout it coming out of the top instead of the bottom! Not sure how this will plan out as I am not even at home and unable to check it. I did change the water when I went to check on it. Anyone who is looking to grow a mango plant this is by far the best method to do so. Good luck!

P.Varsani no, it's not, you just put it in a pot with whatever soil you want and it'll sprout within the week. I have 4, they're about 14 inches tall and 1½ months old. You just need to water them everyday, no need to do all that unnecessary shit. Seriously one of the easiest trees to grow.
you made my day with your video ! thanks ! i just put my seed 1/3 into water !!!!!!
So glad I watched this, you answered a lot of questions I had, thanks! I have a 6 week old tree about 6 inches tall at this time and a small yellow seed ready to plant.
Also the best thing to do in the winter months is to just have it well away from the window where it’s warm and under a full spectrum grow light :)

Mangoes die at temp -2C for 30 minutes, I recommend if you don't have a greenhouse. .You can plant mangoes have it trimmed like a "Dwarf"planted in a large pot with wheels that you can wheel out in summer and can be wheeled indoors in winter time. Sunlamp and adequate water are a must. We live in Central Florida, our friends in NY or Chicago can get their tropical fruits on that recommendation. The best alternative is a greenhouse, if available.Mangoes tolerate heat 25-35C in summer 10-20C in winter

I have just decided to try and grow mangoes. I have an order coming in next week and will ask my son to keep some of the seed back. Your advice was great, you added a lot more detail than some channels, which literally show you how to germinate the tree and nothing past that point. When I had building work done, I had a radiator placed below the lounge window, when the curtains are drawn that heat becomes trapped behind, thus warming the sill area. I also have a greenhouse in which I grow citrus, peach and melon. This autumn I plan to add heating to the greenhouse for the first time. I now think, following your advice, that I will overwinter the mango in the house (on the heated windowsill) and put it out (into the greenhouse) in late spring. My trees are all in containers and get moved about regularly, as needs must. I am now keen to get going on this new project! Thanks for your sharing your knowledge, Vox.
