- Prepare the Mango Seed:
Wash a ripe mango thoroughly to remove pulp.
Extract the seed carefully without damaging the embryo. - Germination Technique:
Soak the seed in water for an hour to soften the seed coat.
Plant the seed in a transparent container with proper drainage. - Planting and Care:
Fill the container with well-draining soil, leaving space below the rim.
Plant the seed with the root downward and keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. - Sunlight Exposure:
Place the container in a shaded area with indirect sunlight.
Gradually expose the seedling to more sunlight as it emerges. - Nutrient Boost:
Consider using biofertilizers during watering to stimulate growth. - Transplanting and Beyond:
Transplant the seedling into a larger pot or directly into the ground as it matures.
By following these steps and providing proper care, you can nurture a mango seedling into a thriving tree, ready to bear delicious fruits.
