This guy is quite literally living my dream of being a self made farmer that grows my two favorite foods; avocados and mangoes lol I always thought it was odd how similar the two fruits were being the Pearish shape with a large seed in the middle you have to cut around but also growing on the tree similarly. Makes me wonder if they’re related and why I love both of them so damn much. I just sprouted my first mango seed and am so excited to grow it. Unfortunately I’ve tried avocado seeds but never get past the first stage of the tooth picks halfway in a cup of water as the water starts to ferment before the seed even sprouts :/ I really want my own fruiting mango and avocado trees but hopefully this mango seed is a good dna that fruits a lot as I don’t have any trees to take clippings from

When I saw the grafted tree, I immediately remembered your recent video about grafting avocados and the fact that another plant could grow from a rootstock later on. The way this mango is grafted - under the first set of leaves - seems like a nice way to prevent that from happening as there is no leaf node to support such growth. Unless mango is the type of plant which sometimes grows another plant from its root. Anyway, I am really happy to see a video about mangoes from you as well. I've always been a huge fan of tropical plants, probably because those are something impossible for me to grow or even come across as I don't live in tropical climate. Mangoes are my favorite of those, so it is no surprise that I tried growing my own plant in a pot, not expecting any fruit, just for the sake of growing it. Unfortunately, all my attempts over the years have failed. I managed to get a plant several times using the first method you showed (although it always took a few weeks rather than just few days), however, the plant itself always stopped growing after the first set of leaves grew and died afterward. I think fungus gnats are the cause, they always appear out of nowhere and cause havoc...
@SleepyLizard4 жыл бұрын
Pepso8P, thanks for the comments. Sometimes when I go to edit the vids I end up cutting something that in retrospect to I should have left in the vid. For example, that seed I had in the plastic bag for 10 days was one of five that I put in bags. The other 4 haven’t even started to sprout yet. I think it’s grate meat that you’re growing tropical fruit trees in your house. Maybe someday you’ll have access to a greenhouse and you’ll get fruit!

@@danielsnyder8106 There are two possibilities. If the tree you planted was polyembryonic then you'll get the exact same mango variety as the one you ate. If the tree is not polyembryonic then you'll get a unique never before seen variety of mango (just like when people are born). If you get fruit in year 4 it will have been polyembryonic. You can then compare the way it looks to mangos online and determine the variety. If on the other hand you're 6,7,8 years down the road with no fruit it might take 10 or more and it will be unique.

Awesome video, thank you! Is there a source that you can recommend to buy the cuttings to then graft onto the seedling? I watched your avocado videos, and have the same question there, too. Thanks again!
@SleepyLizard Жыл бұрын
Hi Harry, I don't have a source but it's seasonal so the only thing I can think of would be to check google periodically and you'll find somebody selling online.

Thank you for the education, my mom had a awesome mango tree she gave me a small plant from the tree and know years later it’s about 50’. two years ago maybe more I rescued a seedling and replanted expecting beautiful mangos … no luck they are so horrible that the insects won’t touch them … now I understand I guess I’ll take it down and try grafting thank you
@SleepyLizard2 жыл бұрын
yeah this can happen depending on the variety the seed came from. Good news is you can always go back and graft it.

Hey man, just in case you’re unaware, you’ve got like thousands of dollars worth of variegated monstera at around 2:05. Sell those cuttings
@SleepyLizard4 жыл бұрын
John, thanks for the suggestion. Maybe you found me a funding source for the new shade house i want to build. Have you ever eaten fruit from the monstera? It's delicious but also a little risky because it'll burn your mouth if it's not ripe. Heres a vid I did on it a few years ago: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pbh8adurqdPNeo0.html

Yesterday bought two 🥭 to try from the farmers market here in Texas, loved them. I was wondering how to grow them so I could have them growing from seed. Saw your video and absolutely loved the instructions from this video. I’m a new subscriber, and want you to know I have written down the process from your information. By the way I am also growing lemons, oranges, lychees and avocados from seeds. I love growing plants, and where I live it doesn’t have too much cold here until December to March. Then starts warming up quickly by April. On the cold nights I bring them inside, my question is: When do I need to plant them and how do I keep them from the cold since they are able to be planted outside? I live in the North Eastern part of Texas near Oklahoma.

Sounds good. You ancestors would have referred to a bell pepper as a "mango"...they still label them that way at the supermarket up there.

Bought the last available mango in the store, was a delicious juicy one that was sweet and was an excellent pick to make mango juice…but to my surprise found a already germinated seed inside the mango ready to get planted, unfortunately I didn’t have a pot so I put it in a mug filled with water for a day, then a zip log bag the next day and finally came back for it within half a week after I got a pot and soil for it. Now it’s a healthy and a rapidly growing seedling in my balcony hehe

I lived in Florida all my life and have never seen a mango that huge!!! Wow!!! Nectarines and mangos truly are 2 of my favorites...loved your video! I have a mango tree growing doesn't require much, I tried to fertilize it and it was none too happy. It's still hanging in there. I'm looking into Bonsai so that i can keep it. Unsure of what species it is.

so i started this process before watching the video and i want to say that for me personally, i found that it's a lot better to put the seed in a container filled with water and cover it, at this point my mango plant is around a month old and it's currently in a pot but i wanted anybody who reads this comment to know about this alternative method
