I’ve only tried with natural light in spring and summer. Even with a grow-light, I would not recommend it during the winter months because it’s dormant.

They were outside. It seems that they take better when planted close together as opposed to each cutting in its own individual pot.

Do you have any videos on how to start the mango bonsai?

Yes. Took a seed from a supermarket mango, kept the seed watered in soil and it sprouted. Some will say to remove it from the pod but i didn’t. Let it grow for a few years to thicken the trunk and then chopped it back. I was worried it was not going to bud back after hard pruning down to the trunk, but after 3-4 weeks it did. Good luck! 👍

@jeremypinto3274 No, but i’ll see what i can do in the spring. 👍

Ok, I have about 30+ mango seedlings 🌱 now that are about 2-3 years old as I have been practicing grafting. I wanted to turn one or two into a bonsai if possible.

You can do that. The longer you leave them, the more roots you’ll get.

Took a while, but they rooted. 👍

Ive heard 4-6months for Kingsville. Glad to hear ya did good!👍

My bonsai soil mix, which is typically equal parts pine fines and Arcosa lightweight aggregate (or some other fired clay). What i used in the video was from the bottom of my container, so it had a lot of finer granules which i sift out for my bonsai soil.

If there’s at least 4-8 weeks of growing weather, yes. Even if there isn’t, you can check if there’s roots after that time and if not, leave them over winter and they may take root in the spring.

@@RedDirtGardens Thanks a lot. I'll give it a try.

Thanks!

Yes. It’s cheap and convenient. 🙂

Good to know! This will stay in a pot and will also be air layered.
