- This is a step-by-step video about how to grow a mango tree from seed. Learn how to germinate mango seeds fast, how to open a mango pit and what your mango tree should look like in just 2 months.
I started germinating this mango seed in mid April. It was left to germinate in the bag for a month. Once planted, it started taking off and this is what it looks like after another month's worth of growth.

You did a great video. I love your voice. You speak to us with respect. Thank you for that. I gew a tree years ago in my neighbor's yard because I knew we'd be selling our house. It took about three years to get small manos, then all of a sudden the tree shot up and by five years it was tall and full of beautiful mangos. It's been 9 years now and I think it's the most beautiful tree ever. My neighbor Dave just brought me seven beautiful fruit. Every year. I love to see it in bloom. Making chutney and putting it on salads is my favorite. You explained this very well. I wanted to make sure that I remembered. I just cut my seed out. Thanks again. Nicely done.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your comment. And thank you for sharing your story. That gives me hope for my trees! I hope you've enjoyed your fruit and I wish you lots of growth and fruits once you start growing another tree.
Love this simple video. You cover everything, you get to the point and you TALK. In so many video's anymore there is no one explaining anything. Also, you have a good voice. You should look into doing audiobooks or voiceovers. Thanks again!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment. Glad you loved the video!
This is such a clear and easy-to-follow video; thank you so much for the instructions! I always wondered if store-bought mango seeds could be planted, now I know!
I'm glad it helped!
I just removed my seed from the husk and have it placed in the plastic baggy. I am using your video as a guide to grow my mango!! Thank you so much for your tips ❤
I wish you lots of growth!
how did it went ? I am two weeks behind
@@udd123123 i started mine like a few days ago its starting to sprout but its not ready to go in soil yet
I’m going to do the same thing with my mango seed. Idc if it takes five years to bare fruit, cuz it’s totally worth it ❤
Your technique in making the video is perfect! As well as your method for the seed germination- I was gifted some very rare variety of mangoes, and sure enough one has sprouted after following your instructions! Thank you.
Thank you so much! I'm glad I could help! I wish you lots of growth!
You’re a really great teacher…thanks!
Thank you so much!
hello! i love mangos and have experience with philodendron, soursop, and sweet potatoes! my mom teaches me, so we will be planting this together!
she told me to germinate a mango seed so we can both enjoy our favorite fruit together!
Sounds great! I hope you get good harvests and good fruit!
You are now my mom - thank you ❤️
Oops.. I left mine in the husk and went rogue before I looked up at how to but your video was so informative, I know how to move forward now. Thanks!
Also, your voice is so soothing! ❤
Thank you! I'm glad this helped!
If you plant a polyembryonic seed it will give you mangos that are the same as the fruit out got it out of, the one you showed there is a monoembryonic seed and it may give you somthing good or it may not, plus the polyembryonic varieties will fruit in as little as 2 years up 5 years but the monoembryonic varieties can take 10 years. You can graft a scion to the one you have there from a variety you like.
Thanks for the info about the polyembryonic and monoembryonic seeds. I like the thrill of not knowing what I'll get, but when it comes to fruit trees, I won't start worrying about that until I know they'll make it through at least 2 winters lol
How do uou know if its polyemrioic or not
Wounder if that as well
@@middermenace4891 A polyembryonic seed will sometimes be seperated into different parts that looks like they will break off or lie it might fall into pieces, go google images of polyembryonic mango seeds and you should get the idea, they are not always that easy to tell if they are polyembryonic or not, even if they are not you can get a scion of a variety you like and graft it to what you got so it's not worthless even if it is a monoembryonicseed.
@@middermenace4891 from google - "Normally, a single plant is reproduced from a single seed, and is called “monoembryonic” seed. On the other hand, there are seeds that reproduce multiple plant bodies from a single seed, and these are called “polyembryonic” seeds." Here's a TH-cam showing the difference with a video. Basically, this seed has one embryo and a poly has several embryos which you can separate to plant for several different trees. th-cam.com/users/shortsmcGoqstbEJY
Best video I've seen on the subject so far! I just follow your instructions, we'll see how it goes. TY again!
Glad it helped! I wish you lots of growth!
Love your video...simple and easy to follow. Wish me luck and thank you for sharing your knowledge on how to grow from seed a mango tree. I'll keep you updated.
I'm glad this video helped. I wish you lots of growth! Good luck!
Thank you for your simple and informative video! I recently acquired a mango seed and am anxious to grow my own mango tree! I already have a young pomegranate and lime tree, so this is very exciting to me!
Nice! I had some pomegranate seedlings growing too, but I overwatered them. How do you care for your lime and pomegranate trees?
@@vesgardens I keep them inside during the winter under an LED light and feed them Neptunes Harvest fish and kelp.
How’s it going?
Great video! thank you, short, sweet and straight to the point!
This is PERFECT!!! going to start mine tomorrow!!! Thank you!!! ❤❤❤❤
I wish you lots of growth and fruits!
Thanks from Thailand. My house has 3 mango trees already, but I want more!❤🇨🇷
Oh, wow! Must be nice!
Thanks a lot you covered all steps in very easy way.😊
Thanks for your video. I also forgot about mine for about a month and it had a long root similar to yours 😂. I put it in a put, but I'm kind of shielding it from the sun as it gets really intense down here. Still growing!
Yeah, I had to move mine under a tree cause it was stressed in the sun!
just starting! thanks for this very clear instruction🌞🌱
Glad it helped!
My seed has roots. Planting it today. Fingers crossed
Nice! I wish you lots of growth!
Vesma P, thank you for this super informative video. My wife is from Philippines, so we are mango fanatics - I have planted lots of mangos, but they always expire right about the 3 month time period - right about how your two month tree looks in this video. Mangoes grow like weeds in Philippines, but I think our desert climate here gets too cold at night after about September for them to thrive here too long.
What's the sweetest varieties yall have tried? I'm already thinking about how I'm going to care for it come fall/winter. I'm determined to keep it alive. The seeds I've grown in the past never really made it past the two leaf stage (probably because I tried to keep it indoors).
I have a mango tree that my aunt and uncle in Okeechobee gave me and it’s in the ground now. But some members of my church gave me some honey mangoes a couple of weeks ago and after seeing g your video, I wanted to see if I could try the same with the seed from them.
Very helpful and insightful video. Also, Miracle Gro has a ‘Shake ‘N Feed’ granular fertilizer for citrus, mango and avocado trees with and orange dispensing top on it. I got that from Lowe’s.
Thanks for letting me know!
First off, great video! This is my second attempt at growing a mango tree. The first time, I followed the exact same steps and my plant grew well initially, pushing out leaves. However, each time new leaves sprouted, the old ones dried up and fell off. Eventually, I noticed the stem turning black. I had been growing it indoors in Canada at a constant 74°F, but I'm thinking maybe the humidity was too low? I suspect I may have overwatered it as well.
This time around, I'll be more mindful of the watering schedule. My goal isn't to grow a full tree, but having a mango plant brings a bit of home to me. Any tips to improve my approach this time would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again.
thank you very much for helping me i hope to make and hopefully sell some mangos thank you😊
Happy I could help! Good luck! I hope you sell a lot of mangoes when the time comes.
Just wrapped mine to dry thank you for sharing ur knowledge
Let me know how it goes!
I like the video. I would ease up on the Miracle Grow since you are adding amendments to the soil already.
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you! Your video is very helpful!
@@trixiegirl9401 glad it helped!
Some nice good tips. I’ve been throwing my seeds in a raise bed and wait for it to grow then transplant. I’m not sure I can do this for hundreds of seeds. My last season I have to clean hundreds over ripped mangos to harvest the seeds. It was Venus variety. Big producer and big fruits but all rip at same time because we didn’t sell it on time
Thanks. I couldn't imagine doing this for hundreds of seeds. You could throw majority of them in a raised bed and just wait and clean just a couple like this, maybe for yourself or something.
Plant the seed now time will fly by 💯
Thanks for the videooo❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This was an awesome tutorial, short and sweet.
I just put mine in its baggie and quick question, should I leave it inside or outside while the root grows? And how much sunlight should I give it? Both questions are for right now while it’s in its plastic bag. Thank you again!
Thank you! You can leave it inside until you're ready to plant it in soil. Once you plant it, you can keep it in partial sun once it starts growing and move it to full sun later. It depends on your environment. For me, during the summer, the sun can be too intense so I just kept it in partial sun.
This helped me so much thank you so much
I'm glad it helped!
Do you store the Mango seed in the Plastic Bag in the Dark or in a sunny place?
Thanks
I keep it in a dark place
Thank you ❤
You're welcome!
Great video! 🥰
Thank you!
You should do an update on the plan!❤❤
Unfortunately the mango tree died in a freeze.
@@vesgardens awwww
Morning, I've been trying to germinate 3 mango seeds in a damp paper towel sealed in a zip lock bag, for about a month now but without success, what am I doing wrong ?
Where do I put it
Thank You for the help❤
my mango is going in the bag wish me luck :)
Good luck!
So, right after we plant the seed, it's ok to put pot in direct sunlight??
I would recommend easing it into direct sunlight. Keep it in a shady spot for a few days, partial sun, then direct sun. Of it can't handle direct, move it into partial.
My mango seed has a root or stem growing out about 2-3 inches. Do I plant that down or up? Not sure which way the plants going to sprout. Ty for the tips! ❤
If it's the root plant it down, but if you're unsure just plant it sideways! The tree will find it's way up!
Where do you place the seed to germinate ?? Is under a grow light ok?? I'm doing this now with my kids
When I use the paper towel method I just keep them in a dark place like a drawer or something.
Question. If you have multiple, how far apart do you have to plant them? And if you live in a place that snows in winter, will they survive, or do you have to bring them inside? If you have to bring them inside for winter, what's the care for them? Will they be ok without any humidity?
I plant them in their own containers. I've read if you want to plant them in ground they should be 10 feet apart. My tree did not survive the winter, so yes, bring it inside. Just make sure they good light for at least 6 hours, needs to be in well-draining soil, water when soil is dry. You can get small humidifiers for humidity.
@@vesgardens tysm! I planted my first set a month ago in individual containers indoors, they're thriving so far. I have a few yellow mangos germinating, hopefully they will work as well in the same conditions 🤞
Love love love your channel, thanks for the help 🩵
You're welcome! I'm glad they're growing and hope they continue to thrive!
I'm planing to plant but can't wait for 6 years ..... have mercy u mango 🥭 😌💀
Lol plant it now, time flies!
Thanks for the video. 👍🏾🤎
Help! My mango seeds have roots that are still growing, but they are dark brown and black, with hints of green. Did I do something wrong? The roots look fine but as I said the actual seed looks like it if on the verge of death 😅
In my experience, the seed itself will start to shrivel and decompose, just look bad, once the roots start growing. You probably need to go ahead and plant it lol
@@vesgardens okay thank you
love this your great I will subscribe have many more things i wanna plant I have an apple from seed and hes 3 inches wooooo ty
Nice!!! I hope you get lots of growth!
@@vesgardens mine went moldy i forgot about it for couple days
but i will try again
@@wildabeast1 did it mold to the point where it started rotting away or could you try to save it by wiping it down with hydrogen peroxide and possibly try again or plant it in soil?
When its ready to be planted do you plant the with the sprouted root down into the dirt or facing up in a pot? Ive seen conflicting videos about this. TIA
Yes, I plant root down. The tree will find it's way up.
How did it not get mold? Mine became moldy after 2 days!
Sometimes mine do too!
@@vesgardens And they still germinate healthily?
If it's soft and rotten, no. But sometimes, with any fruit seed, if it's still firm I'll just wipe the mold off and replace the paper towel. Sometimes those germinate a little slower.
Where should i put it on the counter or in the fridge?
You can keep it in the fridge if you want. I always keep my in a dark place like a drawer or something.
Trying this today.
Once the seed is wrapped in the wet paper towel and in the bag. Do you put it in the refrigerator, or do you leave it at room temperature?
I leave it at room temperature keep it in a dark place.
@@vesgardens Thank you!!!
Can it come out from the husk naturally? If it's in the right environment?
@@OmerBugaiski yes, of course. It just might take longer.
@@vesgardens
I put some mango seeds (with the husk) in a quite dry soil, in the hot Israeli summer.
I'm wondering if they will eventually germinate and make sprouts, or whether they'll dry out and die. We'll see.
@@OmerBugaiski interesting. Let me know if they sprout!
i never grew anything. but i really like mangoes. Do i put the seed away from the sun or can i leave it by the window under the sun? (after putting it in a ziplock)
I always keep seeds away from the sun when I use this method.
@@vesgardensthank you! my mango seed sprouted pretty quickly in the past 2 weeks since i commented! I’ve gone and potted the seed, But my next question would be, how often do i need to water the seedling? I live in california where we’re getting towards the summer heat, and i just want to know how long and often the seed needs its dose.
Okay🥳I’ve saved 3 mango pits🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳My issue I keep having ☹️mold before I get the seed out😩😩😩I will try the paper towels today🫶🏽💝💝💝
Yeah, try wrapping them in paper towels to let it dry first. I haven't had any issues when doing this. In about 3 days it should be completely dry to work with. I just let another pit dry overnight. It was still a little moist, but not too bad to work with. Good luck! ✨️
Use cinnamon or peroxide for mold
If you can set up an indoor environment you can see fruit in 3 years because it will be growing year round, not just surviving in the winter
Thanks for the tip!
How would u go about doing that? Greenhouse with a heater?
Thanks for information 🥺ℹ️ please ☺️☺️☺️☺️
is it okay if I cut the husk in the edge so the actual seed is barely visible and then I can wrap it in the wet paper towels?
I've never done it, but try it and let me know how it goes!
@@vesgardens alr, thanks!
How much time it take to give fruits
I've read at least 8 years, but I've seen different numbers.
does jt matter weather or not i keep the seed in the dark or in the sun if it is in a papertowel
I keep it in the dark.
Just put that husk in the pot it will sprouted by taking some time
I have one that has a polyembryonic seed. Won't these have one stalk that is an exact replica of the mother plant? Shouldn't this be a high quality plant?
After a few days, it has sticky white stuff all over it and the paper towel has brown spots on it. What the hell is this?
Polyembryonic seeds produce clones. So if it was a good mango, I would assume it would be high quality given you're caring for it properly too. The sticky stuff and brown spots sound like mold. If the seed is still good, I would just clean it off and change the paper towel.
@@vesgardens Okay, thanks.
It worked! But only one of my 4 seeds grew. The other 3 got moldy and rotted. 🙁
One is better than none!
Help me how do you know if your seed is moldy does it turn black !??
@@RubiSanchez-pr2dc my seeds had white furry mold on them. If the seed turns black but the plant starts growing, I'm not sure that's bad.
I’ve been growing my mango tree for 3 days now, it’s starting to get brown and I was looking to see if that’s normal? Btw my seed has open now
What's turning brown? The seed or tree? Usually brown is a sign of rot. Maybe there's too much moisture?
@@vesgardens sorry I meant seed. I do think it’s too much moisture, it’s probably from me changing the paper towel to much.
Why are you changing the paper towel so much? Is it mold? If so, some people suggest using cinnamon for that.
@@vesgardens I heard it was a good way to prevent bacteria and mold. Guess they were wrong
Do you know that mango is one of the fastest fruit to grow
false, mangos can take 8 years to grow
Mangos grow only in warm climates. You must bring it indoors during winter. My
brother keeps his in the garage.
This is so helpful!! Thank you!!
You're welcome!
I live in desert
Frizze mango???? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔THANK you....
Didnt work the seed got brown
I've had that happen too.
You forgot to sprinkle cinnamon on it to prevent mold growth
Sounds like a bad idea as fungus is vital to plant health.
@@jamesj8007 mold can and will quickly kill seeds
@@jamesj8007 adult plants maybe but it will quickly kill seeds
i have used one of my mango seeds so i have 3 left
Let me know how it goes
@@vesgardens oke
@@vesgardens its going good on day 1 it has a little sprout
@@AperioPlays nice! I wish you lots of growth!
How was your mango tree?
The mango trees died from the winter freeze. I didn't bring them in smh. I have two other mango trees growing now though!
Me waiting 5 years to eat a mango💀
PSA to boycott peat moss ✨️
This method is not applicable in all places and seasons, I just tried it, my mango seeds got spoiled
That's happened to me too. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. If you try again, I hope it works, but if not, I hope you find a method that works best for you.
1:39 as long as it is alive and after that it is dead ☠

Max sea plant food is the best
Thanks. I've been looking for new plant fertilizers.
HELLO LEAVE TEH HUSK ALONE AND I PLACED MY IN VAPOR DISTILLED DRINGKIN WATER AND IN A WEEK THE SPROT WAS AL READY OPEING THE HUSK ON ONE SIDE AND GROWING.... SAVE YOUR SELF THE PAIN OF GETTING HURT....
You can do it both ways
