Learn How to Grow a Mango Tree from a Single Seed

Growing a mango tree from a single seed is simple and rewarding.

Start by removing the seed from a ripe mango and cleaning off all the pulp.

Carefully open the hard shell to reveal the inner seed.

Plant the seed in a pot with well-draining soil, about an inch deep.

Keep the soil moist and place the pot in a warm, sunny spot.

In 1–3 weeks, you’ll see the seedling sprout. As it grows, transplant it into a larger container or directly into the ground if the climate is warm.

Water regularly, but avoid waterlogging.

Feed with a balanced fertilizer every few months.

With patience and care, your single seed can grow into a fruit-bearing mango tree.
