From Seed to Splendor: Growing a Majestic Mango Tree
Ever dreamed of nurturing a majestic mango tree from a simple seed? It’s an achievable feat, but requires understanding the mango’s needs and providing the right care.
Understanding the Mango Seed
Mango (Mangifera indica) thrives in warm, humid climates. Its heart holds a seed encased in a tough shell (endocarp). This shell needs careful removal to avoid damaging the delicate sprout within.
Preparing the Seed
- Clean the Seed: Gently wash away any remaining fruit pulp from the seed.
- Crack the Shell (Carefully): Using a sharp knife, carefully crack the endocarp along its seam, avoiding the seed itself. Patience is key here!
- Soak the Seed: Immerse the exposed seed in warm water for 24 hours. This jumpstarts germination.
