Step: 8

When your seed has germinated and has formed a 2 cm or bigger root. Than it’s ready to be planted.

Step: 9

Mango Germination

When placing a seed in the ground always think of how they would land in nature. In this case the mango seed would fall on its side. So place the seed on its side, with the root at the center of your pot. now cover it up with about 2 cm of soil.

Step: 10

Mango Tree

After a few weeks your mango tree should be ready to be planted outside. Only plant your tree outside if you have warm winters. The temperature has to be atleast above freezing at all times. If you decide to keep your tree inside. Make sure you change the potting container and soil when the tree grows bigger. I recommed you repot your mango tree atleast once every year. (Source)
