In fact, in nature, mango grows quickly until it becomes a tree of up to 25 meters high that manages to produce a quantity of thirst-quenching and vitamin-rich fruits, which in captivity is only possible under certain conditions: space and grafting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hint<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When to plant mango seeds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Planting the mango tree: germination<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to Plant Mango Seeds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to Grow a Mango Plant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When does mango bear fruit?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When to plant mango seeds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The most suitable seasons for planting mangoes<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;are late spring or, better yet, early summer. This time of year is characterized by mild temperatures and longer days that will allow the seedling to take advantage of more hours of sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mango, on the other hand,&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>is a plant that does not tolerate temperature changes<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and for this reason mild temperatures are ideal for sowing, for growth but also to keep it alive. In order to preserve the plant from thermal excursions during the colder months, it is advisable to use the same precautions used to protect lemon trees (i.e. plastic or fabric covers) or transfer the plant inside the house (provided it is in an area where it can be illuminated for several hours by direct light).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Planting the mango tree: germination<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Germinating the mango seed<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;before planting it in the ground helps to strengthen the young roots sufficiently, which will have a better chance of taking root and growing our seedling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best way&nbsp;&nbsp;to sprout&nbsp;&nbsp;mangoes is to use a plastic bag or food container as an &#8220;incubator.&#8221; In order to sprout mango, three basic steps must be followed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The mango seed must first be extracted from the shell<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0. This is a delicate operation during which care must be taken to clean the seed extracted from the peel, but above all not to damage it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>In a second step, it is necessary to create the artificial housing for the seed.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0To do this, it is necessary to wet a sheet of absorbent paper and place the mango seed inside without suffocating it or squeezing it too much. At this point, everything must be placed in the food container, or in the transparent plastic bag: anything goes, as long as it can be closed to keep the humidity high.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Caring for the sprouted mango seed is very important.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0The sheets of paper in which it was wrapped must be replaced at least once a week and must always remain moist (for this purpose we can use a plant sprayer). It takes a few days for the mango seed to take root and about two weeks for it to begin to germinate. When the sprout is about 4 centimeters high, it is ready to be planted in the ground.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Plant Mango Seeds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the root is strong and the shoot is vigorous, the time has come to plant the mango seed and the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;ideal place is&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>a not too large pot<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;of about 10 cm in diameter which is enough to accommodate the seedling and grow it in the first phase of its growth life, then transfer it to a larger vessel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>As a soil, it is advisable to use universal soil<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, easily available in supermarkets and garden centers, to be enriched with homemade compost.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>The seed must be planted as a cutting<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, that is, with the root downwards and the shoot upwards. If the root is made up of seeds wrapped near the shoot, there is no need to worry: when the mango seed is in the vase, the root will descend naturally. It is important to remember that the shoot must remain out of the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Grow a Mango Plant<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The mango tree needs a lot of water<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, especially during the growth phase. Therefore, it is important to water it regularly to prevent the soil from drying out completely but without creating stagnations that could make it suffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&nbsp;When the mango tree has grown stronger, the stem<\/strong>&nbsp;should be&nbsp; cut&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;at the height of the first node. This operation will strengthen it and give an impulse to its growth. In addition, the plant&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>should be placed in a well-lit place<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;but without excessive direct sunlight, especially during the hottest hours of scorching summer days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is possible to check the health of the leaves, the color of which should be bright and long and stretched. The mango tree grows quickly, but a healthy and strong plant is not enough to get fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>To make&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>the mango plant<\/strong>&nbsp;bear fruit &nbsp;, a graft is necessary and it is therefore advisable to contact a specialized nursery, alternatively it is possible to choose the seed of a local mango variety such as those grown organically in southern Italy and in particular in Sicily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When does mango bear fruit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The mango tree is a very particular plant and it takes years to bear fruit,<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;since a mango tree born from a seed can take up to eight years to bear fruit (but it can also fail if it is not grafted); while grafts produce fruits after 3-5 years and guarantee a good harvest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generally, the mango at the age of three or four years produces 10 to 20 fruits per tree, increasing to 50 to 75 fruits in the following years, and about 500 fruits in its tenth year of life. Obviously, from year to year, the plant grows and this will have to be transferred to increasingly larger pots or to soils capable of extending its roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having a mango tree that bears fruit is a real privilege because&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>this fruit is a true elixir of well-being&nbsp;&nbsp;that&nbsp;&nbsp;can be enjoyed in different ways<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;. In particular, mangoes are a good source of vitamin C, vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber&nbsp;&nbsp;that help fight lazy intestines&nbsp;&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, among its properties, it is worth including the anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties due to the presence of flavonoids, such as quercetin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An exotic plant native to India, the&nbsp;&nbsp;mango&nbsp;&nbsp;adapts well to all warm latitudes and can also be grown in pots, starting from its seed.&nbsp;&nbsp;Planting the mango seed&nbsp;&nbsp;in a pot is a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1833,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1832","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-1"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.9.1 -
