Grow Your Own Mangoes In Containers! - Complete Growing Guide

[@thingsretiredpeopledo3060]

I live in Ontario. Near the end of October, I was tidying up outside and found a mango seed had sprouted. I had attempted to grow one earlier in the summer; nothing happened and after couple of weeks, pushed the pot to a corner of the yard and forgot about it. It was only just above freezing and had been for a few weeks - I couldn't believe this thing was alive! I brought it into the house and wintered it with my aloe (which I had brought in back in September). Now, being Spring, my baby mango is starting to take off and I'm so glad you made this video because I have NO idea how to take of an orphaned mango. I'll tread carefully - many thanks :)

Finally someone who agrees that dwarf fruit trees do better in smaller 5-10 gallon pots. I been telling my local nursery this. My dwarf lime, lemon, emperor lychee, and ice cream mango plants are flourishing in 5 gallon pots. My bay leaf exploded after I downsized it to a five gallon pot. Subscribed to you for sure sir. 🙃😉❤

[@angelaanderson1593]

I live in Los Angeles and funnily enough a mango seed sprouted in my compost pile about 9 months ago. I wasn't sure what it was until I saw the seed pod. I transplanted it into a 5 gallon pot with a well draining potting mix and it is flourishing. The new leaves are burgundy and there are many growing. It is about 18" tall now, I have it on a drip line and feed it along with my other plants just regular plant food. Don't know what I'm doing but it must be o.k. because its doing great. Wish me luck and keep up with the great videos!

I grew a mango from a seed about 20 years ago . That thing grew to be a 7 ft tree after about 7 years . The seeds are easy to start just plant it in a large houseplant pot with a wandering Jew or Coleus plant sprig on top . When the mango seed spouts just remove the sprig . It’s just there so you won’t forget to water it. It was a houseplant but they get large. My Bajan grandfather said, “ Dat wone set de fruit” and it didn’t but I liked the plant anyway.

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

People who do this might be even happier by growing several types of Mangoes in containers. It actually works out better than just one big bushy potted tree. I mean you could fit 10 in the average spare room in winter and in summer- fall you can pick a few off this type and a few off that type...like that. In marginal California same thing only cover outside if freezing temps move in..but just think how many you could keep even in a small backyard. Better climates beg to be planted..but that's another topic.

[@obviouslytwo4u]

I did a project where I grew a mango seed in soil with vegetable food waste in the bottom and in the top allowing the centre to be filled with soil as a temperature buffer because I wanted to get the heat from the fermentation of the food to keep the seed warm and it worked like a treat.

@@laljiahir5193 haha

[@midwestmangos2452]

@@laljiahir5193 in case this is a serious question (in which case I apologize for my previous comment, laughing as I thought it was a joke) mangos are tropical plants. They grow best in temps between 27-45*C which equates to about 80-110*F. Above that temp they can experience heat related damage. Mangos can handle temps down to about 55-60*F without damage, simply slowed growth, however below that temp some minor damage or stunted growth is likely. Below about 45*F minor damage is guaranteed and seedlings or young mango trees not acclimated to cooler weather may die if exposed for too long. Michigan has an average winter high of about 30*F and winter low of about 15*F, at 30*F most young trees are guaranteed death and adult trees (those too large to be moved in and out in containers unless SERIOUSLY pruned like crazy) will almost be guaranteed major frost damage and loss of all foliage and young branches. At the coldest average temp even adult trees would be guaranteed death and his mango is far younger than a fully mature adult tree that I'm referring to. Also keep in mind that half the time the temp is below that average for lows and highs, which means it is close to impossible to grow a mango to full maturity in that grow zone. The alternative would be to keep it potted and VERY well pruned, in which case it still may eventually outgrow the container and house it's in but will likely reach fruiting age and may produce fruit if conditions such as temp and light can be kept ideal for the plant (80*F+ if possible, quite a bit above comfortable room temp) yet a year round heated greenhouse would be even better. We live in grow zone 5 which is even colder than Michigan, sometimes reaching 20 below zero or colder in the most extreme winter's, yet there is someone who designed a well insulated greenhouse that uses geothermal heating (fancy word for pipes buried VERY deep below the frost line to give the greenhouse somewhat warmer air) to keep citrus plants (oranges and grapefruit mostly if my memory is correct) which have very similar tropical requirements to mangos, which could make this a suitable alternative to keeping the plant small and moving it inside and out each winter if the greenhouse can be kept big enough. If you have any other questions about mangos or mango growing I'd be happy to help as best I can. We are growing our mangos indoors until it gets warm enough outside, our grow room is insulated so we can keep it warmer than the rest of the house for our tropical plants but we are also working on building an attached greenhouse built around the door to our backyard so we can have access to year round plants including our mangos.

[@gardentips1249]

[@ymrelang]

I live in Michigan for 6 years now. I have pineapple, mango, avocado, lime and lemon trees. I have them all in pots. As we speak, they are still outside and temps here, at this time of the year, are 42 and up. All from seeds. Very easy to grow all of them. The problem with mango and avocado is repotting them. To feed them, I just blend all vegetable scraps with water and water them with it. To repot them, I add vegetable scraps first, then, the soil finally plant and potting soil, I do it in a hot day on the shade. It’s easy. I talk to them a lot!!!

[@rickyj8054]

I'm in Wisconsin and I grow several fruit trees indoors (in the winter) and outside (during the summer). So far I have two orange trees, a Suriname cherry, a cattley (strawberry guava), dragonfruit, starfruit, coconut, and Pepino melons; I've also killed several over the years. When moving plants from inside to outside or vise-versa, move them a little more everyday to not cause severe shock. Starfruit leaves are extremely sensitive (they open and close when disturbed) and drop when moved into a new environment. With light, a 120 watt plant light especially works great and adds extra warmth. The more light, the more fruit. So far I have gotten the cattley guava, dragonfruit, Suriname cherry and one orange tree to fruit indoors. The starfruit flowers twice a year but the flowers always end up dropping off. Years ago I ordered a mango tree and it flowered and I got 2 fruits off 1 small tree; but then the tree died. The mistake was that it put all of it's energy into producing the fruit exhausting the plant. Don't let it fruit the first few years. Also, dont plant these fruit trees from seed if you expect fruit. For 1 the fruit may be poor quality or good quality. And for 2, the trees take years to bear fruit, if at all. Get grafted DWARF varieties.

It was the same routine in the winter of putting them outside during cold 43 degree mornings and then bringing them inside when it got back to 45 in the evening.

[@agriperma]

Mango trees are really not "ultra" tropical, they are actually native to sub tropical zones. cold snaps in the 40's on occasion wont really hurt them. as for nitrogen, a slow release balanced, 6-6-6 or 15-15-15 is ok in infancy stage. but many mango growers in the south ( in ground trees ) even stop adding nitrogen all together once trees are adult size. nitrogen stimulate leaf growth, and not flowering. the little nitrogen from mulch is all that is needed once tree is adult. but adding some in very poor soils is ok, timing is key. I totally agree with the water/drainage recommendations. very well drained, do not over water ( biggest mistake people make specially in potted plants ) think about the native enviroment where these trees come from, about 7 months of very low rain fall, then after harvest , it rains for like 2-3 months ( monsoon ).

Your tree is big enough for grafting take one brunch from mango tree that produced before and do the grafting with it note no matter which type of seed you planted you'll get local mango type it you didn't do the grafting with the type that you want also there's benefit of grafting your tree will produced fruits in one year only sometimes untill three after permanent cultivators in the ground instead of six years + mango tree roots can go untill 5 feet in the ground so you need a big barrel

If you graft it, you will probably also get a much better fruit. If you grow mangoes from seed, they can be extremely stringy with a bad flavor that reminds you of turpentine.

[@voxintenebris6367]

Thanks for the advice! I am new to growing mango (haven't killed it yet, but it only arrived yesterday). It sounds to me as if you more or less treat a mango as a citrus plant. I live in a cold, predominantly wet part of the UK, so my take is that the mango (Alphonso) will stay indoors for all but the best of summer weather. However, am I better off only putting the mango out in the day and still bringing it back in at night? Sadly my house can be dark at times of the year, so being in isn't ideal, but needs must at this point. I would like to put the tree outside in good weather (end June - mid August), but am feeling that the overnight cold would be too much of a difference in relation to daytime heat. In addition, another channel recommends more or less cutting the mango down to half its size before the trunk thickens, thus promoting 3 branches of growth in place of the main stem. The following year, he advises the same to each individual branch - again with the same result. The tree takes on a pyramidal form with lots of flowers after a few years. It seems a good idea, but not living in the ideal part of the world for a mango I would be cautious. Have you or anyone else tried this technique - I would be interested to hear results. Thank you, Vox.

Hi! Awesome video! thank you! I have two questions. The planting guide mentioned putting a fish on the pot, so I did. I planted my mango with a 2 pound tilapia. Should I add more fertilizer? Also, how do I make my soil more acidic? should I add some lime fertilizer? Thank you!

[@FamilySmith]

Incredibly awesome video!

[@mam564]

Great video! Very helpful tips! Thanks!

[@curtflirt2]

Hey Lucas, I received your Trifecta + Fertilizer today and would like to say thank you for the quick shipping.

[@TheUncannykodiak]

I’m in 9a and mine do fine🤙- Of course I’m in Florida so yeah

[@FelipeRubio85]

Arthur Brown The UNCANNY KODIAK l live in Ocala Florida and I just got a mango tree hopefully mine does as good as yours.

[@janelleplopez]

Do you grow it in a pot or land?

[@EricBishop_]

I guess I'm in 8a in eastern NC and I've grown 5 mango trees 2 died but the 3 have done great. And we also have 8 banana trees! Last year we were able to harvest a small amount of bananas on our 10ft tall tree

[@MT-jf1tn]

Can you use the aquarium water for the mango tree?

[@pinayinpa142]

I am growing Sour Sop "Guyabano" and Calamondin "Kalamansi" in the pots .

[@maryannlarsen1727]

im also growing kalamansi in my pot, I'll be transplanting soon to a bigger pot

[@pinayinpa142]

I have to transfer mine soon also.

[@zingymantella590]

I am also growing kalamansi. They are almost 1.5 years old... one of them are dark green and bushy the other is tall and light green... I added Epsom salt a couple weeks ago hoping it would darken up. I also need to transplant them soon.

[@jojo1DrSeuss]

Did you get fruit from the sour sop?

[@who8dapple]

Pinay in PA, where did you get your guyabano seed? I would like to try growing that and Mangosteen!

[@628DirtRooster]

Ha! What a perfect video to watch right now. I just got done ordering a mango pineapple flavored BCAA mix. Don't know how they'd do down here but we've got the heat part covered.

[@DaveTran-]

Luke appear to be very excited talking about mangos.

[@maskcollector6949]

Build your own greenhouse and do a video over it - it will probably fruit in an insulated greenhouse - it's notoriously one of the most difficult plants to grow in the world. If you could keep it in one place it will prevent plant stress and promote fruiting.

[@JerryPaulTreeCreations]

Here in zone 3, we're likely not going to try mangoes. lol I have to say though, the seeds my wife bought from you are doing fantastic!! Especially the peas. I gave you a shout out on my pea trellis video, but I was wrong about the peas I mentioned.. (yours were on the other side of the trellis from where I was pointing). I'll do a follow up and correct that. Your peas are outgrowing all of the other peas we have planted! hahahaha They. Are. Enormous! I can't wait to taste them. They are full of flowers as well as a lot of immature pods. The kale is doing good, but some are being attacked by cabbage moths, and the collards are doing great. Anyway, I just wanted to share that with you. I also added a link to your channel in my description, so you may get some wood turners that are interested in gardening, following your channel. :) Thanks for your inspiration! We really love watching your channel, and have learned a lot. Cheers!

[@adamb.8854]

Glenn is one of the best variety to grow in zone 7 because it fruits much earlier than the others like Keitt, Kent, even Tommy Atkins.. and it is compact, does not make such long flushes like lot of other varieties. Did you have some fruit?

[@jamestropicals8262]

I very highly recommended growing grafted mango trees for fruit

[@mikeramos5709]

Very informative video! It's nice to see a gardener growing something that is thriving out of its growing zone. I think I'll try this but with blueberry bushes. Luckily I could grow mango trees outdoors where I live.

[@rainthunder7547]

I grow a couple of fruiting mangos in Phoenix.

[@jamestropicals8262]

A mango tree likes to be root bound in a pot but is it different when they are planted in the ground? Because when they are growing in the ground they are not really too root bound and they still grow big and do very well like most trees

[@NoName-xt1wn]

What about keeping it inside all year with grow lights?

[@TropicalFeelings]

I love the color of the leaves!

[@lilymoore1021]

mango leaves can cure diabetis, google it?

[@AndyPittman1988]

Can i substitute every other part 1 of sand with perlite so my pot doesnt weigh 100lbs?

[@sharriceowens913]

Sandersville? Ahould I take mine out the 5gwllon bucket and mix the soil with sand and put itnonnq 1 gallonnkr 3 gallon..my magic tree is about 4/5 ft tall and looks lokenots doing really good

[@jorgeespinoza3150]

Mature mangos survive down to 28°F for several hours. They'll make it better above mid 30's if they must deal with cold weather - - just don't let it get too wet in the cold!! Create the microclimate for it and you might be having the only home-grown mango-selling stand in all of Michigan!! 🤣

[@ELMeroMero212]

Hey MI good video can you make a followup video with the progress of the mango tree and if it produced any mangos thanks

[@chrisholbourn2793]

Love your enthusiasm. Thanks for the video Luke. Would love to see a video on pruning/training and possibly espalier for smaller gardens. Cheers

[@alexsheena6117]

For faster growth and better production, full sun and cutting down water during flowering and watering more frequently after fruit set are ideal tips used in mango growing regions (South Florida)

[@alleng6196]

I successfully germinated a jackfruit and Spanish lime (mamocillo, or chinup) seedling.

[@DL-tp2nr]

I go from nursery pot to 20 gallon Pickering and other dwarfed mangoes grow to pot . Best to get fruit second year

[@Saljflorestheboss]

Would the west side be a good place to plant a tree or where can I plant it ?

[@imtiazahmed1020]

[@ranayeem]

Will 5-1-1 mix work for them given that it’s well draining?

[@rich3847]

I am planning on using miracle gro citrus, avocado, and mango nutrients and the nitrogen is slow release. Would I still be able to supplement blood meal every few months like your video recommends?

[@caleblivaudais7573]

Thanks for the info 😊

[@canonbult1337]

yay you did a mango growing guide thank you

[@imtiazahmed1020]

[@sambmendez2454]

Awesomeness 🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯!!!

[@saxenart]

So should i cut the roots so i can leave them in a smaller pot?

[@mactaualii1600]

Awesome vid. I’m going to try and grow myself a mango tree in Melbourne, Australia. I’m inspired. Thanks mate.

[@IAMGiftbearer]

Interesting! I would love to see one on citrus trees in hydroponics and what type of liquid nutrients they need in that setting. Right now I have about half of mine in regular soil and the other half are in pots with clay balls with a drip pan underneath. I have been using the Masterblend/Calcium Nitrate/Epsom Salt mix on those but with the drip pan being clear plastic it still seems to let enough light into the pots to allow algae growth so I have cut back to just adding water for awhile until I have a better solution to the algae.

[@asondareyes5482]

My mango leaves tip are crispy. What does it mean? Also we had 100’s degrees for 4-5 months straight. Can it be from that? Or underwater?

[@3798beachmom]

If I am keeping it in the pot should I buy a grated dwarf tree?
