Growing an Ice Cream Bean Cutting, Days 0-42

[@husch05]

I saw that little sneak peak in your alphonso mango series of your ice cream bean tree, I can't wait to see it's development!

[@TheMelvinWei]

It's huge now!

[@pepegapapaya]

yay a new video! I'm going to be trying to mix coconut coir and traditional bonsai soil together for soil. Bonsai soil being volcanic rock, pumice, small bits of clay and unfortunately some pine bark. I also want maximum aeration is the idea. I'm going to be trying this for papayas! I learned about soil by checking out Gary's best Gardening a channel you recommended before. I'm excited to see how this coconut coir works for your plant :)

[@TheMelvinWei]

My papaya plant (the biggest one I chose to keep) is slowly recovering. I don't know what to think now. Growing in almost pure sand wasn't enough for my plants to thrive. Everything that was struggling before my transplants to coco coir is recovering now.

Always keep the soil as moist as possible don’t let it dry or else the leaves could dry out and die

[@cdayton8588]

Will the cutting propagate in water before adding it to soil?

Nice video! Any update on the mango?

[@TheMelvinWei]

I lost the Mango in a Tube series that ran for a while until I got to this new place. The leaves burned in the full sun, and whatever fungal disease was present for the last year or two killed of all the new leaves and the entire stem to the base.
