Re: how to grow a mango plant from seed

Very cool about your Nelumbo seedling, Nath.

Yeah, I think Lorax is referring to when it gets dark throughout Nov/Dec - in which case I could see the halide coming in handy. We haven't had a whole lot of sun here recently, and my mango tree looks like it's doing just that right now, Beth - surviving.

Good luck, Nath.

Re: how to grow a mango plant from seed

That should have read Chupitos not cupitos.

I have put my pots in the warmest sunniest place in the conservatory so we'll see how they get on. I just need to make sure that they are kept reasonably warm with as much light as I can give them.

I will pot some more up over the next few days.

Re: how to grow a mango plant from seed

See what I mean Lorax, about just surviving? Time for a transplant and some time under the halide...

Re: how to grow a mango plant from seed

Chupitos! Nath, the actual cultivar name is 'Ambajador' - aren't they just the best?!?

Sherry - what's the soil you have that little guy in? You may have a happier mango if it's got wicked fast drainage when you repot.

Re: how to grow a mango plant from seed

Lorax,

They are great and so sweet, you don't find that variety very often here in England. I have a mango in my smoothie every morning now at 7 am along with Toronja, naranja, fresas, uvas, sanoria, y Piña. Very nice keeps me going all morning until 1pm.

All fresh and full of bits very healthy.

Talking of FresasI decide d that I am going to try my hand at strawberries this coming year as I can't get enough of them. I have been reading though that they are very prone to slugs and some sort of white fly. I may have to try some of HBL's remedies on them unless I grow them in hanging baskets which is another option.

Nath
