Growing Mango Plants in Water

Growing a mango plant in water is easier than you think. Start by cutting

open a ripe mango and removing the seed. Rinse off all the fruit flesh under

running water until it's completely clean. Take a clear glass and fill it halfway

with fresh water. Stick three toothpicks around the middle of the seed so it sits half submerged

in the water. Place the glass on a sunny windowsill where it gets bright indirect light.

Change the water every few days to keep it fresh. Within one to two weeks,

you'll notice roots starting to sprout from the bottom. A green shoot will emerge from the

top soon after. Once the roots are a few inches long, you can transfer it to soil.
