How to grow mangoes into a potted plant How to plant a potted mango tree

Choose suitable potted varieties: potted mango should choose varieties with shallow roots, dense branches, small leaves, short type, late flowering and early fruiting, high yield, and strong resistance at fruit-bearing stage. Such as purple mang, cinnamon mango, green mango and so on.

Cultivating short and strong seedlings: first of all, we must cultivate a good and robust rootstock, in the ripening season of mango, select coarse, old and mature fruits, remove the pulp, peel off the hard shell of the core, take out the seed kernel, use wet sand to promote germination, when the seed kernel germinates and grows two true leaves, you can transplant the bed in the nursery or transplant the seedling container. When transplanting, cut the main root of the seedling short (it is advisable to keep the main root 8-10 cm) to promote the growth of lateral roots, in order to facilitate the cultivation of strong seedlings, the plant row spacing should be 25 x 30 cm.

Cultivating annual raw rootstocks. Grafting should be done with the spikes of mango varieties suitable for potted plants, and the wood should be opened at a height of 5 cm from the ground, and grafted with branches (rootstock top pulling skin "double-shaped" grafting) or bud grafting (shield-shaped bud grafting). After the interface is firmly closed and the scion begins to sprout and draw, the strap is untied, and the rootstock residue above the interface is cut off, and then cultivated for 4 to 5 months, that is, potted.

Timely potting and modeling: grafted seedlings are 25-30 cm high, that is, they should be potted in time. The size of the basin should be 40-45 cm in diameter and 25-30 cm in height.

The soil in the pot can be burned with pond mud, humus soil and an appropriate amount of pig and cow dung and phosphate fertilizer, and then put into a pot after full mixing. The bottom of the basin and the surface of the basin should be covered with a pond mud mass with a diameter of 2 to 3 cm, which is conducive to water seepage and ventilation. When transplanting seedlings to pots, seedlings should be planted in the center of the pot with mud balls, and the soil in the pot should be 3 to 5 cm below the surface.

After potting, the seedlings should pay attention to the shape, pick the top buds in time, promote the side branches, and control the overlord branches.

Finely cultivated tubes. Potted mangoes should be placed where the sun and mist can reach. For seedlings placed on the balcony, move the direction of the pot appropriately every once in a while (about a month).

Watering and fertilizing should be appropriate, the mud is dry and watered, and the watering must be thorough, generally watered once every other day. Fertilization should be applied thinly many times, with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer as the main fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer as the secondary, controlling the height and promoting the growth. Spodoptera exigua is the main insect pest of mango, whenever new shoots are drawn, the leaves are red, and the shoots are not woody, spray them with one of the drugs such as dimethoate, dichlorvos, trichlorfon, pine borer, rice fengsan, etc., every 5 to 7 days, until the leaves turn green and the branches are lignified.

Mangoes can be potted, and the soil needs to be selected.

The planting method of potted mango trees is very simple, first take out the seeds from the fresh and ripe mangoes, soak the seeds in clean water for 30 to 60 minutes, prepare a container of the right size, and suitable soil for growth, then plant the processed seeds into the soil, put them in a cool place to keep the soil moist, and wait for a week for them to take root and germinate.

Potted mango trees can be planted in the spring of March to May, first of all, you need to prepare a fresh and ripe mango, the core in the pulp is the seed of the mango tree, you need to use a knife to take out the core, do not hurt the seeds in the pit, otherwise it will affect the core to germinate in the soil.

After the kernel of the mango is removed from the pulp, it is cleaned with water, and its shell is removed, and it can be soaked in water for 30 to 60 minutes, so that the seeds of the mango tree can quickly take root and germinate in the soil.

For the question of how to plant potted mango trees, in fact, the potting method is very simple, treat the seeds well, choose a container of the right size, and prepare loose and breathable, drainable sandy soil, which can be mixed with humus and mud in a ratio of 3:2 as a substrate.

Sow the mango seeds into the soil, don't bury the seeds completely in the soil, spray some water on the soil, control the temperature at about 20, put it in a cool place and wait for a week, the mango seeds will take root and sprout.

It should be the root.

Mango propagation method.

In the propagation and production of mango seedlings, grafted seedlings are planted, solid seedlings are used as rootstocks, and branches of excellent varieties that grow and mature at the stage are used as scions. Grafting propagation includes the cultivation of rootstock seedlings, grafting and other friendly links.

Sow. Seed collection: in Hainan generally around February flowering, around May fruit ripe, but in Guangdong Zhanjiang and other areas, the fruit period is often extended to July, when the fruit from green to light green can be harvested, need to be reproduced to be fully ripe when the harvest, after picking the fruit neat, hypertrophied, no diseases and pests, smooth skin and shiny, sweet flesh and less fiber of the fruit.

The general seed yield is 13 to 15%, and the dry grain weight of the seeds is 13,026 to 14,756 grams.

Seed treatment: Seeds are not resistant to storage, so they should be sown after peeling off the pulp, and the survival rate is higher. Before sowing, it should be treated, scrape the pulp attached to the seed coat, wash the sweetness in water, and sow the seeds after drying in a ventilated place.

In order to speed up seed germination, it is also possible to use clean fine river sand for layered germination, and pay constant attention to moisturizing and ventilation. Or the seeds can be sown after the seed coat is peeled, and the germination is fast and neat, but pay attention to drainage and soil disinfection to avoid moldy seeds.

Sowing method: the nursery should be selected to the south, fertile, convenient drainage and irrigation of sandy loam or loam, the use of strip sowing method sowing, 10 cm between the furrows, 4 to 5 cm deep, the seeds stripped of the seed coat are arranged at an equal distance of 4 cm, covered with soil 1 to 2 cm, the bed surface is shaded with a shading net to keep the bed moist, drenched in the morning and evening, about 7 days to start germination, the germination time lasts for about 10 days, after the germination is neat, the shade shed is removed in time for refining, when the seedlings grow 2 pairs of true leaves, After the true leaves turn green, they can be moved into the nutrient cup for cultivation, and after 2 to 3 months of careful management, the seedlings can be planted when they are 30 to 50 cm high. For grafting rootstocks, they should be moved into large nutrient cups with a diameter of 15 cm and a height of 25 to 30 cm, and the seedlings should be 80 to 100 cm tall at the end of the following spring.

The basal stem can be grafted if it is more than 1 to cm thick.

Layering. Generally in March to April, when the new shoots are at their peak and easy to peel, take 2-year-old branches with a diameter of 1 to 2 cm, peel them in a ring, and then bury them with humus, which will take root in about 60 days, and the survival rate is 95 to 100%.

Graft. The budding method is mainly used. The best budding period is May to June, but it can also be done in autumn. The scion is used for the current year's branches, and the rootstock is used for 1-year-old seedlings, which can survive in about 40 to 50 days after grafting.

1. Planting time.

Since mangoes like to grow in a warm and humid environment, the best time for mango planting is in March and May in spring, and the climatic conditions at this time are also conducive to seed germination and growth.

2. Seed selection.

So how to plant mango is the best, generally speaking, the seeds of ripe fruit are cleaned first, and then the skin is cut with a knife, and half of it can be exposed in the culture soil, and then placed in a warm and humid place.

3. Thermal insulation treatment.

Because mango likes high temperatures, is not cold-tolerant, the growth temperature is 24 27, and the hot weather in summer can be shaded for a short time, and it is best to cover the surface with a film in winter to avoid frostbite of the plant.

4. Reasonable fertilization.

Mango tree fertilization is best to nitrogen, potassium fertilizer, and the content of potassium fertilizer can not be less than nitrogen fertilizer, after planting it is best to apply urea solution every 30 days or so, and it is best to add nitrogen and potassium fertilizer every 15 days during the fruiting period.

5. Sufficient light.

Since the mango grows positively, it is generally treated with 6 hours of short day every day, and the shade treatment can be appropriately carried out in hot climates, but it cannot be in the shade for too long to promote the growth and development of the plant.

6. Watering management.

Mangoes will grow very quickly in a humid environment, watering in time after cultivation to promote effective absorption by the roots, and then watering once a day after emergence to keep the soil moist and maintain good ventilation.
