When I was younger (the day before the net was readily available) I wanted to grow a mango tree. I figured it would be easy to. Plop the seed in the ground and voila. Well it seemed they would usually just rot. Never grew a darn thing. Forget the fact that I live in Ohio. It should still sprout.<\/p>\n

Many years later, I decided to try again, and had the great idea to check online. Someone must have tried to do this once before. I found out that the hard shell inside a mango is just a husk. The seed actually is inside . So here are the steps I used to germinate mangoes from a seed.<\/p>\n

\"Mango<\/a>\u00a0Step 1. Get mango seed [see the steps I use to eat a mango to get the seed]<\/a>\u00a0– link is pending completion of article\/pictures –<\/p>\n

\"Seed<\/a>\u00a0Step 2. Pry open the husk. You may have to scrap away one end to find an opening or to find a place to create an opening.<\/p>\n

\"Remove<\/a>\u00a0Step 3. Take seed out and put wash with soap. Hopefully this step will reduce the amount of mold that grow in the water.<\/p>\n

\"Seed<\/a>\u00a0Step 4. Place seed in a container and fill with water until seed is submerged.<\/p>\n

\"Germinating\"<\/a>\u00a0Step 5. Place container with mango in a dark warm area. I usually place it on top of my fridge, where it is somewhat hot and dark. Back in my apartment dwelling days I would place it on top of my computer,\u00a0since\u00a0the compy usually generates so much heat.<\/p>\n

Step 6. You will want to change the water about every other day, to keep the water from molding.<\/p>\n
