\nSharp Knife or Pruners:\u00a0You\u2019ll need a sharp knife or pruners to make clean cuts on the mango branches.
\nPaper Towels or Tissue Paper:\u00a0These will aid in root formation.
\nContainer with Water:\u00a0Prepare a clean, transparent container to hold the cuttings while they develop roots. A glass or plastic container works well.
\nFresh Water:\u00a0Use clean, room-temperature water.
\nIndirect Sunlight:\u00a0Find a location with bright, indirect sunlight.
\nWell-Draining Potting Mix:\u00a0You\u2019ll need this for transplanting the rooted cuttings into pots.\n
\nChoose disease-free branches from a mature mango tree. Each cutting should have at least two or more nodes.
\nUse a sharp knife or pruners to make a clean cut at the bottom of each cutting, just below a node. This is where the roots will develop.
\nRemove Bark and Apply Paper Towels:
\nCarefully strip off a small section of bark from the lower 1-2 inches of the cutting. This exposed area will encourage root formation.
\nWrap the exposed area with a few layers of damp paper towels or tissue paper. This helps keep the area moist and promotes root growth.\n
\nPlace Cuttings in Water:
\nFill a clean container with room-temperature water.
\nSubmerge the prepared mango cuttings in the water. Ensure that at least one or two nodes are submerged in the water.
\nChange Water Regularly:
\nChange the water every few days to prevent stagnation and the growth of algae and bacteria. Always use fresh, room-temperature water for each change.
\nProvide Adequate Light and Warmth:
\nPlace the container with the cuttings in a location with bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, which can heat the water and harm the cuttings.
\nMaintain a warm and consistent temperature, as mangoes prefer warm conditions for rooting.
\nWait for Roots to Develop:
\nIt may take several weeks to several months for roots to start forming. Be patient and keep an eye on the progress.
\nTransplant Rooted Cuttings:
\nOnce the roots are a few inches long and appear healthy, carefully remove the cuttings from the water.
\nPlant each rooted cutting in a separate pot filled with well-draining potting mix. Make sure the rooted portion is below the soil surface.
\nCare for Transplanted Mango Trees:
\nPlace the potted mango cuttings in a location with indirect sunlight.
\nWater them regularly, maintaining soil moisture without overwatering.
\nAs the mango trees grow, gradually expose them to more sunlight.\n
\nThe success of water propagation can vary based on factors such as the health of the cuttings and the specific mango variety.
\nGrowing mango trees from cuttings in water is a wonderful way to expand your mango orchard. Although it may take some time for the cuttings to develop into mature, fruit-bearing trees, the patience and care you invest in the process can be very rewarding.\n
