The Easiest Way to Grow Mango Trees – With Banana and a Leaf!

1. 1. Select Healthy Mango Leaves: Start by selecting healthy, mature mango leaves from a mango tree. Choose leaves that are free from disease or damage, and preferably from a variety of mango tree that you enjoy and want to propagate.
   2. Prepare the Leaves: Carefully remove the mango leaves from the tree, making sure to keep their stems intact. Trim the stems to about 6 inches in length, and remove any excess leaves or buds from the stems, leaving only a few at the top.

1. 1. Prepare the Rooting Hormone: Banana peels contain natural rooting hormones that can help stimulate root growth in plant cuttings. To prepare the rooting hormone, simply chop up a few banana peels into small pieces and soak them in water for 24-48 hours.
   2. Dip the Leaves in Rooting Hormone Solution: After the banana peels have soaked, strain the water to remove the banana pieces, leaving behind a natural rooting hormone solution. Dip the cut ends of the mango leaves’ stems into the rooting hormone solution for a few seconds, ensuring that they are well-coated.
   3. Plant the Leaves: Fill small pots or containers with a well-draining potting mix. Make small holes in the soil and insert the stems of the mango leaves into the holes. Gently press the soil around the stems to hold them in place.

1. 1. Provide Proper Care: Place the pots in a warm, bright location where they will receive indirect sunlight. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and mist the leaves regularly to keep them hydrated. You can cover the pots with a plastic bag or dome to create a mini greenhouse effect and retain moisture.
   2. Monitor Growth: Over the next few weeks, monitor the mango leaf cuttings for signs of growth. New shoots and roots should begin to emerge from the base of the stems. Once the roots are well-established and the new shoots have grown several inches tall, you can transplant the young mango trees into larger pots or directly into the ground.
   3. Provide Continued Care: Continue to care for your young mango trees by watering them regularly, providing adequate sunlight, and fertilizing them with a balanced fertilizer according to the package instructions. Protect them from harsh weather conditions and pests as they continue to grow.

1. Enjoy Your Mango Trees: With patience and care, your mango leaf cuttings will grow into healthy, productive mango trees that will reward you with delicious fruits for years to come. Imagine the satisfaction of enjoying juicy, ripe mangoes grown from leaves of your own mango tree!

By following these simple steps and using natural banana rooting hormones, you can successfully grow mango trees from mango leaves right at home. So why not give it a try and enjoy the fruits of your labor? Happy propagating!
