Mangosteen Plant Seeds

1.seed treatment

The seeds of mangosteen are oblate and brown in appearance with cracks on the surface. We clean the mangosteen seeds and remove the outer skin of the mangosteen seeds. Be careful not to hurt the seeds in this step. After the seeds are treated, they should be placed in a cool place, not in the sun, and the seeds can be planted when they are dry.

2. Seed soaking to promote germination

After the mangosteen seeds are dried, they should be soaked in water, and the seed foam will absorb water and the germination rate will be higher. You can find a small cup filled with water, put a little rooting agent in the water, put the mangosteen seeds in it, then change the water every day, add rooting agent after changing the water, keep the oxygen content in the water and the cleanliness of the water, about soaking After 10 days, you will see the seeds of mangosteen germinate, and you can plant them in pots at this time.

3. Planting in large pots

Prepare loose and breathable slightly acidic soil, because mangosteen is a tropical fruit, and the plant likes acid, so when configuring the soil, use humus soil, and fermented pine needle soil can be used. Prepare several large flower pots, because the mangosteen will be cultivated into a tree shape in the later stage, so the flower pots can be larger, which is convenient for later maintenance. Two seeds are planted in each flower pot, which can be shallowly buried in the soil, and then watered thoroughly. Keep the soil moist. It is also possible to plant all the seeds in a petri dish, and then divide the plants when the seedlings grow.

4. shading and maintenance of seedlings

Mangosteen seeds should be planted in a shady place for maintenance. After a week, the seeds will slowly take root and sprout, and then put the potted plants in a shaded scattered light for maintenance, and do not directly expose to the sun. Mangosteen likes a hot and humid environment. It should be watered every morning and evening to keep the soil moist, and the branches and leaves should be sprayed with water to humidify. The seedlings can be fertilized after one month of growth. You can use compound fertilizer for fruit trees or homemade organic fertilizers. Once every half a month, the seedlings will grow very vigorously, so the mangosteen potted plants can be planted.
