Materials Needed:

Mango cuttings (10-12 inches long, with at least two nodes)

Sharp knife or pruners

Paper towels or tissue paper

Clean, transparent container (glass or plastic)

Room-temperature water

Well-draining potting mix

Steps:

Prepare Cuttings:

Select healthy branches and make a clean cut below a node.

Strip off bark from the bottom 1-2 inches.

Wrap the exposed area with damp paper towels.

Place in Water:

Submerge cuttings in room-temperature water in a clean container.

Ensure at least one or two nodes are underwater.

Maintain Conditions:

Change water every few days.

Keep in a location with bright, indirect sunlight.

Maintain a warm temperature.

Wait for Roots:

Roots may take weeks to months to develop.

Transplant Cuttings:

Once roots are a few inches long, plant cuttings in well-draining potting mix.

Place in indirect sunlight and water regularly.

Tips:

Use multiple cuttings to increase success chances.

Be patient; developing into mature trees takes time.
