David, on this forum, Dr. Manners has several excellent posts concerning the proper method of planting Mango seeds. Use the search function to find his postings. - Millet (996-)

I finally found one after 21 pages of his postings. I planted them on their sides after extracting them from the husk.
Thx

hey i will take some pics of the ones i just started.



I just put them i a cup of water...

I think the key is to get good seeds. Some seeds have no chance. the seeds have to not look brown or pink...

here is the photo. Just tap water and a couple of days to 2 weeks at the longest. I keep changing the water every 3- 5 days.

I'm planting seeds I got from Ataulfo mangoes from Costco. Some of the seeds were brown. As mentioned above, why is this bad? Also, does refrigerating the mangoes affect the seed viability? The seeds have been in water for about a week now with no growth. The husk was removed.
