Growing Kensington Pride Mango from seed

10 Jan 2019: Potted 2 mango seeds in one pot. Husk removed before planting.

KP mangoes are polyembryonic which is supposed to grow true to fruit and multiple seedlings will grow.

29 Jan 2019: 1 seed started to have one shoot.



5 February 2019:
The 2 biggest seedlings are from the same seed. The smaller of them looks like 2 stalks have fused together.  The seed on the left has started to sprout too, but it also looks a bit strange unlike the biggest seedling.

27 Feb 2019 - have separated the 2 seeds a while back. One was left outdoor. The other indoor. And indoor seedling was doing much better. Moved the other indoor.

 A fourth seedling is beginning to grow.
Has 3 seedlings but 2 of them are joined at the bottom.

10 Jan 2019: my friend told me I can slice up a tomato, take the rind/skin off and lay it on a bed of soil and scatter a light layer of soil over it. Water and let it grow! I did just that with store bought perino tomatoes. 16 Jan 2019: 3 tomato seedlings. 22 Jan 2019: More seedlings. 30 Jan 2019: no new seedling and 2 seedlings started drooping down. Decided to repot the healthy strong looking ones into little cups. And left some to see if they still survive. 5 Feb 2019: More seedlings sprouted from the original box! V And the ones in their own cups still looks ok. They have extra leaves. 27 Feb 2019 - seedlings are varied in sizes. Seems like depending on pot size. Some seedling died due to strong wind. Current location is indoor.
