I used paper towel method to #germinate this #mango seed and I got 3 shoots.

#neverseenanythinglikeit I would guess that 1 shoot is normal?

@KariSamuel this is my first time so I’m not sure if 1 or 3 is normal 😊 would you have any advice what I should do? I have potted it. should I divide them when it’s a little bigger and pot them individual?

@gjones it took about 10 days to germinate. I’m going to plant it in pot so it’ll be easier to move indoor during cold months. I’m surprised how quickly it grow. I potted after I posted it and now it’s got quite afew glossy little leaves.

If that is one seed, and 3 sprouts I would leave it until you see excellent growth on 1 or 2 before disecting them apart! You could possibly loose one or all by stressing them out! Does anyone else have #mango #advice for @jewljewl ? @lovestogarden @cyndi @brightcolours @carolgs @mrsflowerpot @joanboston @danielrichards @mikethegardener #help #mango-propagation

I would leave hole as if you cut it you may end up with fungal rot on the open wounds @KariSamuel

This is so cool! Good for you, Vannary, I always kill mine just after they start to sprout. I would leave it, as they are very delicate.
