Mango seedling pot size
Started growing several mango seedlings this last summer and a few are growing really well in 4x4x5 pots. I now know the need for deeper pots so the tap root can grow. It will soon be warm enough to transplant them and I need to know what size pots are needed. I hope to graft onto them in 2014 when they are big enough. Any suggestions on soil mix are welcome.
Thanks for your help Larry |

Re: Mango seedling pot size
Larry --- what variety are the seedlings? It's important to pick the right rootstock for your area.
And what scion varieties are you planning to graft with? |

Re: Mango seedling pot size
Hey Bananimal thanks for the reply. I had hand surgery a few days ago so my reply is delayed. Most of the seedlings are Kent and Keitt, there are a few Manilla and a few others that I have no idea. I am very new to this and have not read much about rootstock specifics. I have read about turpentine as a good rootstock, and thought I read that you can get away with anything that grows. I recently found a guy on the Big Island that sells scions, he has many to choose from but you must spend at least $100.
Thanks for your help Larry |
