Growing mango trees from leaves by rooting banana trees

  1. Select Healthy Mango Leaves
    Choose young, disease-free mango leaves.

  1. Prepare the Mango Leaves
    Cut leaves with a small stem attached, about 4-6 inches long.

  1. Prepare the Banana Tree
    Cut a banana stem section (2-3 inches) or pieces of a banana peel.
    Make small slits or holes in the banana section.

  1. Insert the Mango Leaves
    Insert the cut end of each mango leaf into the slits in the banana section.

  1. Plant the Banana and Mango Combination
    Fill pots with well-draining soil.
    Place the banana and mango combination in small holes in the soil, burying the banana section.

  1. Create a Humid Environment
    Water thoroughly.
    Cover with plastic bags or a bottle to create humidity, with ventilation holes.

  1. Place in Indirect Sunlight
    Position the pots in bright, indirect sunlight.
  2. Monitor and Maintain
    Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.
    Check for new growth regularly.
  3. Transplanting
    Once roots and new growth appear, transplant to larger pots or the ground.
