Ive been flat out with Skogenbosque project, I havent kept up at all on here
A few posts back, I was starting 2 mango seeds, one was in a bag and the other in soil. The one in the bag disappeared and a few days back I saw something red poking out of the soil it was in. It looked like the famous photo of the Loch Ness monster but pink, and then I realized that it must be the mango seed already germinated and on its way. It was actually full moon when this happened!
I had to explore it and wanted to but it in a Tetrapak carton for there to be lots of room for roof growth. The Avo loves it in the tetrapak so I think this will too. I'll remember the avo progress in this post too.
I took it out carefully, I had no clue how long the roots were. If i damaged the roots then I would have killed it before it even grew! I think what had happened was (im not a tree expert), that the roots had grown to the bottom and once it did, it make the plant part activate.
here are the roots, it was a good time to put it into a bigger pot. In the future I think I will always start tree seeds in a tetra pak!
Out of curiosity (a very big gamble) I decided to take away all the soil. You can do this gentle by putting it in water so the soil falls away from the root without hurting it.
It looked very alien like!!
I put it in a new home, hopefully I didn't rush nature by moving it too soon. There seemed to be a tiny other tree somehow, maybe they do produce more than one.
They baby didn't survive, its already dead from 2 days ago was it? I put it in this pot any didn't think it would do well as its too hot
I don't have my phone around to take a photo, but this was it a few days back..
It has fingers! I presumed it was branches, and it seems to be so! You see it poking out from the cracked stone
ive gotta go! Ill try wake up early and get up to date on the growing but I just aint got the time for now hahah
