Hi,

Here's an old post I found that talks about it...I've never tried rooting a mango cutting before. There's an interesting link that someone posted there. Good luck!!

Here is a link that might be useful: Mango cutting post

Rooting mango cuttings is difficult and also the tree that forms from the rooted mango cutting will not have a strong root system. You would be better off grafting that cutting onto a mango seedling. Another option is to go to a nursery and buy an already grafted Julie mango tree for $25-$35.

If you still want to try to root it I would advise you to dip a few inches of the bottom of the cutting into a rooting hormone and then put the cutting into a perlite/vermiculite mix or sand mix and keep it covered with a plastic bag to keep the humidity high. I would also cut the leaves in half to cut down water loss. Do not pull the cuttings out after a few weeks to see if they rooted. That will just damage any new roots formed and kill the cutting.

Thanks for the responses, guys. I have never tried grafting before, but it is something I am very interested in learning how to do.
I think the suggestion of buying a grafted Julie is a good one, but I have made myself a promise to stay away from nurseries for a while. Very bad for my pocket. I get too carried away. :)
I am going to try the rooting hormone and plastic bag suggestion and see how that works out.
Thanks again!
