@yabshire we have never had trouble getting our seeds to sprout, after eating the mango we set the seed in the window to dry out then plant it in a small pot. We put a piece of window screen over them until they get about 7 or 8 inches high then remove it. We have a small plant nursery and sell plants so we have sprinkler set where they get plenty of water every day. My granny always did everything by the moon, planting, harvesting even cutting her hair was by the moon. I live in Fl, things seem to grow good here.

Oh thats so cool about ur granny following moon phases down to even when to cut her hair (new moon?).
How lucky to be living where things easily grow! Im looking forward to learning about propagation in TX weather...maybe similar enough to FL that i won't have to fiddle too much more than i already do in So.Cal.

@yabshire most important thing is keeping sun off young plants and do not over water or let stay to dry. other than that they should be good. when I propagate I like to get 2 nodules under the soil and 2 above. right at the bottom of the cutting I will peel back a small piece of bark. I keep the new cuttings out of the sun with screen until they have rooted. I do not use root tone or such. Most but not all plants can be done this way.
