    I love mango seeds and ever since I was little I have wanted to grow them. I live in Ontario so I get no tropical weather. Does anyone know how I would grow a mango seed inside my house. I have tried to look it up many times but no one explains in detail how I should do it. If you can help me please let me know. Thank you very much, in advance.

    We actually have an extensive and relevant thread here, covering a wide range of indoor conditions and mango cultivars.

    Here's the link

    Ficus bennendijkii 'Amstel King' looks very similar and is likely to do well
    indoors compared to a Mango. http://www.houseofplants.co.uk/Ficus_bennendijkii_Amstel_King.htm
    Please note if you're highly allergic to Poison Ivy, the Mango's peel contains
    oils that can produce the same type of rash. Oddly in my case I can eat the
    peeled fruit if someone else peels it for me.
