Generally only 3-4 of the most vigorous seedlings are selected and potted up. It is common to plant above a root barrier to facilitate the removal of seedlings from the bed when the time comes to pot them. Polyembryonic seeds are usually planted in beds to allow space for the multiple seedlings. Monoembryonic seeds should be planted to a depth of 1-2 cm (0.4-0.8 in) in 1 to 5 gallon pots containing a well-draining potting soil. Mango seeds should be planted to a depth of 2 cm (0.8 in) and should be positioned on their sides to promote a straight growth habit. The kernel is then removed from the endocarp and is planted within 24 hours of collection due to a rapid degeneration in seed viability. Seeds are collected from fully ripe fruit before chilling. Monoembryonic mango varieties are usually vegetatively propagated by grafting onto polyembryonic rootstocks. Monoembryonic seeds produce only one seedling from each seed and it usually does not breed true to type. Polyembryonic seeds can produce between 3 and 10 seedlings from one seed, the majority of which will exhibit the characteristics of the parent plant. Seeds can be polyembryonic or monoembryonic. Mango seeds are commonly used to produce rootstock or in the production of new cultivars.

Trees should be positioned in full sunlight for optimal fruit production. The optimum soil pH is between 5.5 and 7.5. The trees also grow well in sand, gravel and limestone soils. However, very rich soils will promote vegetative growth at the expense of flower and fruit production and should be avoided. Optimal growth will be achieved in rich, deep, well drained, loams. Mangos will tolerate almost any soil as long as it is well draining. The trees grow optimally at temperatures of 24–27☌ (75.2–80.6☏) with a relatively cool dry season and where heat is highest during flowering and fruiting. Mango trees grow best in tropical or subtropical climates where there is no danger of frost and especially in areas where the rainfall over the four summer months (June to September) totals 75 to 250 cm (30 to 100 in) and is followed by 8 months of dry weather.
