Transplantation is a common technique used to combine the desired characteristics of two different plants. In this article we will show you how to graft a mango on an onion using a glass of water. This method is simple and effective, and can be done at home with a minimum of equipment. Follow the steps below to create your own mango transplant on an onion:
Materials required:

Steps to follow:
- Start by choosing a young mango grower to transplant. Make sure it is about 15 cm long and has at least one or two leaves.
- Prepare the onion by cutting it in half lengthwise.
- Remove the centre of the onion to insert the mango tree stem. Make sure you create sufficient space for the stem to easily insert.
- Take the mango tree and cut the base into bevels with a sharp knife. This will facilitate the insertion of the stem into the onion.
- Carefully insert the stem of the young mango tree shoot into the onion opening. Make sure it is fixed in place.
- Place the onion with the mango tree stem in a glass of water. Make sure the stem is partially immersed in water.
- Change the water regularly to avoid mould and make sure the stem receives enough indirect light.
