First day of searching online for cheap plants and trades, I found someone on Craigslist in the St. Pete area that had mango and avocado plants advertised for only $5 each. They said they were thigh height, 2 years old, and in 3 gallon buckets.
These mangos were sprouted from a 9 year old tree in his backyard. Tons of people in St. Petersburg have the same type of mango growing in their yards.
I got 3 mango and 3 avocado. Only plan I have for transplanting is putting one each into large breathable grow bags, like the rice bag type. Any other suggestions? I only see 2 YouTube videos online of people growing mangos in hydroponics. I’m afraid to shock it but only risking $5 plant and time.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for looking.

It is very okay. .

I think rice sacks would be fine only if they are not made of plastic i guess. Some of them are made of rope kind of material, but they would keep dripping water, so will have to place a plate underneath.

Wow great find!! Lucky you. Sadly I have no other suggestions for transplanting, I am not familiar with avocado and my attempts at mango growing have been unsuccessful thus far. I look forward to seeing how yours develop!
