Mango from pit makes an attractive indoor tree. The new leaves are burgundy red and sort of droopy, turning green and more upright as they mature.
Take a plump pit. Scrub with a nail brush to remove as much goop as possible. Look for the opening at one end. carefully, gently, slip a small paring knife into the hole and wiggle to crack open the stiff outer covering. You want to get the "nut" out without damaging it. Pot up in good potting soil, keep damp but not soggy.
Another garbage gardening house tree that I like is loquat - the new leaves are silvery / hairy. Very attractive.
