How to Grow an Avocado from Seed (Easy Method)
1. Prepare the Seed: Wash the seed and insert toothpicks around its equator. These will support the seed over water.
2. Suspend the Seed: Place the seed on a glass or jar filled with water, ensuring the bottom half is submerged.
3. Change the Water: Regularly check and change the water to keep it fresh.
4. Wait for Germination: Put the setup in a sunny spot and wait for roots to emerge, usually within two to six weeks.
5. Transplanting: Once roots and a stem with leaves appear, transplant the seed into well-draining soil, leaving the top half exposed.
6. Caring for Your Tree: Water regularly and place in a sunny spot. Prune occasionally to encourage growth.
Growing your own avocado tree is a fun and satisfying way to enjoy fresh avocados at home. Give it a try and enjoy the fruits of your labor!
Thank you. I always thought you had to cross-pollinate them or something.
