  • Next, place your seed in a glass of water. The toothpicks will allow it to soak just an inch in the water. Then place your seed in  a warm place, with direct sunlight.
  • Wait for 2-6 weeks, until the stem is about 6 inches tall. Then, cut the stem back to 3 inches and wait for it to reach 6 inches again, and for more leaves to grow.
  • Find a big pot, with about 10-inches diameter and a hole at the bottom for drainage. Fill the pot  with a nutrient-rich soil. Make a hole at the top and place your seed there. Don’t plant the seed too deep;   a half of it has to remain above the soil.
  • The pot should be kept in a sunny place, and watered often and generously. Keep it moist. but not saturated.
  • Over-watering the tree may cause the leaves to become droopy and yellow. In such situation, avoid watering the tree for a couple of days, and ensure you use a lesser amount of water in future.
  • The avocado needs regular care and maintenance for it to flourish. You’ll wait for just a few years to start enjoying your delicious and healthy fruits.
