Follow the steps below to grow your own Avocado Plant!
Save an avocado pit (without cutting into or breaking it) and wash off any
residue. Let it dry, then
insert 3-4
cocktail sticks
about halfway up the side of the pit.
Suspend the broad end of the pit down in a drinking glass or jar. Fill it with enough water
to
submerge the bottom third of the seed.
Place the glass in a warm spot out of direct sunlight and change the water regularly. Roots and a sprout
should
appear
in about 2-6 weeks. If not, start with another seed.
When the sprout gets to be about 6 inches tall, cut it back to about 3 inches to encourage more root growth.
Once the stem grows out again, plant the pit in a 10-inch pot filled with rich potting soil. Now it's time
to
let your
avocado tree grow, grow, grow!
