im not sure i put them i was told you half cover then in water so i use the tooth picks just stick them in i think it needs a dark warn place to crack open thats what i foung out after mine had opened i left mine at the window and it took 2 months to open ,

[Chavalierdeon]

do you know if it is true that some frozing or heating can help the seed crack faster?

[alexdalyno1]

i think the more heat you give it the better the chance it needs heat to crack open not light when it cracks open it needs light and heat put it in the hot press till it opens then in the window

i did this 4 years ago, the tree is now 2.5 meters high.

it would have been much higher if the pot was bigger.

Do you eat off of your table? I use plates.

@TheLMack thats natural, it's because you are poking into the flesh of the avocado. it depends on the avocado, some do dome don't.

@TonicWater777 you clean the avocado seed and you do it right away. i recomend peeling off the skin because after a couple of days mold will form on them and the part of the skin that is touching the water gets slimy.

You have got to be kidding. Ask any commercial grower if that is the way they started their grove. The torture of the avocado seed started in elementary school science class and they were not trying to teach you how to grow an avocado. Put the seed in the soil just under the ground so it can feel the heat from the sun but will not get sunburned. Point up little circle down. The root that grows in the water is not the root that will support the tree.

if you peel off the skin at the botton of the seed, it will crack abd root in about 2 weeks ,in water

[TonicWater777]

Does anyone know .. once you remove the seed from the Avocado, do you need to let the seed dry out or can you right away start to seed it?

Thanks!

This seems awesome.... I really want to try it.

[TheLMack]

I didn't have much luck. When I poked the tooth picks in some white stuff came out, and then when it finally cracked after a couple days, the yoke came out spilled into the water.

@Luvlylion I think you mean 'grammar' and 'commented.'

[Earlybit]

stick it in the ground/pot with dirt ---it'll grow. No need for toothpicks etc.Why complicated when you can make it easy!

Question: how often do you change the water from the cup or do you not change it at all?
