I have a kinda pointy avocado... Do i do the same steps because i think i have another variety of avocado... The seed is actually smaller... So wat do i do!!!

[PiranhaJaw22]

@PlayingDead567 I'd recommend tossing that one, and using a larger seed. The larger seeds have a tendency to grow better.

hey iam about 1 month into growing my seed and it already cracked but what do u mean bby add small soil increments? like add soil into the cup of water? little by little untill its filled?

[PiranhaJaw22]

@henry12371 when the root has reached the bottom of the glass and has started to grow smaller ones, drop some soil into the container. the next day, drop some more, and continue this pattern until the glass is full (takes a period of about five to seven days). after the leaves appear, take out the plant and transplant it.

Hey! I randomly decided to try and plant an avocado tree yesterday so I set up two seeds ...& I went down to check on them this morning ...& there's little orange dots growing on the pits. Is that normal? Is it diseased? Should I throw it out? I'm kinda worried about it ... actually.

[PiranhaJaw22]

@jkAdore I haven't experienced that before. Did you remove the skin on the underside of the seed?

I opened an avocado to eat one day and it had a root. I thought, "WOW! This is ready to grow." NOT! I put it in water, placed it on the counter top and watched it for months. At least four months. Finally the root and shoot began to grow. I have to groom it often. The last time I cut it back to one quarter its size. It was taking up three quarters of the dining area. It is 18 years old now and is growing new branches everywhere. I feed it once in a while with Miracle Grow. It loves the stuff.

@PlayingDead567 It is probably a Haas avocado. It is ok to plant those too! Those are Florida variety avocados!!

@MRBLACKPEARL04 If you plant it from seed it will take 5-10 years before it will flower or make fruit. That's why people buy "grafted" plants if they want fruit next season. Rarely sometimes you will get a male plant that will never produce flowers but you can change it by cutting the bark near the base and almost killing it, then it will produce flowers and fruit but I have found that they dont taste very good then(big seed, small fruit and bitter).

@fenrirgg Oh sorry, I meant dirt in a pot. avocado seeds have about a 99% germination rate and they will grow if the seed is halfway in moist soil too eliminating any shock or damage to the roots when adding soil or removing it from the cup.

[fenrirgg]

@descargaelbano True that, but it will die in winter where temperatures are below 1ºC like happened in my yard.

@PiranhaJaw22 i tried smaller avocado seeds they actually grow maybe i just got lucky

[ikziehetprobleemni]

this was very helpful! Thanks!

[trabajopesado]

people you have to peel the skin off before put it in water.

[MRBLACKPEARL04]

No fruit ? Why not ?

[PlayingDead567]

@PiranhaJaw22 But its not the regular Hass avocado.. It has a longer neck and its les "chubby"
