I see that you leave it in the water long enough for it to grow long/many roots. It also grew leafs... do you pinch off the top to get it to grow more leaf... i usually plant mine when they have a root about an inch long...but was never really sucessfull at it. They usually grow a long stem about a foot long and then dry out and die... do you use only water or do you put fertilizer in the water...

@cstmontreal I use only water. you can leave them in the water as long as you want. when they get to about a foot tall then they are strong enough to be planted.

Thats a nice looking avocado tree you got there:D.

Just one recommendation, change the water if you haven't done so.

@carllos25 thank you. Check out my other video of it a bit bigger.

a fruit tree for a house plant, how awesome is that?

[un300zx]

@eliden If i take it outside it'll die. At this stage they are very fragil.

im 14 and have 5 of these growing ranging from 2 to 9 feet, i wouldn't recomend that window sill if it gets a lot of sun, uv rays hard on roots amplified by water

i grew one from a seed in soil in new jersey and it was 1 ft tall with atleast 7 leaves by one month old.

[scryptnotist]

How long did it take for the seed to crack on yours? Mine hasn't cracked yet and it's been well over two weeks ....

@WillSmithCleanRap no offense but your 14 and your growing an avocado farm?? slightly weird, maybe get out of the house a bit, maybe see some friends?

How did you get your avocado tree to produce so many branches and roots at such an early stage?

I have a question. I've been growing an Avocado tree for about the last 3 and half months or so. It has a very long root and about a 1 inch stalk. My mom decided she did not want it sitting in water on shelf anymore and decided to plant it. I have heard you are supposed to wait until the stalk is at least 6 inches tall and has leaves before you put it in soil. What are the chances of my tree's survival?

@iSmokeLikeBobMarley Growquest - I'll check him out. Thanks!

@ameliabedelia99 As long as yours is still growing then it's a good sign. I actually don't plan on letting mine get bigger then 7ft. I live in chicago so will have to bring it in for the winter and let it be outside for the summer. If you go to the list of people i subscribed to, check out Growquest. The guy has a lot of great avocado videos. I guess he actually grows a lot of different plants so this guy definitely knows what he's doing. I think i will end up buying a tree from his site.

@iSmokeLikeBobMarley Thanks for the response. It could very well be that it got shocked - it did get quite cool here - more cool than where avocados are traditionally grown. My plant is slowly growing upwards and ever more outwards. Hope yours do well.
