How To Grow An Avocado Tree

How To Grow An Avocado Tree
 
 


 
Use the photo above as a reference.
 
First take the pit from the avocado and rinse off any remaining flesh that may be still on it.
 
Insert toothpicks into the pit and suspend it over the top of a small glass or jar with the pointed end of the pit facing up.
 
Fill the glass/jar with water until about two thirds of the pit is submerged in the water.
 
Change the water every few days so it doesn't get dirty.
 
This process takes patience, but I promise it will work.
 
In the photo above, it shows the top photo that's when I first put it in the water, after about a month or so, the pit began to split (bottom left of the photo)
Now, after a few more weeks it has started to sprout roots!
 
This is as far as I've gotten but I will update when as soon as there is a change. Next, a stem should sprout from the top of the pit pretty soon!
 
This is such a fun project especially for the kiddos!
 
Have fun and please feel free to post a comment if you have any questions!
