Needs more light and frequent water changes weekly! Filtered water is preferred :)

Avocado plants apparently take YEARS to grow :,( I really what to propagate one but I'm not sure if I have the patience to wait that long before it produces any fruit lol

And you need a male \& female plant to get fruit. The ones in nurseries are grafted.
