It's literally taken about three months but my avocado pit has finally started sending up a sprout. It's been that size for about two weeks but there is a little green on the top so it's not dead. What do I do now?

Trees work more on their root system then their branches so before they even sprout they establish a root system just let it be and don’t overwater the soil looks a lil to moist just remember avocados are from Mexico

Thank you. I didn't know that. Do you know how much light it needs?

I would assume atleast 5 hour of direct light
