First time growing an avocado 🥑 seed, any tips?
It looks like you forgot to remove the skin off the seed! You need to soak it in water for like a day then it will peel right off. This will speed up the germinating process so you will get the roots growing!

1 LikeWhen it is ready to be potted make sure it has partial direct sunlight and is out side, also what type of climate do you have in summer and winter. This will help with advice! How much in of rain?😅 Also if it snows an avacadotree is not a good idea!😅
1 LikeThank you all for the advice! Vici, It hasn't snowed much here in the past few years, but during the winter could I bring the Tree inside? Btw I live in PA.
0 LikesSorry it took so long to reply.😅 But yes definitely take her inside during the winter because they are tropical plants and love humid warm temperatures.
