aaaaa im so so excited!!! yall have no idea!!!!!!!!! so i always try starting my avocado pits just for the heck of it but i never can get them to sprout. but FINALLY today i came downstairs and look at this!!!!! she has a ROOT!!!!!!!!! not much to look at just yet but im so excited maybe ill get an avocado tree!! which leads me to my actual question... what do i do now?!?! i read about how to get them to germinate but never what to do next!!!!! should i leave her alone and let her leaves develop on their own?? is it normal for the bottom to split first?? is the wee lil sprootlet suffocating under that shell???!?!? i am so concerned any advice on taking care of baby avocados is welcomed!!!!!!

    Congrats!! Germinating avo seeds can be so hard. An easy tip to get the process working faster is to germinate it in a plastic bag! All you have to do is soak the seed in water for 1-2 days and peel off the dark brown shell. Then cover the seed in a damp/wet (not soaked) paper towel and stick it in a plastic baggy. Place it in a humid location in your house. Once you get the root, stick the root in a glass of water like you have it, and watch it grow 😊

    For your current one, see if you can rotate it a bit so that the root is downwards, but the stem has room to grow out of the top of the splitter seed! The seed will only split on one side for a really long time. (This picture was my first avo seed that I grew☺️)

      Thank you so much!!! This is very very helpful, I was worried about the little sprout not being able to emerge from the seed!! Will do thanks a million!!! 💖🌱
