Hey all, Iām wondering: have you ever been able to grow an avocado plant from the pit/seed of a grocery store avocado? If so, what was the most effective method that you used?

SunnyClean the seed and suspend the lower half in water using toothpicks until the root and stem grows out. There are many articles and videos describing the step by step details. Itās not difficult. Just change the water weekly and plant in soil when the roots and stems grow.

Manic1I tried the other method of soaking the pit and peeling off the thin brown layer. Then I wrapped it in some damp/wet kitchen paper towel, put it in a sealed plastic bag and left it in a dark place for a few weeks. Same results without the toothpicks.

NewerHorizons777I have a compost pile, and a couple years ago I noticed several avocado pits sprouting. Kinda odd, but they seemed to grow pretty well. Of course, those other methods are more tried and true and are more sustainable indoors.

I tried the method Sunny described years ago and had a plant for a while but I ended up killing it somehow š

Did the toothpick method pre pandemic and ended up with 2 big plants. I wasnāt so good with plants back then so they ended up dying after a few years š but it was totally worth it and really fun!

GigiThis is my avocado plant (from seed) I've been nurturing for about a year and a half. She likes the outdoors better if it's warm enough, but we're still having cold snaps in middle TN. š„
