Avocado Pits Grow into a Nice House Plant

RE: Avocado Pits Grow into a Nice House Plant By Pache (3) Contact My mom has an avocado tree in her back yard that she started from a pit, and now she gets so many avocados she hands them out to all her neighbors. Of course she lives in the California Bay area, so that may help.

This is a big problem since there are only 2 -3 leaves per plant. My 2 plants are about 12 - 18" tall. Help!

I have been growing these things for years and soil makes them a far more solid and sturdy plant, just tuck it about 3/4 of the way into some good potting soil pointy side up and keep moist, I always use bottled water because they dont seem to like chlorine thats in tap water...have fun Posted on 07/27/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Avocado Pits Grow into a Nice House Plant By shmali_girl (Guest Post) Today I started two.

I am even going to follow its progress at: http://www.squidoo.com/growing-avocado-from-seed/ I was amazed at how quickly the root grows once it gets going! Maybe half to 1 centimeter per day!

I've tried on numerous occassions to start an avocado plant and never have any luck. I've put the pit in water with the toothpicks large side down, left it in a window but nothing ever happens.

So far a several inch root and green stem (or pack of leaves?) has sprouted while being suspended in a glass of water for over a month. Today I decided to plant it in some soil (although I'm not certain that it's ready.) I bought some Miracle Grow potting soil that uses a special moisture control mix to compensate for over/underwatering. However, I've read that avocados need soils that drain well, and I think that this soil tends to retain water if I'm not mistaken. So, should I repot it in some other kind of soil? Also, the seedling is still attached to the inside of the pit, although the pit is cracked open. Do I need to detach the seedling so it can get more light? I've left it inside the pit for now.

They are fine outdoors if the wind is not too bad. They are more a houseplant then an outside plant............ say hi to Osker!

Reb1234 Posted on 09/20/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Avocado Pits Grow into a Nice House Plant By (Guest Post) Avocado's make excellent trees, I just stick mine on nails or toothpicks, three of them and point them towards the sky and wait. They all have their own time. Some of them never grew, some of them did. I never pinch mine back either. They are so wonderful, I have had my most recent plant since last spring, while it was still cold. I also put tomato seeds in the soil of my other potted plants. I have become kind of tomato crazy, I love them! After they sprout I move them to another plant holder. They kind of keep the soil happy and the avocado plant seems to love having plants growing around it. Mine is now three feet tall, and I talk to it each day. They like it a lot, and they like being in a pot which is big enough so they don't become pot bound. OK I admit it, I occasionally name mine.

Posted on 06/26/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Avocado Pits Grow into a Nice House Plant By rosieposi (Guest Post) I did all that. Should I transfer it into a bigger pot. Posted on 06/26/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Avocado Pits Grow into a Nice House Plant By rosieposi (Guest Post) It took me 6 months for roots to form in a glass of water. i planted it in soil 8 months ago. It is now sitting on my window sill and is 6 inches tall. I think it may have to go in a bigger pot. I live in n.y. and do not have a garden to plant it in. I only want it to grow as a house plant among all my other plants. What do I do to keep it growing. Posted on 06/26/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse
