Avocado Tree Lost Its Leaves?

Avocado Tree Lost Its Leaves? - leafless avocado tree in pot I've been growing this plant from seed for almost a year, at one point it had two or three leaves which eventually fell off. I brought the plant outside for more heat and sunlight and I think the seed burnt. I just want to know if there's any hope for this little guy or if I should just give up

First off your pot is way to small for this tree. Second off you never plant the seed and allow it to be exposed the way you have. The seed needs to be in the soil and covered. I would suggest that you plant the tree again in a much larger pot, cover the seed, and make sure the roots are fine. That will mean that you need to shake the dirt off the root of the tree.

Add soil to the bottom of the pot first, now put the plant in the pot. You can all the roots to be laid on the dirt this won't hurt at all as long as the pot is large enough for the roots to spread out again. Now cut off a bit off the top of the plant and allow it to grow up again.

Thank you!! When I initially potted it I wasnt sure what to do with the seed..the YouTube video I watched had the seed half out of the soil like that so I just followed. I appreciate the advice and will definitely follow :)

Did leaves grow back? how far down did you cut it? I'm in the same boat but with a smaller seedling.
