Plant stories #1 - How to grow your own little avocado tree

Welcome back plant lovers and urban jungle explorers!

Today's story is about how to transfer this beautiful fruit in this little tree:

I'm going to explain every step in the following. But first of all – you have to be patient with your avocado. It takes about 3 months until you just can put your avocado seed into the soil. After some more weeks, it will grow its first leaves.

So, how to prepare it:

1. Open the avocado carefully, make sure you don't damage the pit. Seperate the pit from its fruit flesh.

2. Clean the pit.

3. Peel the thin skin, very carefully...

...until its fully naked.

4. Now grab yourself a glass of water and three stripes of wire (alternative you can use spits of wood as well).

5. Press the three wire stripes into the sides of the avocado - even if it feels a bit bad.

6. Let's swim! Put the avocado in a position that is half in the water and half in the air. Clear water every 1-2 days

Now we are half way done. Choose a location that is very sunny and additionally if its possible use a greenhouse. As I said, it will take some month until it splits and grows its root. You are free to plant the pit into soil when the root is about 3 cm. Don't forget to change the water often (every 1-2 days) otherwise it can get scruffy.
