I decided to do a quick recording of me moving one of my avocado seed from it's old container to a newer one. This avocado seed had been growing in that same plastic bottle since the beginning and it sure made itself cozy! Lol. Check out those roots!

Hi, put in water several Hass seeds in water, several Florida avocados (I think is Hall seeds) and one Slimcado. How long I need to wait to see roots? the water needs to be hot or cold? the water needs to be rain water? Please give me extra tips.

Mine have been sitting for 3 months; nothing.. it started to mold and so I had to throw it out.. :-(

I opened an avocado, I saw that there is a little pop out from where the roots are suppose to grow, it's brown colour, is that a root?

Can it live only in water?

I am going to try to grow avocados but I need to know if I need to peel the shell off of the pit or keep it on

Hi!.I have my first seedling that sprouted about a month 2 months ago. It appears the root has died and the 1st sprout that came out. But now there's a tiny new sprout. What do i do to keep it going? will a new root come out?..thanks! Al

How long was that seed in water before you posted this video?

In your experience can you grow a plant by only putting the seed in water? My small avocado has been in water for a long time and has a bunch of roots but only an inch of stem.

Does it have to do with how deep the container is? My current container is pretty shallow. About 7 inches deep

Do you plant then when the pit is dry or moist ?

so after im done eating a avacado i got from my local fruit store i could take the seed put it in water and it will grow roots then once the roots have grown i put it in dirt ?

uh, one of the most expensive veggies there is?

Avocado,very cheap,no need to grow.

i will want to see all your advocado three

how long does it take to make fruit I heard it takes 5 years!? thanks

once the "trunk" part is actually growing, how do you trim it and when? mine is getting pretty long and starting to sprout leaves, so I don't want to cut it if it's too late or would harm it!!!

About the avo with the crazy roots how much longer are you growing it in the water. When are you planting it?

@bubba906 It varies from seed to seed. Some takes within a week and others takes 2 weeks. The smaller avocados (Hass Avocado) seems to take longer to root for me, at least 2-3weeks on those. These are for me, with my "tropical" florida weather. In a much colder climate, it may take at least a month.

@MyInspiredCreation I will flip it? thanks

@SteveHarpster That is strange the the top would crack and not the bottom. Maybe your avocado is upside down? Lol. Make sure it's submerged halfway in the water just in case the root is trying to come up from the opposite end. If it is upside down, it's sensing the water so it's trying to come out.

@MyInspiredCreation hello, I only have one and it does get sun, the top has a crack ( pointy side ) but not the bottom ( flat side ) and no roots

I so enjoy the sweet music intro and your calming voice. Enjoy all your growing ideas.
