how do you plant a seed from an avacado?

Question

We ate an avacado and want to plant the seed, but we do not know if we are suppose to let the seed dry out first or just plant it. We also want to know exactly how deep to plant it and where...sunlight and so on.

Answer 1

Chuck is right.

Please note, however, that this will only get you the seedling for a tree. It will take several years for it to mature, and you'll need a male tree and a female tree in order for them to bear fruit.

Answer 2

Put three toothpicks into the sides of the seed and suspend the seed at the top of a glass of water. The water should just touch the bottom of the seed. Keep the water at that level until the roots begin to show. Let the roots grow to a length of about 2-3 inches. Ready to plant in rich potting soil, indoors.

Answer 3

There's two ways: 1) plant in moist soil , seed half-way in dirt with pointy side sticking up 2) Suspend in water with toothpicks at each 90 degree(4), again about halfway. A more compicated is to follow #1 in a paper cup, place saran wrap over seed and secure to paper cup with a rubber band. I use this method on a lot of pants/seeds in my greenhouse. Good luck!

Answer 4

i started my avocado tree by puting the seed into a platic bag with a wet papertowel and setting it on the windowsill right after eating the avocado. (just like in first grade, when you make a bean seed sprout, haha) when the seed starts to root, then put it in soil

Answer 5

way back in 4th grade, we put toothpicks in a avocado seed, over a short glass with water, when it rooted, we planted it

Answer 6

put toothpicks in it, halfway in water until it starts growing, then plant it.
