– 1 avocado pit
– 4 toothpicks
– 1 jar
Indications
Soak the core in hot water between 35 and 40° for half an hour.
Carefully clean the avocado pit, insert 4 toothpicks into it, equidistant from each other.
Then put it in a glass filled with water; the toothpicks should keep the core halfway soaked so that the rounded part remains exposed.
Change the water in the glass when it becomes cloudy.
Place it out of the sun but in a warm place until the stem grows and the roots become visible.
This growth can take 2 to 6 weeks.
Wait for more leaves to grow and the roots to reach 1 or 2 centimeters before planting the core.
How to plant the kernel?
In a large plant pot, filled with nutrient-rich soil, place your seed in it by making a small hole, making sure the end of the seed is exposed to the outside.
How to take care of it ?
Once the avocado tree is planted, move it to a sunny location in your home.
Water the tree generously and regularly, ensuring that the soil remains moist but not saturated.
If you notice that the leaves are becoming dry and dark, it is not hydrated enough.
Then put your pot in the sink and let the water flow into the sink to ensure drainage through the hole in the pot.
Conversely, if the leaves turn yellow and sag, it means that the tree is overwatered.
In this case, you should stop hydrating it for a few days and reduce the amount of water in the future.
You have to be patient before the tree bears fruit. In the meantime, have fun and tell yourself that gardening is the best therapy for anxiety and stress.
