Would you like to have fresh avocados at home? In Salsa Agricola, we show you how to plant an avocado at home in a simple way. Go on our guide and enjoy this delicious fruit grown by yourself.
1. Seed Preparation
To get started, you will need a avocado pit:
- Wash the bone: Remove the pit from an avocado and wash it well to remove all the pulp.
- Insert chopsticks: Put three or four chopsticks around the bone to suspend it over a glass of water, with the pointed part facing up and the base submerged in water.
2. Germination
Now, wait for the germinating bone:
- Change the water: Change the water every few days to keep it clean.
- Watch the growth: After 2 to 6 weeks, the bone will open and a root will begin to emerge. When the root has some 10 cm, it will be ready to plant.
3. Plant the Avocado in a Pot
Once germinated, it’s time to plant the avocado:
- Select the pot: Use a pot of about 20 cm in diameter with good drainage.
- Plant the bone: Fill the pot with rich land and place the bone with the root down, leaving the top exposed.
- Water well: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
4. Avocado Care
To ensure good growth:
- Sun light: Place the pot in a Sunny place, since avocados need a lot of light.
- Irrigation: Keep the wet land, watering regularly, but without excess.
- Pruning: Prune the upper leaves when the plant reaches about 30 cm tall to encourage bushier growth.
