How to have an avocado tree

I love the avocado! That's why i want grow it at home in order to savor this energetic fruit with so many beneficial properties for the body.

Plant an avocado tree It is not a difficult task, it all begins with the fruit itself, since a large tree can grow from its core.

The importance of the seed

The first thing then is preserve the stone. You can buy an avocado, open it in half and then extract the pit, always taking care not to cut it. Then you have to wash it in water to remove any rest of the fruit but always keeping its brown skin.

Beyond the fact that all the stones are not the same, they are all round in shape and have a somewhat flatter base and an upper end, located opposite it. Once the base is found, you have to immerse it in water so that the roots begin to grow. To do this, you can help yourself by placing some toothpicks in the stone so that it is then suspended and only the base of it is submerged.

The process

Ideally, change the water daily to avoid the proliferation of fungi and bacteria although some recommend doing it every 5 to 7 days. Little by little and over the next 8 weeks the stone will develop and change its appearance: the upper part will dry out and form a crust that will then spread to the base. Then it will break in two and the root will appear that will grow until a shoot will appear at the top of the stone. In this process it is important that the root always remains submerged.
