weegegirl 2 #78 May 30, 2006 I'm in! Gonna plant one tonight! Just for Shannon! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites yardhippie 0 #79 May 30, 2006 FYI for all those that are growing an avocado plant soon. 1.Wash the seed. Using three toothpicks, suspend it broad end down over a water-filled glass to cover about an inch of the seed. 2.Put it in a warm place out of direct sunlight and replenish water as needed. You should see roots and stem sprout in about two to six weeks. 3.When the stem is six to seven inches long, cut it back to about three inches. 4.When the roots are thick and the stem has leafed out again, plant it in a rich humus soil in a 10-1/2" diameter pot, leaving the seed half exposed. 5.Give it frequent, light waterings with an occasional deep soak. Generally, the soil should be moist but not saturated. Yellowing leaves are a sign of over-watering; let the plant dry out for a few days. 6.The more sunlight, the better. 7.If leaves turn brown and fry at the tips, too much salt has accumulated in the soil. Let water run freely into the pot and drain for several minutes. 8.When the stem is 12 inches high, cut it back to 6 inches to encourage the growth of new shoots. 9.Don't expect your house plant to bear fruit. 10.Although this does occur occasionally, it usually requires grafting. A plant grown from seed will take anywhere from five to 13 years to flower and bear fruit. 11.Fruit on trees grown from seeds are seldom good to eat. more hereGoddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Frenchy68 0 #80 May 30, 2006 QuoteFYI for all those that are growing an avocado plant soon. 1.Wash the seed.
