Step 5: Transfer to Soil
- Once the stem is about 15 cm tall, cut it back to 7 cm to encourage stronger growth.
- When it grows back, plant it in a small pot with rich, well-draining soil.
- Bury only the bottom half of the seed in soil.
Step 6: Care & Maintenance
- Water regularly, keeping soil moist but not soggy.
- Place near a sunny window (at least 6 hours of indirect light daily).
- Pinch back the top leaves occasionally to encourage bushier growth.
🌼 Tips for Success
- Patience is key—avocado seeds take time to sprout.
- This is mainly a fun indoor plant project. Fruit production can take many years and may not happen indoors.
- Don’t let the roots dry out during the water stage!
Enjoy the process! Watching a seed grow into a lush green plant is a satisfying journey—and a lovely way to bring nature indoors.
