Great information. Thank you

I was led here because one day my seedling died (may it RIP) and I thought to myself oh my I need to buy some more avocados to grow another tree.. The very next day I manifested myself a sprouted avocado! It had 4 stems and it’s growing so beautifully til this day. Currently watching all your videos so I can have as much knowledge for my avocados to thrive! Thank you for your videos ❤

Very Helpful! Thank you 😅

Danke!

Hi. I am from Pretoria, South Africa. Winter (June) 2024 I have put my 2 avo pips in water and kept it on my stoep which gets quite humid, protected from harsh weather. 2 months in they started rooting. Another 2 months and they started growing stems. 1 pip made 2 stems. When about 30cm I pruned them to enhance growing branches and it went well (still in water). Now it's January 2025 and I have potted them with a little bit of pecan nut shells at the bottom and filled with outdoor potting soil in the pot. Both pips in 1 pot for now as the pot is about 30cm high with 20cm diameter (all I have for now). However, the pip with 2 stems started growing yet another stem in December 2024 at the bottom, will prune it when the time is ready. I will see the progress and when repotting in a year try to separate the pip with 3 stems carefully, hopefully it works. My triplets I am calling Lulu, Boo (late bloomer) and Lexy. The other one is called Chucky. I am a bit worried about him, while it was still in water I noticed its side roots getting smaller, hopefully the potting will now enhance the roots growing again. The stems which were pruned already have beautiful leaves and have quite a few leaves already. The late bloomer (Boo) Is now approximately 6cm high with a couple of leaves already, slam bam in the middle of Lulu and Lexy. Not sure when the outer part of the 2 pips is going to fall off though. I have now moved them out from the stoep so that they can get more natural sunlight and rain water, but they are still protected from strong winds. Coming winter I will move them back on the stoep to protect them from extreme cold weather. Any advice will be welcomed, I would like to have nice avo's in a few years. Another question - I would like to forever keep them in pots as we are renting our house and will probably move from time to time for financial reasons. Will they ever bring forth avo's while in pots? Can I from time to time add rooibos tealeaves in the soil for nutrition? I am so excited about these babies, I am not really a green fingers person, tried mango's before, went well for 6 months until it started dying 😢.

Do I have to wait til there are stems or can I just start cutting from the top? My plant has a long stem and just now the top leaves are coming. Please advise 🙏🏽

Please just say all that talk

I'm afraid to cut it 😢 What if my plant dies?

Could you use some root hormone and root that cutting?

If someone lived in zone 4 where it below 0*f in the winter and up to 105*f in the summer. Can that someone grow an avocado in the house in the cold months and then bring it outside in the summer to help it to thrive? What grade and what do you teach as a teacher in your school?

Turned out great!

Looks great! How did the hanging basket turn out?

Thanks for sharing the video. I really enjoy them. I have an avocado tree that I started from a seed and watched your video on how to do it and it's been 3 years now and it's doing great. It's about 5 ft tall and I keep it inside for extremely cold weather otherwise it stays outside. I had never grown an avocado tree before and I might say it's really been a very exciting time.

Yes, I have way too big pot 😢

yum

Wow you are smart makes total sense ty

Nice simple video. I'm sure I can follow. Need them for my tropical house in supper cold Minnesota, USA. Here is hoping they grow and join my other tropical plants.

Scott can you help me with my tree I started it in June of 2022 ant it is tall lanky and with not that many leaves I watched your vid on the topic but mine is under grow lights as I'm in the UK so we don't get much light and I don't know what to do. I feed it tea bag in water then add oats then strain it seams to work but my tree Is still lanky if you can help please message/reply also the leaves are turning brown watched the vid on that but the leaves are also turning up and I don't know why

🙏😎🌱

In your previous video you mentioned peat moss being important for its acidity. With peat being replaced with coco coir is this still an important factor?

Thank you for such amazing advice. This is my first time actually getting an 🥑 avocado to start, and it's doing amazing until the browning on the sides and the edges of the leaves, and I want to thank you for all that advice It was amazing I did not know any of that. I live in Oregon. It's winter, and yeah, I was wondering, should I mist it to make up for the humidity that it's not getting in the house? 🤔 Once again, I want thank you 😊 for taking the time to teach all of us!! I love learning about plants 🪴 heck learning in general.

Prune your Beard 😂😂😂😂

I'll never understand women and men with long nails.

I love that you are wearing Becca's merch! I have the greenhouse sweatshirt. Thank you for answering my question and THANK YOU for the work you do as a teacher. Both of my parents were teachers and have made differences in the lives of students. You will definitely help change lives, Scott.

I did this with 4 avocado plants and they all just grew super tall and skinny again from the new trunk that grew out... can't get them to stay short! Maybe not enough light in my apartment so they are reaching? Any help appreciated

I'm so afraid to do pruning by myself. I just can't do with my own hands ha ha this is first time I have grown a plant .I'm gonna tell my mom to do it

my tree is about 26 inches tall. Looking good, never cut it. 7" pot. Thinking about re-potting Should I?

I been doing this since 2years and failed and finally i grow my avocado seed and planning to bonsai it... i did put tge avaocafo seed ina wet paper towel and put it in a ziplock

I watched another video, they said to prune new growth at top tip of plant, so I did. Are my trees going to be ok? 😢

Its not albino in video - it have green in it from the start

Thanks Scott! What are thrips? thripps? I've never heard of this! I'm in the US so maybe it goes by a different name here? Or perhaps I've had good luck in never coming across it. Great video as always, thanks!

When should you plant avocado trees outside?

I loved this. Reminiscent of Mr. Roger’s 😊

tree looks great. I’m still struggling as a gardener. Seems my tree grows, gets about 14” tall with beautiful leaves, then all of a sudden the leaves dry and fall off. I don’t know if it’s lack of sunlight as the season changes, or air is drier, or them temp falls too much at night. They are all indoors & I’m in Colorado. Maybe I need to set a series of appts & alarms to make sure it’s not me/my care lapsing?

Thankyou!! 👍🥑

Thank you for the perspective and for taking up this important topic -- and for being a positive influence on the next generation. Good teachers are so important for society and we don't value it enough. Your videos have brought me, a lifelong computer nerd and basement dweller, in touch with nature in a way I would have never expected a couple of years ago. 🤘

You reminded me I need to repot some things! I always love a chatty repot for that reminder. 😂 Everything looks so great!

I really enjoyed listening to your chat. Thank you.

...Have you considered ,tying the Lower Beanch( Training it to Grow up Nexr ro rhe Main stem) add some Calcium to the mix so it will harden over the weeks and continue on its own to grow Up straight...I have a Double Stem Growth ,I'm doing the same to it as I suggest .,I exprct they'll appear as twins in due time...

Hey Scott, what does it mean when top new foliage come out lighter tone and then start to curl up?😮

Hi Scott hope you are having an amazing day

Can you propagate the top you prune?

not so much a sl8m chance of fruit being horrible except first year. most report taste is better each succeding year as tree matures. ymmv

I have a tree that's only 10 in tall and lost it's leaves and the top half is brown and dying....what should I do?

Can you propagate the cutting? I let one avocado tree go in the yard this summer and now it’s just one inv stalk, even tho I did prune it really early on. So I want to prune it again, but it’s SO HARD to cut off lovely leaves

Mine has progressed it's 🍃 now it's in a pot and still growing new leafs

Zone 7--I plant my avocado seeds outside and will find the plants in the next year.

Me mum had an Avocado plant and without her knowledge me dad pruned it way back She had a fit. But then it bushed out So yeah Prune in the right spot and it's a good thing

Is there a specific time to prune avocados or can we prune them whenever we want?
