"Once you start, you cannot stop." I have fifteen avocado seeds and there's already five avocado plants in pots. 🥑🥑🥑 "You will never be able to throw another avocado pit ever again" THAT'S SO TRUE I LITERALLY WAIT EVERY TIME WE EAT AVOCADOES JUST TO SAVE THE PIT! The addiction is real. Be warned y'all!

My coworker found out she could sell them in her local area for about $100 per mature avocado plant. So she went to the nearest Qdoba and asked them for all their pits. They gave her a box of about 500 pits and she was successfully able to grow a bit over 450 in her greenhouse on her rented property. A few died but she sold the remaining avocado plants in 2 months. She made enough to buy a house. So here I am, trying to figure out how to grow an avocado successfully 😂 🥑

​@: P not true you know what you doing with any plant tree or flower you can make tremendous things happen and grow and taste delicious weirdo why would someone sell a product that I'd going to grow shifty avacados it's all about how you feed nutrients for it.

[@georghayward9791]

If you want to get the tree to produce, you have to shock the tree. We in South Africa plant the pips and after 3-4 years in the ground, you nail 3-4 inch nails into the thickest part of the trunk and then the tree will go into shock and produce fruits. This is the nature way of survival of the trees to make more fruits for the pips/seeds so the trees don't die out. Tru and let me know.

The seeds in zip bag (your method) show strong root after 1 week only, leaving them in bag for another week and check. no bad odor, no mold. the other seeds have very shy attempts to show roots after 2 weeks.

Funny story - I did the first stage: I put it in a wet paper towel, in a tied bag in a cabinet and then... I forgot about it for many weeks. no idea how many... weeks and weeks... I finally remembered having putting it away, took it out today, and... there was a nice root and stem that had started growing. Plus- it wasn't moldy :) So now it's in a glass bottle, in the manner which you suggested, and I'm exited to see what happens with it! Thank you for this tutorial!

[@namehere8433]

Can't thank you enough for posting this easy method for rooting pits. Wonderful to find this after so many failed toothpick attempts. The wet paper towel and zip lock bag also worked great for mango pits and lemon pits--they both sprouted roots within one week. Avocados have been slower for me-one has rooted so far (2 weeks). I've transferred 3 mangoes and one avocado to propagation cups set atop 4 different, interesting, tall crystal water glasses of different shapes. I'm fascinated by the day to day root growth. I planted the rooted lemon seeds in soil one morning and by nightfall I had sprouts peeking up---that kinda blew me away. My SO is from the Caribbean and eats a mango and an avocado every day so I have a bagful of wrapped pits perking away. I think that a rooted, sprouted pit in a beautiful tall faceted glass is a great gift idea.

[@valentina8698]

I have a tiny improvement that worked very well for me: Instead of a paper towel use wrapped up cling film, it holds moisture too but since it's not organic it's less likely to develop mold. Worked better for me :)

[@Greensky02]

I actually replaced the sandwich bag with cling wrap and kept the paper towel. Is it better for keeping mold at bay? Certainly not! What was interesting though is that it grew twice as fast as my other 2 seeds which were both using the paper towel and sandwich bag method. Could just be a coincidence that I got a "good seed". Further testing is required! 🥸

Sooo I’m just gonna leave this here: The avocado has what is called a ‘complete flower’ because of an unusual behavior known as ‘protogynous dichogamy’. The avocado flower has both functional female and male organs, however they open and close twice over a 2day period...the first day as functionally female and the next as functionally male. So it’s extremely hard to get fruit froze just one tree but it’s possible

[@janebuckland737]

Great presentation and I love your vases and yes let’s grow because it is fun and enjoyment that is the reward..not a 50 pence fruit. As a beginner I have 6 on the go and am just starting to see roots. Loved the ziplock idea and will try that with my next. The addiction begins…🤩👍

Hi Brad. I had a ziplock bag down in my basement aquarium room. I had forgotten about them for months. I was afraid to open the bag as I thought they might be rotten. Amazingly, they were still damp in the paper towels and were sprouting. I also had two new seeds. I cut donuts from pool noodles and made the center hole bigger with a razor knife. The noodle hole was now big enough to allow me to push the seed into it and yet fit snuggly around the seed like a life jacket. They are all floating on top of my aquariums in the basement under bright lights. My only worry is that once they begin to grow they may become top-heavy and want to fall over in the water. I think I will use super glue gel to glue the noodles to each other to create a floating island-like platform that will be more stable. I'll let you know how things progress with it. As for now they are floating nicely on the surface of my aquariums.

@@KeruuKat wow, I did not know that!

[@plantypatty]

The was so helpful!!! And the “yeets” were funny as hell!🤣🤣🤣

[@lizalunamusic5840]

I tried it and it worked perfectly, I just became addicted tooo! Thanks for this great video!!

[@eoinmccullagh]

Thanks for the advice, worked a treat! My avocado is still in water, just wondering, have you ever added plant feed or other nutrients directly to the water?

[@bradcanning]

I might experiment with it one day but never have

[@Morkees]

You have avocados on steroids 😂 it took me 3 months to pit get split and have 1 root 😂 it's been 4 months not and it finally got a stem and 4 leaves on it with still only one root 😂

[@Longthakyd]

Morkees I have the same problem, took me nearly 3 months for my original avocado to crack. However, my second batch of avos, one cracked about 2 weeks in and has a root growing !!

[@16traps]

Mine took like 4 days 😂

Not all germinate fast in my experience but don’t give up cos they eventually will germinate. Unless it’s grownh fungi etc then don’t give up. Try keeping them in a warm place. It will germinate wayyyyy faster in warm weather or if you keep the house warm. They don’t like sprouting if it’s too cold so try not to let it get cold or it won’t think it’s time to sprout

[@fatbastard1216]

It's been 7 months and one barely grew a stalk but never rooted, one rotted completely, and the last one has a super tiny stalk and a shit load of roots that only came in a month ago. I think the submersion in water is bad and also too much sun burned my babies. I have 3 newer ones that are growing way faster than the original 3 and I'm guess it's because we're getting a lot less intense sun now that it's fall 😪

[@arianastowell]

Perhaps the avocado itself is not that healthy may I suggest getting more then one specifically ORGANIC avocados have a better chance of growing

[@alexceglinski9443]

first time on your channel. You're so great! Will defs try this!!

[@peterelmo2181]

6:26... So true... I have like 4 pits right now, they're looking really good and at just this early stage, I'm already addicted to planting them. Everytime I see an avocado the first thing that comes to my mind is the immense urge to germinate it... Its irresistible. Its like avocados have this anomalous property of manipulating intelligent organisms into helping it reproduce. They grow in such a fun way and leave you with that proud sensation that you've accomplished greatness. Like you just created the perfect offspring for your life.

[@brittneymiller605]

It actually will produce 🥑 IF you have two different types of avocados and let bees cross pollinate them! 🥑💚🥑

[@liladuran8733]

Yes but it might be a yucky avocado because the genetic content of the seed is different to what when into making the avocado flesh. Avocados aren't "true to seed" so the avocado tree you get from planting a seed is probably not gonna be as yummy as the avocado you got that seed from. Commercial avovado farms graft the yummy avovado trees into snipped seedlings to make new yummy avocado trees.

[@luca-brawlstars3818]

Anybody tried grafting avocadoes? I have maybe 5 year old one into which I could graft a young seedling I guess.

[@LifeofLisaSimpson]

When you see those nodes (clumps on roots) that means the avocado needs to be potted in soil.

[@tzet63]

Can I throw it away if it does cause idk where to get soil

[@LifeofLisaSimpson]

Tzé T you can probably keep it in the water for as long as you want. It might die on it own then you can throw it out lol

[@bradcanning]

most plants have nodes. when placed in water, roots grow out of the nodes. the white clumps on the roots help absorb nutrients. avocados can live in water forever. you have the option to plant in soil but they can live in water.

[@MasteringHow-To]

Love your place. Really dig the vibe

[@respecthewoman]

How adorable. You know you can also crush it to pieces and put it in your foods. Its packed with lots of vitamins
