• Make sure the glass stays in a warm place all the time and you expose it to the sunlight.
• Then from 2 to 8 weeks you should see the stem growing, and once it has reached 6 inches, the roots will be visible, then you should cut the stem to 3 inches. Then be patient and wait for it to grow it back to 6 inches, then the leaves will start to appear.
• Get a large pot, fill it with soil rich with nutrients, and make a hole of few inches. Then you should plant the seed, make sure the pot is at least 10 cm in diameter, and it has drainage holes on its bottom. Make sure one half of the seed is out of the soil.
• Make sure your pot stays in a hot and sunny area, and water the plant just like any other tree. If you notice your leaves catching a yellowish color, than it means that the plant doesn’t need that much water, so don’t water the plant for a couple of days. But if your leaves start to turn brown, then it needs a lot more water. Put it in your sink and let water run through it for a couple of seconds.
• The tree might need a few years to supply you with avocados, but once it starts to grow them, you will enjoy the healthiest, most beneficial and organic avocados.
