Growth in Seed of Avocado
|
1) After removing the fleshy part of Avocado fruit, collect the seed carefully without damaging it. It is ball sized , slightly oval, not complete round.
2) wash the seed from any remnants of the fruit , otherwise it may be prone to ants attack, the seed while you plant it.
3) Notice that there is a covering on the seed, delicately remove the covering peel, this will help the seed to sprout faster.
4) Choose a well draining rich soil, that does not dry faster.
5) Plant the Avocado seed below five to six inches in a plant container. just see that the seed is covered with soil.
6) Too deep planting of Avocado seed will stifle growth and the seed may also not sprout, and get damaged by taking more time to begin growth.
7) It may take more than a month or two, have patience and water carefully, regularly when the top of soil looks dry.
Let the Avocado plant grow happily , later it can be shifted to larger container.
