How to plant avocado seeds

Avocado seeds should be planted in spring. When sowing, peel off the seed coat on the sand bed for germination. Choose deep, well-drained, and windproof soil.

Avocado seeds prefer a growing environment with plenty of sunlight and long days, and a warm and humid climate. They are not cold-resistant, but can tolerate temperatures as low as 0 degrees. Avocado seeds have a strong adaptability to soil.

Avocado Seed Planting Steps

The steps for planting avocado seeds are relatively simple. First, take out the seeds and wash them. Then insert toothpicks into the seeds from four directions and place them on a glass bottle so that one-third of the core is soaked in water. Wait until it sprouts and then you can plant it.

How to Plant Avocado Seeds

1. Planting in the ground: When planting avocado seeds in the ground, you should choose a place with sufficient light for sowing, with the pointed end of the seed facing upwards, and slowly place it into the dug small hole. Then cover the seed with soil, compact the surrounding soil, and water it once a day. Seedlings will grow in about half a month.

2. Potted: When choosing soil for potted avocado trees, be sure to select soil with good drainage and air permeability. Loose and fertile soil can make the avocado fruit fuller and contain more nutrients. Mix ordinary humus soil and garden soil, and add a small amount of bone meal as base fertilizer.
