How to make avocado bonsai

Selection of avocado seeds

Step 1: Choose an avocado that is ripe and plump. When choosing, pay attention to the freshness of the avocado. If the fruit is dark green in color, has a rough surface, feels heavy when picked up, feels firm and hard when pressed, and the stem is bright green, it means the fruit is fresh.

Step 2: Cut the avocado from head to tail, gently twist the fruit open, and carefully remove the seeds.

Step 3: Rinse the seeds with clean water and remove impurities on the surface of the seeds.

Germination of avocado seeds

Step 1: Cut off the top and bottom of the avocado seed to make it easier for the seed to germinate.

Step 2: Wrap the seeds with a damp paper towel and place the seeds in a sealed box in a dark place for 14-21 days.

Step 3: Check the seeds regularly to see if they have germinated, keep the room ventilated, and prevent the seeds from rotting. Keep the paper towel moist, and when the roots grow to six or seven centimeters, you can plant them in the soil.

Step 3: Place the processed seeds on the balcony, but avoid direct sunlight, just use scattered light.
