just finished my arabic homework and i am really in mood to post something about avocado. its about to grow avocado from its seed.
i read many avocado lovers grumbled about which technique is better than which in getting the root to come out from the seed. so, i intend to do the experiment myself. i named them as METHOD A and METHOD B.
so, you are going to need these items...
try to differentiate the head and the bottom of the seed. the one that is shown in the pic above is the bottom. the root will come out from there |
poke the 3 toothpick to the position shown above |
place nicely so that the bottom of the seed will sip in the water |
put near the window where it is exposed to sunlight. leave it there for 2-3 weeks. dont forget to change the water if it gets murky. most importantly make sure there is no mosquitoes egg hatches! haha.. |
METHOD B
put the seed on the used news paper |
wrap / crumble it with the seed inside |
put in the plastic bag/container |
fill in some water (tap water is fine) |
throw the excess water. we just need the paper to be wet |
fold loosely and leave it for 2-3 weeks |
THE RESULT
FROM METHOD A after 2 weeks plus, notice the crack, but no root |
FROM METHOD B same duration, it cracked and a healthy root jotting out from it |
CONCLUSION
method B is better. you can place the seed on the soil now, placing the root in the soil. dont forget to water it :)
(sorry no pic of planting it the soil as i havent got the suitable pot for it)
good luck!
