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!
