A better way to grow avocado pits

Hear's an easy way for Avocado lovers to grow a cool houseplant! Grow an avocado plant. Ever tried the toothpick in the pit with glass of water only to find that the pit rots or the water dries out too quickly? Here's an easier way. All you need is an avocado pit from an avocado you ate, a paper towel, ziplock baggie, and water.

Step one- Eat an avocado, use a spoon to remove the pit, place pit in water while you enjoy the fruit.

Step two- carefully remove the skin from the avocado pit, try not to damage the pit. This will be easier if the pit

was sitting in water before doing this.

Step three-fold paper towel in

half till you have a

long strip.

Step four-wet the paper towel and

wring out the excess water.

Step five-

wrap paper towel around the pit start near top so it covers the bottom, then reverse the

direction of the paper towel so you

wrap it around the pit. leaving the top uncovered.

Step six- place in a ziplock baggie, then place in a warm spot away from direct sunlight.

Step seven-check on the pit

every now and then, if paper towel smells

mildewey replace.

Step eight- when pit has cracked in half with a big

gap and you see the roots growing, plant in a well draining soil.

Step nine- avocado roots will rot easily, so water when soil is almost dry, do not let the roots sit in wet soggy

soil. I used recycled soda bottles to create a self watering container, and only water every two

weeks.

After several weeks your avocado will be growing a baby tree!

So far I have two seedlings growing! With three more

growing their stems.

Bring plants inside for winter, use a grow bulb and add humidity to their room.

I'm setting up a fishless fishtank to add moisture to the air in my plant room.
