Germinating the seeds basically

involves propping the seeds on a cup
lled with water then waiting for it to
root. An Avocado seed is usually
elliptic in shape, having a blunt
rounded end and a pointier end. The
rounded end needs to be in contact
with or submerged in the water. This
is where the roots will form. I pierced
the seed with 3 toothpicks so I could
set it on the Styrofoam cup.

Make sure to change the water if it

begins to grow mold. Since it is quite
hot where I am, I usually had to
replenish the water due to evaporation
or else the seed wont be submerged
and will dry out if youre not careful.

After a week the bottom of the seed is

beginning to crack open readying
itself to send down roots.

The seeds wont always germinate at

the same time. In three weeks 2 of my
seeds already had a lot of root while
the 3rd seeds bottom had not even

cracked yet. It probably lagged behind

the other seeds by a month.

You can try planting an Avocado seed

the traditional way by burying it in
soil but make sure the orientation is
still correct. The rounded end must be
towards the ground and the pointed
end towards the sky. I didnt choose
this method since in my opinion the
water cup is a lot better.

Germinating an Avocado seed in a cup

of water makes it easier on yourself to
check if the seed is either dead or
making progress without having to
yank it out of the soil which could
damage the roots if there are any.
