    I have part grown an avacado in soil it rooted,in soil,but where the trunk was supposed to sprout there were like notty bits,it's hard to explain..
    But I have bought another avacado & I am going to give it another go..
    I live in England so our weather is totally diffrent,we are having a heat wave in September lol..
    I'm going to try again today..
    Watching you cut your beautiful avacado plant,I could see you didn't want to do it,if & when I get to that stage I'm going to feel the exact same way..
    By the way I love the bonsai tree idea,I have never heard of that idea before..

    I’ve been giving my seed a bath every three days and it is starting to have a stem. The roots split in two and are small stubby guys. The thing grows sooooooooo slow. I’ve had plants live full lives before this egg even has a leaf. When you cut that my heart stopped for a sec haha but thank you for advice. I’ll have to get a few drinks in me before I’ll have the courage but it will be done

    @heyitsjel Рік тому

    Avocados will totally grow fine by themselves, and bear fruit (ie. self pollinate, to some extent). I think what you're referring to is when people recommend pairing a type A avocado with a type B avocado. Essentially, avocados have both male and female flowers on the same plant, but they're largely open at different times... so by planting a type A nearby to a type B avocado, the flowers will be able to more effectively cross pollinate each other as when the type A has female flowers open, the type B will have male flowers open (and vice-versa). In theory, this will give you *more* avocados (assuming the plant can support it). Also, you'll need to make sure the timings are similar for the types of A & B avocados you choose (ie. both blooming at similar times, or have some overlap in their flowering/fruiting season).
    Edit: I've honestly found that they germinate just as easily in a damp soil mix (like moist coco peat) as they do in a glass of water, and it'll save you having to transplant it later. It may take *marginally* longer to germinate in the coco mix, but you won't suffer any stunting/shock due to transplanting from water to a growing media... ultimately it's about the same time, but the coco is easier IMHO.

    Wow, that's an amazing amount of avocado sprouts! Looks beautiful! Btw, you don't _have_ to remove the skin - I've got two newly sprouted ones with the skin still on (I didn't know better at the time!), the skin just cracked and dissolved or flaked, pretty much. YMMV, I guess? And yeah, avocados don't grow true to seed, but they won't be warped, they'll just most likely taste disgusting. But if you're extremely lucky and grow one that tastes good: congratulations, you've now added another edible avocado varietal to the world (there are like 5 I think?), and you'll likely be a multi-millionaire if you play your cards right.

    • @rebeccaaliberti5053
      @rebeccaaliberti5053 Рік тому

      I didn't know there were so little edible avocado variables. But how come you could be millionaire from finding a new one? Is that the case for all the produce that only have an handful of edible variable as well?
      Does it mean some people actively search for new variables by planting tons of plants because it's like hitting the jackpot if it works out? Maybe it's also a job and some people do that as a living at nurseries but I never thought about it before.
      Anyway sorry for all the questions 😅

    • @Kraaketaer
      @Kraaketaer Рік тому +1

      @@rebeccaaliberti5053 haha, no problem. It's not like I'm an expert, just repeating things I've read/heard from more knowledgeable ppl. But yes, there are experimental nurseries searching for new palatable varieties of avocado, as it's a desirable high-priced... fruit? Whatever it is, it sells for comparatively high prices to other things, and there being few varieties (and every plant of each of those being a clone) makes them very susceptible to diseases. New varieties might also be able to be grown in new locations or have other desirable qualities. And the avocado industry is massive and highly profitable - so profitable that drug cartels have tried to take it over in certain regions. And sales of cuttings of established edible avocado varieties are strictly controlled. So finding a new palatable variety would be a huge opportunity for selling it at a high price, and there would be a lot of interested parties.

    Thank u for your channel & seed growing knowledge and info👍🙏🥑! IMPORTANT question here!!! ..can u or SOMEONE plz answer this?? Ok.. I thought, from, from what u showed in your video, that you had cut the stem of a small avocado plant, and placed it in water next to the uncut plant..and that the cut stem began growing leaves, and you had continued to grow it alongside the uncut plant..but then you said that the "cut stem" had died.. but THEN, you showed pictures of two plants, growing next to each other as u explained and showed that the "cut" plant was doing well and growing beautiful leaves.🤷‍♀️. So can you please explain what happened with the stem that died, and what plant is in your video, next to the uncut plant? Im so confused! Did the cut plant die or its growing? Im also confused bc BOTH PLANTS in your video have seeds they are growing out of ..so how can one of those even be the cut plant??

    Jesus loves you. He died on the cross for you even though you may have bot even known who He was. While we still did bad things against Him, He loved us and died on the cross in our place as we deserve death because of our sins. The Lord died for you. Whatever you are going through, He can help you through it and all you have to do it invite Him into your heart and He will change you. “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.”
