almost 3 years ago i watched this video during the pandemic and started my avocado plant, and now it is almost 6 feet tall. but this video was definitely helpful and i’m really glad i did it.
We eat lots of avocados, and I just throw the seeds into my compost and let them grow until there are at least 6 leaves, dig them up, and pop them into a container. They're doing awesome.
My brother and I started doing this yesterday, we want to grow an avocado tree because that's our mum's fav fruit 😅 Edit: 10/24/20 We have planted 2 avocado seedlings on the soil like months ago. Btw, we live in a country with tropical climate and Update for the plants: Both are growing well up to now 😊 Edit: 4/9/2021 The first avocado plant is growing well. For the other plant it died. Maybe because it was planted right next to our big soursop fruit tree. Edit: 7/26/2021 The first avocado plant that we planted is still healthy and it has a lot of leaves. My brother and I also planted another 2 avocado seedlings on the soil recently 😊 Edit: April 14, 2022 Hello! The first plant we ever planted grew about 16 inches. I guess the roots are very long now. We planted 2 seedlings as you can read from the last update. The other plant died while the other has leaves with holes. We transfered it back to a transparent pot and soaked it in water because we planted it to an area where it does not receive enough sunlight and now we do not know where to plant it 😅. The roots are very very long like spaghetti noodles 😂. For now, we just enjoy harvesting from our soursop tree 😋
Watching this, I see 4 years have passed since you published this video. You speak about your 500+ subscribers ! You've done quite a bit of a way since ! Congrats, your audience is well deserved ! Thanks for your kindness and skill ! 🎶🌼
At 58, I tried my very first Avocado 🥑. I have to say...... WOW ! What have I been missing ! Recipe - Vanilla Cashew milk, Honey, Avocado = AWESOME HEALTHY Milkshaw . IT kind of taste like Pistachio ice cream.
@@jooseyjoose8783 Hi, I'm sorry, I cannot say for sure what week I transplanted it but I remember it had grown two sets of leaves (one set above the other. ). It is now a full grown plant and growing well. Remember to not fully bury the seed in the soil. Good luck!👍😀
You probably won’t get any fruit from the avocado tree, & if you do it will take 8+ years, unless you graft it w/ other avocado trees. I think it’s time to face reality …
@@macysondheim I agree. This is very true (as it is for most trees that give fruit.) It's just a fun and easy project to do with kids to get them interested and learn about how things grow.
@@monikareadztoo4550 think about what kind of message that sends to young impressionable children… that there will be no rewards for their hard work & effort. Teaching them to grow avocado trees would be setting them up for failure & disappointment. Or subconsciously teaching them that settling for less is ok. No thanks. I’d rather have my son grow something he can be proud of, like an orange or mango tree 🥭🍊🌳
I just bought avocado and thought that i wanted my own to seed.. such a wonderful video even the way you talk sounds so knowledgeable and confident I’m going to start a new life for the avocado tomorrow and I’ll definitely update it here
I would watch all over again just to see that big honest smile and to hear that lovely british accent of yours. It's incredible the work that you put on in this project. Thanks a lot for being present with me on this planet and namaste. Julian from Bucharest.
Hello I've been trying to grow a few avocados this year and have been loving it! I didn't have any success with this metho but that couldn't been because of a variety of reasons. I ended up experimenting with just putting the avocado stone, unpeeled, poking out of a pot of soil and keeping it watered in a warm potting shed, and it worked! It's now about 80 cm tall and has 13 massive leaves! Super proud. I really trust your videos because I've had so much success growing tomatoes and garlic from your videos so I'll try it again in spring. Thank you so much for such informative videos!
MsWillita8 I know right! What makes it even stranger to me is that I haven’t said anything to anyone about wanting to know how nor have I looked it up.
@@sds1011974 Yep happened to me last week, thought about something specific and within 5 min when I checked my phone a video on the exact topic popped up. I thought to myself : ok Google reading my mind again. Wondering: did I talk to someone about it (bc advertising is often based on my conversations, no one believes me and I'm not paranoid but it's simply happening via microphones in our phones. For example, I spoke to a client about a small village which I never heard of and never talked or read about etc heard it for the first time ever. I hung up, ten min later advertisement on the radio (not on phone or laptop but digital radio as a separate device). The village was mentioned as a touristic location. Still it can be a coincidence but it happened to often. I don't mind but it's strange sometimes. Reading my thoughts is technically impossible 🙅
So happy to see another normal guy be really into plants and cultivation. I grow all kinds of plants - about 35 - in my apartment and am always on the lookout for new ones. I came past this video because I just planted an avocado seed in soil yesterday and decided to see what other people have done to get it to grow. Thanks! :-)
Thank you. Just watched this video with my 5 year old daughter. She's been set a home schooling science project to plant a seed and track it's progress. We have an avocado seed and this was a great video to show us how to get started plus what it should look like so we know its growing healthily. It was also lovely to see how pleased you were about 500 subscribers and now at over 200k 👏
I have one peeled seed which is in the water for more than a week and nothing. I also have one which is not peeled and the roots are coming out, even though I placed it in the water about 4 days ago. Somehow peeling the seed is not working for me

No one: Me: (throws an avocado seed somewhere outside) *Months later* Avocado tree grows. And now it's a big tree. I didn't do anything to make it grow but somehow, it did. I love avocados. It's like a blessing. I also randomly thrown a papaya seed and a soursop seed somewhere and guess what? It grown into a tree and now it bears me fruits 😋

I have revisited you to try doing a new avocado plant. I am currently in progress with my second attempt at growing an avocado plant. I had to verify the seed is pointing the correct direction from your video and the toothpicks are oriented properly. My previous plant four years ago lived for a full year - February to February.
3 years later I've found this video after our Avocado seeds weren't taking off! I can see why now! What a lovely channel. Subscribed! You've got a few more than the 500 subscribers that you had when this video came out. Best of luck.
Fantastic, thank you so much. Clear and concise steps with out any unnecessary waffle. I have found this most helpful. I look forward to watching your other videos. Thanks again.
@@jitterbug5180 Oh- it's like the best plant in my entire house right now. it's 36 inches tall- above the dirt- I'm not lying. All that growth in one year, during a freakin pandemic, indoors, and with dangerous cats about! It has ten leaves, the larger ones measuring about 8 inches long. I live in CT, and for this plant to make it through my winter is amazing. I've never had such success when starting something from seed. I'm so pleased with this plant!
Hello from Australia I followed your instructions to the tea last year to grow an avocado seed and fast forward to today it is growing beautifully in my dad's garden. I grew it for him as he is an avid gardener so thankyou for your very in depth explanations.
😍 this is lowkey inspiring me to plant avocado in Norway 😂 There is one banana tree that someone manages to plant inside the aquarium 🌱 Nice video, thanks for sharing!
I just wanted to say THANKS SO MUCH! I have lived a few places in the U.S. and currently reside in North Alabama. Twenty years and probably 100 seeds have yielded no results at all with avacados. I now have 3 tiny sprouts going in mason jars in my kitchen window after following the steps in your video. I am elated! I'll watch your transplanting video soon and hopefully I'll have awesome results there too. You are pleasant and cheerful and your love for what you do is contagious. Looking forward to more of your excellent information........
I'm real late to the party, but I had to Thank You for teaching me! You're video is super cool, not fussy or verbose! You're a natural in front of the camera! Well, I'm all subscribed and am looking forward to watching all your vids! 👇👏👇🌟
Thank you for sharing this vid. I decided to follow your instructions... and now 10wks later my 2 avocados have sprouted and the leaves are starting to grow. 👍🥑❤
Maybe it depends where you live but I’ve grown them by just popping it straight into soil after opening avocado and I have 4 growing. They sprouted within a few weeks are doing great so far.
How the avocado 🥑 plant looked at different stages of its growth was really interesting in helpful. The ones I’ve tried to grow before rotted but I didn’t know to change the water and be alert to remove algae.
Guitarist's have FANTASTIC Nails on 1 hand for Fingerpicking Bro & you should know this as your profile pic looks like you are a singer.....oh thats right....... lead singers only notice themselves ;)
Jimmy Mac if you watch his hands you can clearly tell he is right handed. By the way he uses a knife and he uses his right hand to place the tooth picks.
I watched this video a year ago and my avocado seed now has a sprout that’s 1m tall! Thank you!! It’s still in water because it seems to just keep growing :)
Chezzzie hi :) Did you put your avocado seed on the direct sunlight or? My avo is on a window but it doesnt have direct sunlight on it. So I don’t know should I put it on a window with more light? :)
Barbara Brajković I put mine in direct sunlight! Moved it around a few times but sunlight helps I think! And making sure the waters not green :) good luck!
❤️When you live in an apartment and don’t have a piece of land :( I know it won’t really give me fruit,but hey it’s quarantine and I’m bored so let’s take care of a plant!❤️ As requested,here are some updates! 🌱 3 Month update: It’s a tiny plant now! 🥑🌱 It has 2 tall stalks (if that’s what you call it,the stem part) with 3 leaves each & some tiny leaves,stalks & roots are growing! The tallest stalk is 6 inches,biggest leaf is 1.5 inches 💕
What an AWESOME dude you are! I've searched and watched SO MANY videos (ALL American) and yours is by far the best. I've just subscribed and checked out your other videos and I can't believe you've posted most of what I'm growing too. This is so brilliant. Thank you. Have you done one hat on transplanting the avocado tree? One of mine is slowly turning yellow/brown. Cheers Gail
I will be doing a transplant video soon but I have a virus on my computer so can't really edit any videos right now. They to need to be transplanted slowly by adding small amounts of soil each day. If transplanted straight into soil it could go into shock and die
Something I would tell someone growing an avocado seedling is you need a lot of patience. Mine took almost 3 months from when it cracked open till it sprouted its stem!
Thank you so much for this strategy, it works perfectly! I have one question though. I did two of these and the both opened up, but i noticed one of them opened upside down and since it had to grow, I need to move the toothpicks. Will the growth of the seed be affected if remove the toothpicks and put them right side up?
I started one not too long ago, and it lost some of its first leaves when I first transplanted it. I see from the comments below that I need to start two more :) Thanks for sharing your experience/knowledge.
Hi great videos, you've actually helped me grow my first avocado plant. It seems to be going well. But do you have any advice for fungus gnats larvae etc? What can I use to get rid if them? Thank you!
Yeah getting excited now…. It’s around day 11 and the seeds are starting to split…. this has always been something I wanted to try and finally got 6 seeds on the go….wish me luck and I love your videos. The one you made on roses helped me save the rose my grandson bought his mum some years ago… and all the cures were organic and logic..the rose is still thriving
I’m in Wisconsin too! I haven’t started the process yet, however, I’m wondering if the best place to keep my plant would be inside? I’ve always been under the impression it’s impossible to grow an avocado plant in the Midwest.
I’m sure you can grow one inside!! As long as it gets enough sun I’m sure it will do great!! Just a side note tho: I once kept a seed out in extreme heat and the seed actually “burned”.... the root shriveled up and I had to start all over again:(
I found this video after searching on how to grow an Avocado from seed, you thanked your 500 followers at the time of posting 4 years ago. wow your channel has grown well {no pun} thanks for video 👍🏻
Thank you. Very informative. I can tell you are left handed and play the guitar. I would like to here you play. Are you playing the intro? I bet you've listened to Michael Hedges. Bravo!
The issue with placing the toothpick in the lines is when the root starts growing it will split the pit on those lines. Then the toothpick will not be able to support the seed. Just pull out the toothpick and move it to a spot with no lines.
Listen to me everybody the avocado seed soon as you’re finished eating your avocado get the seed clean it up put it in the dirt of a big pot no cutting no waiting no nothing, my tree is 3 foot high. Lesson of the day thank you. 😂👍
Sue Siino that’s what I did! Just stuck it in the dirt. It’s 5 years old now. Without human intervention, trees will naturally propagate by dropping fruit to the ground and seeds taking root. 🤷🏻♀️
@@DesertDog2 did you cover the seed fully with earth or let it stick out above the earth for a bit? I'd like to try growing an avocado plant but the whole fussing around with the water at first seems a bit elaborated.
@@TheFeldhamster it doesn't really matter - just stick it into soil and keep it reasonably moist. It may take time (up to like 2-3 months, usually way less) but it will grow.
One way that might help keep algae from growing on the seed or in the water is to use 1% hydrogen peroxide in the water which helps the plant grow too.
waaah.. today i just taste my first avocado ...it taste hell except its health benefits. i am thinking of throwing the seed but i will try to harvest and let u know thanks for this video
Try this. Eat a bite of banana, and also a bite of avocado! These two are made for one another! The texture is nummy and it tastes awesome (sometimes this is my dessert)! It might help you learn to love avocados! Good luck and stay healthy!😉🍀
This is proof I’ll watch anything on UA-cam

@@melanielloyd812what soil you use?
“Carefully use the knife or a spoon to take out a seed” my mom: hits the seed with a big kitchen knife to take it out .-.
That's how most people take it out (and it's the most fun way to do it) but if you want to use the seed you don't want to do that.

You can use the Spoon instead of Knife....so less chance to damage the seed.

My avocado seed is my quarantine buddy. My cat bit one of the leaves early on, when it was only the size of my pinky nail, and it is still hanging on.
Any update on your seed now?☺️
@@jitterbug5180 Oh- it's like the best plant in my entire house right now. it's 36 inches tall- above the dirt- I'm not lying. All that growth in one year, during a freakin pandemic, indoors, and with dangerous cats about! It has ten leaves, the larger ones measuring about 8 inches long. I live in CT, and for this plant to make it through my winter is amazing. I've never had such success when starting something from seed. I'm so pleased with this plant!
My sister always said to look for guys who know how to take care of plants cause they'll know how to take care of you. #nurturenature
That's beautiful ❤️
Hello from Australia
I followed your instructions to the tea last year to grow an avocado seed and fast forward to today it is growing beautifully in my dad's garden. I grew it for him as he is an avid gardener so thankyou for your very in depth explanations.
😍 this is lowkey inspiring me to plant avocado in Norway 😂 There is one banana tree that someone manages to plant inside the aquarium 🌱 Nice video, thanks for sharing!
I just wanted to say THANKS SO MUCH! I have lived a few places in the U.S. and currently reside in North Alabama. Twenty years and probably 100 seeds have yielded no results at all with avacados. I now have 3 tiny sprouts going in mason jars in my kitchen window after following the steps in your video. I am elated! I'll watch your transplanting video soon and hopefully I'll have awesome results there too. You are pleasant and cheerful and your love for what you do is contagious. Looking forward to more of your excellent information........
You're welcome! That's so good to hear! I will be doing a transplant video soon :)
he is great : )

you don't have a green thumb
Thank you for putting the effort and time to help everyone learn how to grow plants
I'm real late to the party, but I had to Thank You for teaching me! You're video is super cool, not fussy or verbose! You're a natural in front of the camera! Well, I'm all subscribed and am looking forward to watching all your vids!
👇👏👇🌟
Quit a time line in 8 min. Thank you for taking the time my friend.
Thank you for sharing this vid. I decided to follow your instructions... and now 10wks later my 2 avocados have sprouted and the leaves are starting to grow. 👍🥑❤
Maybe it depends where you live but I’ve grown them by just popping it straight into soil after opening avocado and I have 4 growing. They sprouted within a few weeks are doing great so far.
I appreciate the details of your explanations. Thank you!
You're welcome :)
This vid inspired me to try, i had my avocado seed in water for over a year, and i have now planted it:)
Yay I just started my avocado seedling journey :)
Awesome! Keep it up :)
Me too
How’s it going
Left hand guitar player?
YEP! :D
Project Diaries how did you learn, on a left handed guitar or strings upside down? I have a leftie who wants to learn. :)
Yeah
Mercedes Wood im one. i just get my strings inverted. :)
Gate bear how did u know
Thank you, after years of trying, I finally find out about the fault lines 😊👍
How the avocado 🥑 plant looked at different stages of its growth was really interesting in helpful. The ones I’ve tried to grow before rotted but I didn’t know to change the water and be alert to remove algae.
I was looking for this exact video! Thank you, so helpful
Used this method and it worked, I gave the tree to my grandma though ♥️
Thank you!
thank you, I've been holding on to my seeds for a reason.. And wondered how to grow them.
Leave this man and his nails alone they are clean and well kept and he has nice hands, shut up
Guitarist's have FANTASTIC Nails on 1 hand for Fingerpicking Bro & you should know this as your profile pic looks like you are a singer.....oh thats right....... lead singers only notice themselves ;)
People in my uni leave their nails like that to snort coke.
@@AutumnAfox Ever heard of Left handed guitar players???? Duh
Lol 😝
Jimmy Mac if you watch his hands you can clearly tell he is right handed. By the way he uses a knife and he uses his right hand to place the tooth picks.
Thanks for sharing the easiest way of growing Avacado 👍
I watched this video a year ago and my avocado seed now has a sprout that’s 1m tall! Thank you!! It’s still in water because it seems to just keep growing :)
Chezzzie hi :)
Did you put your avocado seed on the direct sunlight or?
My avo is on a window but it doesnt have direct sunlight on it. So I don’t know should I put it on a window with more light? :)
Barbara Brajković I put mine in direct sunlight! Moved it around a few times but sunlight helps I think! And making sure the waters not green :) good luck!
My avocado start growing! Thx for the video!
You're welcome :)
Just watch this programme and it was so good as to hear what you could do with so many seeds to plant and grown .Thank you.

Kitchen roll: a not so obvious overused tissue
I love how informative this was , I also like your soothing voice
Love you small space , that means the world to you 🎊
❤️When you live in an apartment and don’t have a piece of land :( I know it won’t really give me fruit,but hey it’s quarantine and I’m bored so let’s take care of a plant!❤️
As requested,here are some updates!
🌱 3 Month update: It’s a tiny plant now! 🥑🌱 It has 2 tall stalks (if that’s what you call it,the stem part) with 3 leaves each & some tiny leaves,stalks & roots are growing! The tallest stalk is 6 inches,biggest leaf is 1.5 inches 💕
Do you have a balcony? Get some stone bricks and set it in a square in the corner of the balcony. Then fill that square with dirt
Highly Rounded No :(
I heard that adding fertilizer on top of the soil will help the tree grow fruit/avocados.
Can you update us on your avo tree?
Lily shlafer Sure!
What an AWESOME dude you are! I've searched and watched SO MANY videos (ALL American) and yours is by far the best. I've just subscribed and checked out your other videos and I can't believe you've posted most of what I'm growing too. This is so brilliant. Thank you. Have you done one hat on transplanting the avocado tree? One of mine is slowly turning yellow/brown. Cheers Gail
I will be doing a transplant video soon but I have a virus on my computer so can't really edit any videos right now. They to need to be transplanted slowly by adding small amounts of soil each day. If transplanted straight into soil it could go into shock and die
This channel has been a great find. Not only valuable information, but presented in such a kind and positive manner. Well done!
Something I would tell someone growing an avocado seedling is you need a lot of patience. Mine took almost 3 months from when it cracked open till it sprouted its stem!
My seed has been in water for almost 2 weeks and it's doing nothing. This comment reassures me not to give up on it 🙂
Thank you so much for this strategy, it works perfectly! I have one question though. I did two of these and the both opened up, but i noticed one of them opened upside down and since it had to grow, I need to move the toothpicks. Will the growth of the seed be affected if remove the toothpicks and put them right side up?
Just started mine a few days ago I’ll update y’all :) , ty for the video wanted to make sure I was doing it right
I started one not too long ago, and it lost some of its first leaves when I first transplanted it. I see from the comments below that I need to start two more :) Thanks for sharing your experience/knowledge.
Keep me posted on your progress using the facebook group link in the description :)
Hi great videos, you've actually helped me grow my first avocado plant. It seems to be going well. But do you have any advice for fungus gnats larvae etc? What can I use to get rid if them? Thank you!
Yeah getting excited now…. It’s around day 11 and the seeds are starting to split…. this has always been something I wanted to try and finally got 6 seeds on the go….wish me luck and I love your videos. The one you made on roses helped me save the rose my grandson bought his mum some years ago… and all the cures were organic and logic..the rose is still thriving
I have a question, I just started this yesterday and i was wondering when winter begins, where should I keep it and how should I take care of it
I have shelf a few feet away from a window. My seed still gets some sun but stays warm! (This is super late lol)
I’m in Wisconsin too! I haven’t started the process yet, however, I’m wondering if the best place to keep my plant would be inside? I’ve always been under the impression it’s impossible to grow an avocado plant in the Midwest.
I’m sure you can grow one inside!! As long as it gets enough sun I’m sure it will do great!! Just a side note tho: I once kept a seed out in extreme heat and the seed actually “burned”.... the root shriveled up and I had to start all over again:(
This the best helping video I've seen so far thanks I've subbed the video is really helpful
You're welcome. Thanks for the Sub :)

Man what a handsome farmer . For some reason only roots will grow but nothing on the top..... that was a nice one he got going !
He grew his thumb nail just for the project. Dedication!
Some heavy duty coke nails he has for sure.
The Best Stooge or a green thumb!
he might play guitar with his left hand and not like using a guitar pic
Mine was soaking in the water for 4 months when it started to sprout. 4 months, really!
I found this video after searching on how to grow an Avocado from seed, you thanked your 500 followers at the time of posting 4 years ago. wow your channel has grown well {no pun} thanks for video 👍🏻
Thank you. Very informative. I can tell you are left handed and play the guitar. I would like to here you play. Are you playing the intro? I bet you've listened to Michael Hedges. Bravo!
Indeed I did. I will check him out when I have time :)
Project Diaries help
Project Diaries I accidentally put my toothpicks through the lines is it ruined
The issue with placing the toothpick in the lines is when the root starts growing it will split the pit on those lines. Then the toothpick will not be able to support the seed. Just pull out the toothpick and move it to a spot with no lines.
You need two avocado trees planted right next to each other for it to give fruit
Two trees may or may not be necessary depending on the variety of the avocado and your location.
Why
That makes zero sense.
I had one tree and it did well and bear fruit.
Thanks Project Diairy - straight & to the point
I've tried many times over the last 3 years same result the seed gets to the point that it cracks and goes no further?
Listen to me everybody the avocado seed soon as you’re finished eating your avocado get the seed clean it up put it in the dirt of a big pot no cutting no waiting no nothing, my tree is 3 foot high. Lesson of the day thank you. 😂👍
Sue Siino that’s what I did! Just stuck it in the dirt. It’s 5 years old now. Without human intervention, trees will naturally propagate by dropping fruit to the ground and seeds taking root. 🤷🏻♀️
@@DesertDog2 did you cover the seed fully with earth or let it stick out above the earth for a bit? I'd like to try growing an avocado plant but the whole fussing around with the water at first seems a bit elaborated.
@@TheFeldhamster it doesn't really matter - just stick it into soil and keep it reasonably moist. It may take time (up to like 2-3 months, usually way less) but it will grow.
Also use the leaves for tea when they season out and dry.
Push the avocado seed straight down in the ground covered with dirt so you don’t see it. That’s it!!!
Thanks for sharing!!
I just did a video to show mine and it's really big now!! I also learn the mistake I did when it start to grow.
One way that might help keep algae from growing on the seed or in the water is to use 1% hydrogen peroxide in the water which helps the plant grow too.
waaah.. today i just taste my first avocado ...it taste hell except its health benefits.
i am thinking of throwing the seed but i will try to harvest and let u know thanks for this video
Try this. Eat a bite of banana, and also a bite of avocado! These two are made for one another! The texture is nummy and it tastes awesome (sometimes this is my dessert)! It might help you learn to love avocados! Good luck and stay healthy!😉🍀
Who doesn't like avocados? Where you from another planet?
@@CALI-ll7iv ...not everyone has grown up with avocados, in their lunch bag!!
No need to be condescending or rude!! When did you begin eating them??
@@MrLyndarenaud In California they are everywhere. I asked because who doesn't like them? 😁
@@CALI-ll7iv ....
So sorry,Cali....
