Wow, if only I had known some seeds can take months to crack. I've given up on so many thinking they were duds. Thanks for the video. I've got two cracking now. I'm excited.
Hello thankyou so much for your video.i just follow ur steps and my avocado wow really looks so good and my avocado plants is really big only 7months..thats the best way to plants the Avocado and they really love water.😊
Thank you for this video…I was also having trouble with the tooth pick method and was about to give up…tried the method in your video; now I have four avocado plants that are looking good... I wish that I would’ve planted them in bigger pots…I used a small 4” pot…really wasn’t expecting this method to work…it worked!!!...thanks again.
57 smothers I did it the hard way also, with the toothpicks. It did turn into a plant but died shortly thereafter. It took a lot of patience that I don't have. They are pretty when it works though. I sure do this though if I lived in the country
Thank you so much for this simple, straight to the point tutorial. No faffing about with tooth picks and peeling etc etc. Just soak in water til they crack and plant.
Good Day Joe!! This has got to be the BEST Avocado seed growing video I have seen to date, and i have seen quite a lot!! The cleanliness is so important, and i really like the way that you stress the importance. No one else even mentions it. Your results are awesome. No infestation or diseases of any kind, that is great!! Thanx for the video and all the educational information. SuperSniperSal The GUNNY USMC Disabled Vet
@@avocadojoe6739 You are very welcome, and i did subscribe. Would like to see what you have to say about Sushi. I am a Sushi Fanatic.

I've read dozens of instructions and had varying, mostly disappointing success. Your video is very clear and uncomplicated. I will give it a go. Keep up the good work.
Mine stone was lazy... It took months for that rascal to eventually germinate. And when it did, I accidentally dropped it and the shoot broke away. So, I am starting again from the beginning - but it is spring and I am full of hope. Thanks for the video!
@@bigmack2262 I was just curious where you heard they had to be grafted from already fruit yielding trees before they will produce fruit. If that is true then people don't need to waste their time with seeds unless they have a tree to graft it to right?
2020 Just saw your video, I have thrown mine in water. I thought what the hell! anyhow having had unsuccessful attempts with the toothpick method, thought maybe rolling around in water Why Not? Near the window, but not in direct sunlight so I almost got it right, little shoots on the pointy end. Seeing your video has made my day. I shall plant them now. Thanks. So glad I found you.
I got an avocado seed i dubbed her Avi The Avocado I made a new decorated pot just for her. My grandma (thatknows lots about plants) made a speacal mix of dirt just for her! She only gets fresh rain water and i placed her infront of the window for sunlight and warmth! I love Avi
Thank you Avo Joe 🥑🥑🥑 1) excellent instructions 2) being patient like nature itself however watch this on 1.75 or 2x speed is best 3) I don’t care for this type of music. Oh well. 4) 2 avocado trees needed to grow close by to pollinate. 5) keep up the green thumb work!
great video and easy for bulk sowing newbie haha :) Just wondering how do you judge is time to plant them in the soil pls? I see you sow five in the pot and left the rest in the glass jar still? Thanks very much in advance :)
Great details on how to get the seed started but what about after it sprouts? You mention it loves lots of water, and is very delicate but do we just give it lots of sunlight and water. I see you’re spraying the leaves as well. Any details on that?
I wait till i can see the white nib through the crack, but you can pot them now, just remember it takes a while between cracking and sprouting so dont give up, but when they sprout they grow fast. The new method is good , ive got 6 successful plants from 6 cracked seeds. Update vid soon.
Hi @AvocadoJoe your method works great I got 4 plants getting tall like almost 2-16 oz water bottles stacked on top of one another tall. When should we transplant out of original pot, thanks
Give them away when they are strong enough . The seeds u see in the vid could be over 1 month accumulation , its just that i put them in a jar instead of the bin 👍
hello i also have an avocado that has 2 or more stems grow in a seed. is it possible to separate the stem and plant it to another pot? or do i have to cut the smaller stems because i plan to graft the avocado when it is bigger.
I grew an avocado once and a sweet potato. Both were lovely. But I kept my avocado seed in water with toothpicks on both sides of the seed to keep the tip above water. It grew to be quite large.
The plant wont care. Give them the tap water, it will be fine. Humans are spoiled wimps, we need all kinds of purified water, food etc. Your plants dont care.
@@LoveDogs___3 he is not selling anything. Why would you say this? He produced a FREE how to video, that you apparently watched and took whatever was useful to you, without paying a cent. So what if he makes money on this or something else? Do you work for free? I know I don't!
One question will it hurt the leaves if you leave it directly in the sun when you put it outside. I sometimes do that and my plants that were exposed die or lose all of there color? thank you for the video
I've learned that these indoor seedlings we sprout should not be put in direct sunlight. They haven't conditioned themselves to it. You are supposed to put them in the shade for some time and start conditioning them slowly so they can better accustom themselves to the harsh sunlight. I'm not sure about the time frame or climate conditions for any areas, but maybe google...."Conditioning indoor seedlings to outdoor sun". I'm thinking that may get you some necessary info. I do what you do. I think maybe some real sunshine will help and it just shocks the plants and burns the tiny leaves. It's super disappointing! Good luck! I'm in Vegas so it's already an issue with the sun for already established plants.
It varies heaps from seed to seed the trick is monitor the appearance of the seed if it still looks good and green/healthy keep patient. I planted 4 seeds in 1 large pot, 1 germinated in weeks other in 1-2months same type avocado
It takes a while from cracking to sprouting so dont give up , as long as you are watering it 2-3 times a week it will be growing slowly. Once it sprouts it will grow fast.
Not the best way to do it but I did get an idea from it. From someone that eats one a day, it would be a great way to save them until you are able to plant them. Or if someone makes ALOT of guac!! Alot of people just grow them for house plants, so that would be helpful as I was saying!!!👍
The cracked ones you can plant. When I saw them cracked it had a little bit of roots coming out already. I burried the seeds half way with soil in a plastic planter pot and I checked on them two weeks ago seems it has grown a foot already. I think I planted it in the pot on June. But it took a while for them to crack but with a little patience the time will fly by fast. 😊😊😊😊 Happy planting.
Thanks for this. Trying to grow multiple seeds to better my odds was taking a lot of room with the toothpick method. I can also see how this my simulate the more natural way the seed grow, if their was a rainy season and the ground was swampy or boggy but drain a bit in later seasons. Please post more videos. :) I want to experiment with growing it with a beta fish or gold fish due to my region and ants. Do you know any one who has aqua farmed or hydroponically grown avocado trees?
I'm new to avacado plants. My son knocked down my cup of water n the pit split in half so I stuck it back together with toothpicks and now it has sprouted in total 1 month time. I'll try directly in soil next.
Fuerte sprouts easily & quickly. Its seed is already split open once the fruit ripens. However The two halves of Hass seeds are tightly packed. They take long time to split. In fact you will find that the roots emerge much earlier even before there any sign of a shoot emerging OR the the tow parts start splitting. It is suggested that the top 1/4th of the seed be sliced off so as to allow the shoot to emerge earlier. I have tried this. It works. There is no damage to the seed in doing so. Try it.
This is something I've come across with the Hass seeds as well. They have taken almost 2 months to show any signs and only the roots are starting to come out. No sign of a shoot anywhere in sight.
I believe so. I have one plant already. I waited to till I saw a decent root start to sprout before I put him in soil. Mine doesn't look as happy as his. I heard they grow better when there's more than one, so I'm trying this guy's technique for my second plant.
Mine has cracked in a week! Was it too fast? I would like to keep it in the water for a few more days so that I can be sure and see the nib. Would that be ok or am I going to kill it? I tried before and it didn’t crack even after a month (it was huge, huge one) so I gave up and this one cracked within a week so now I am confused! Any suggestions please?
Jabin Chowdhury i would leave for another week or so. Sprouting time could take 2 months so be patient , dont forget to water the pot around 4 times a week . GL
I’m trying the toothpick method right now and my seed has been sitting in water for about a month and a half and it has split quite a bit but I don’t see anything coming out of it is there something I’m doing wrong or does it take a while for the plant to come up
I've noticed if the avacado is really ripe (even starting to rot) it process is faster. Some are already cracked and have 2 or 3 roots growing in the fruit
Wow, if only I had known some seeds can take months to crack. I've given up on so many thinking they were duds. Thanks for the video. I've got two cracking now. I'm excited.
The bigger they are, the longer they take to crack.
Always soak them and then peel that brown skin off..
How are they now
Did you peel the skin of the seed?
I did the same..tossed...thought i killed them..
How funny. I clicked thumbs up at the same exact moment of the "pop" at the end. Beautiful plants!
This was a great one. I followed your process and one of my seeds cracked within 4 days. :)
Hello thankyou so much for your video.i just follow ur steps and my avocado wow really looks so good and my avocado plants is really big only 7months..thats the best way to plants the Avocado and they really love water.😊
Thank you so much! I've had minimal luck, but I also was told that most would not grow, so I was happy when one did. Love that you name them!!
mine is now 13yrs old it has started to blosoomm
Phillip Oketch
awww lucky you
🥰🥰It's so exciting
What climate do you live in? Xx
13 years!??? That's a LONG time!
No wonder why avocados are so expensive, 13 years to blossom 😬
The most-forbidden documentary in history:
“Europa The Last Battle” at archive-dot-org
You must eat a lot of avocadoes 🌿
Nope. If you don't graft them you will eat only after 8 -20 years if you're lucky! It's about every fruit planted from seed.
Djakonda D How do you graft them?
@@snrnsjd i think they mean from the amount of spare seeds

Did u peel off the avo stone ??
BEST starter video I have seen. Tired of the toothpick method, I am headed to the sink, RIGHT NOW!!!!!
57 smothers
I did it the hard way also, with the toothpicks. It did turn into a plant but died shortly thereafter. It took a lot of patience that I don't have. They are pretty when it works though. I sure do this though if I lived in the country
Once your bored of this method just skip step 1 and put straight in soil that’s actually nature’s way.
Me too
lol I was doing the toothpick method and gave up after I saw this vid. I took the toothpicks out and just dunked it in water lol
Dice Flawless lol just put it in soil

Very nice video-simple, straightforward-You love plants! (they love you back)
Great tip. I've grown Avocados before, buy dumping the seeds in the compost pile, but I like your method. Thanks for sharing. I'm a new subscriber.
I had no idea that is how to do it. I tried multiple times, and was never successful. Giving this method a try. Thank you 😊
I liked the MR. Bean sun toy
This was the best way thank you ! I was waiting months for seeds to grow ! Did this and bam now I have to many small trees haha
Awe Georgio is so cute!
Mine stone was lazy... It took months for that rascal to eventually germinate. And when it did, I accidentally dropped it and the shoot broke away. So, I am starting again from the beginning - but it is spring and I am full of hope. Thanks for the video!
Been there done that . Try growing 3 or 4 at the same time to allow for damages
Genius, except the genuinely terrifying music: I'm 💯% certain that this is what Teletubbies listen to when going on a killing spree.

Inedible fruit if not grafted with the branch of a tree with edible fruit.
@@bigmack2262 And where did the tree with edible fruit come from? I don't think they have to be grafted to produce edible fruit.

Best demo yet ! Thanks !!
Beautiful and healthy avocado plant! Love this!
Just wanted to know how is junior doing 🥑🌱 and his friends 💚💛

Do you have any mature trees that have produced fruit? We'd love to see them if so!🥑🍃

This is a great video! Will definitely try it this way! :)
very very good video. thanks avocado joe!
My mom just put avocado stone into ground an now we have avocado plant xD She didn't even care about it xd
That's good to know bc my dad just planted the stones without peeling them first or doing any preparation
Some successful plants just grow on their own without too much attention. And that's a happy story.
For sure , if you live in a warm country you can do that 👍
@@avocadojoe6739 Poland, Middle Europe 😀 she was just lucky as usually I guess xD
Did she peel the avo stone?
Thank you Avo Joe 🥑🥑🥑
1) excellent instructions
2) being patient like nature itself however watch this on 1.75 or 2x speed is best
3) I don’t care for this type of music. Oh well.
4) 2 avocado trees needed to grow close by to pollinate.
5) keep up the green thumb work!
As to #4...Yes, I have always been told they have to be a male and a female.

I've grown about 10 avocado trees and none have had that many leaves so young
Great video! Just wondering how much and how often to water once you pot them?
Thx. Once every 2 days
I don't even like avocados and I watched this whole video. 😜🥑
Glanced at the 'length'.....

Best how to video !! Thanks for posting up
Is a nice experiment, I have one seed on water only, it is almost five months and grows good.
That is nice to see all the beautiful process but i just throw then in the patio let the time pass and where they go that is where they will grow.

Mines finally cracked yup it's been about a month now..i almost gave up, I'm glad i didn't ☺ im going yo get the pot and soil now.
How's it been?
It's been ok...i think it's been 2 weeks now and nothing has sprouted. Im going to keep waiting but I thought maybe by now something would've grown.
It varies heaps from seed to seed the trick is monitor the appearance of the seed if it still looks good and green/healthy keep patient. I planted 4 seeds in 1 large pot, 1 germinated in weeks other in 1-2months same type avocado

I named mine "Avo". Ya know, as in Avocado. She's a late bloomer. Took 3 months to sprout her stem but now she's growing like a weed!
Hi can you please tell me why my advacado has slime round it even when change water 3 or 4 week but it has root and open in middle
Maybe it's ready to be planted?
Not the best way to do it but I did get an idea from it. From someone that eats one a day, it would be a great way to save them until you are able to plant them. Or if someone makes ALOT of guac!!
Alot of people just grow them for house plants, so that would be helpful as I was saying!!!👍
Hi Joe. How long does it take before growing avocadoes? I have been waiting for 5years and still waiting.
I watched this video two days ago and did this technique w a huge avocado seeds. Two days later and it cracked!!! Wish me luck
What did you spray the leaves with in the end?
Okay, I will try this method. How long will it take the tree to produce new fruit?
10-15 years. Not kidding.
I love that you name the little trees.
Simple and informative video!
Great video!
It worked!! Wish i could post a pic
How long from planting should you expect to see fruit production?
I think it takes at least 5 years, but if you graft it you can see fruits within couple years or less
Some say 4 to seven years up to ten 😅🤷🏽♀️
4 years only if you're grafted it and you know how to take care of it. If you don't you can wait 8, 10 ,20 or more years .
So many unanswered questions! The cracked ones, do you plant those or toss them? When do you plant them? Direct sunlight?
The cracked ones you can plant. When I saw them cracked it had a little bit of roots coming out already. I burried the seeds half way with soil in a plastic planter pot and I checked on them two weeks ago seems it has grown a foot already. I think I planted it in the pot on June. But it took a while for them to crack but with a little patience the time will fly by fast. 😊😊😊😊 Happy planting.
I’m in love with this video
Can you do it in cold water?
Omg. Your video is so cute. You named them tooo 😊🎈
What type of water do you use once they are in the dirt? Tap, spring, purified, etc.
Spring
I heard they shouldn't be in light...which one is it? Can they grow in the cold/heat?
Its a tropical tree so no cold weather and lots of sun

My stepfather grows avocados the same way. They’re a lot of work. My tree is going on two years now.
Do you water it in the soil or on the plany
When i sprayed my leaves with house water it started to ruin them, does that mean only rain water and distilled water can be sprayed on the leaves?
I use spring water , thx
