My 2 avocado trees, that I grew from seed died after a year. They were healthy, then suddenly they weren’t . I wish I watched this video earlier. I didn’t know about the not fertilising and salt content in the water. I might have another attempt !
I 'm sure those two avocados didn't die in vain, good luck with the new challenge 🙂
I have a 12 year old avacado tree that I bring in each winter. It’s about 10 feet tall. I would suggest pruning your tree just above the bottom 3-4 leaves. It will seem drastic… however your tree is way too tall and skinny. When you cut the top of the tree, it will signal that the tree needs to grow a thicker trunk, and most importantly branches. Don’t wait much longer to do this. I start pruning my trees after just a year. Sometimes less. Great video!
Hi my friend, many thanks and great news that your 12 years old avocado is doing well. Our of curiosity, has it ever given flowers? BTW, my avocado tree is now 2 years older than in the video and it has grown a sound trunk. See yourself in the latest update. here ua-cam.com/video/94JE7ayF0Q0/v-deo.html
I WATCHED YOUR VIDEO AND I THANK YOU. I HAVE A GRAFTED AVOCADO TREE OR YOUNGLING ABOUT TWO FEET TALL NOW. I'VE HAD IT TWO SEASONS NOW BUT HAD TO BRING IN FOR WINTER. I BELIEVE I NEED TO RE-POT WITH FRESH SOIL THANKS.🇺🇸✌️❤️👍
Glad I could help! I hope it will only improve from now on! ❤️👍
Your tips are always so helpful! Thank you very much! 😃😃🌱🌴
Many thanks for your tipo! You saved my avocado! 😊
Great tips. Thank you.
Great explanation
As soon as I get home from work, I will do exactly what you just said thank you very much
Thank you!
Thank you 👍
Thank you for sharing.❤
Thxs needed this
Thank you I will try your advice
Perfect. I have been fertilizing! Thanks!
Glad I could help! 😁👍
Tank you for the video. It was very helpfull for my avocado tree
So nice of you! Does this mean that you managed to save it? I'm so happy for you and your tree, really! ☺️
Thank you for this wonderfully clear and helpful set of suggestions. I'm going to try re-potting my suffering avocado.
You are very welcome, I hope it works. Good luck! 🤞🏼💚
Very helpful, thank you!
Happy it was helpful!
Great information, thank you very much!
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful thank you!
you're welcome 💪
Thank you for the information
So nice of you ❤️
This is exactly what happened to my avacado tree. I was using well water with high salt content during an Alberta winter where the air is super dry. I think it is finally coming back to life
Good to hear that is coming back to life! Salt and lack of humidity are our main enemy unfortunately 💪🏼 we will win 🤙🏼
Thank you so much for the info, I was about to get nervous about losing my plant.
Glad I could help 😁👍
Thank you
You are welcome 🙏🏻
Thank you so much!
Glad it helped! 😀
Thank you so much this video came at the right time my avocado tree was about to die and I was worried
Hi, it will take some time before it is back to normal. Mine took 3/4 weeks after changing the pot and keeping it outdoor. Good luck and let me know how it goes.
You have solved my problem
You are welcome 😀
Thank you for the pointers
I hope they help you ❤️👍
@@howtogrowfromseed - so my avocado plant is in a home pot, which I pruned and new branches with leaves are growing however few top. Leaves are turning grey and withering eventually. I realized its due to overwatering and immense sunlight on them.. So adjusting these now on
Gracias senor
de nada hombre! 👍
Thanks for your video. I know know that I have over fertilized my tree. I plan to hold off for 6 to 12 months or when my tree gets better.
Sounds great!
I have a bunch of indoor avocados ranging from 2 1/2 to fresh seedlings and i agree with all of this. Avocados are super picky trees, especially since I live in zone 6 which is not ideal for avocados 😂. Once I take my avocados outside in late spring they are super happy!
They are indeed, but at least once you get them you know how to treat them 😃
@@howtogrowfromseed for sure!! 😀
Thanks for the tips. Soil at the bottom of the bottom of the pot seems to be pretty wet plus we're watering with tap water. I've been collecting rainwater so I may pull the plant, rinse the roots, repot in older soil (which may lack fertilizer) and water with rainwater. We only have a few leaves left so anything is worth a try.
You captured the core of the problem and the most efficient solutions. How old is your tree, if it is younger than 3 years old I would wait at least the fourth year to apply fertilizer. Good lukc and let me know how it goes.
@@howtogrowfromseed I'd guess this tree is 18 months old and just a tiny bit shorter than yours. Has a few newer shoots on the top. Will watch to see how they progress over the next couple of weeks.
Thank you very much. I have many baby trees and they suddenly had the leaves dying off. I had switched from purified water to tspwater, which has chlorine and fluoride (and caustic soda). I had also fertilized the young trees. I know better now, hopefully the trees will recover!
I'm sure it will go better as you get experience from growing it. Good luck ✌️
Will the plant make back again leaves also on the long naked stick, or it just make them at the bottom?
It will make them back from the joint that are still green and alive.
Funny i don't quite understand this over watering thing. Mine are literally sitting only in water for over 2 years now & they are fine. I also now have them on the bathroom window sill where it gets plenty of humidity.
When the water level in the jars go down i just top it back up with fresh tap water.
Thanks! I hope your video helps me too.
My 6 month old tree has been doing great up til about 48 hours ago. All off the sudden thr leaves are wrinkling and brown and dry! What?!
Strange.
Watching your video and a couple others it is likely too much water and root rot. Of course its 12 degrees outside and my hose is frozen! So i may have to wait for a while
I agree. A 6 months old would die at 12 degrees. In the case the problem is the limescale in the water you may be able to was out the salts from the roots by replacing the soil/compost you use.
Could you do a coconut planting
Thank for the video. I realize after your video that i applied fertilizers. Now it is turning brown
Hi, the dirt contains fertilizer salt now. You need to change the dirt or wait for the clean water to dissolve the salt. Good luck!
I happen to be troubled by this problem, thank you for the three methods I will combine and try to see if it can solve this problem
I know how frustrating it is Chris. I have lost some avocado trees before to find the solution. I hope it works for you. Let me know 🤞🏼
@@howtogrowfromseed Ok, it will take a few weeks to see the results, follow up will share here, thanks for your video.
@@howtogrowfromseed I moved the avocados outside 2 months ago and those burnt leaves fell off and new young leaves grew. The weather where I live now is about 15 to 20 degrees Celsius, and I water it about once every four to five days. And use filtered water. The growing leaves also changed color, turning a beautiful brown. It takes a long time, so I have to be patient. Thanks for sharing it really helped me👍
@@chris9004 so nice to hear this! ✌🏼💪🏼👏🏻
I had my avocado growing since jan/2022 and now the leaves are turning brown what do you recommend
P.s. I had insects attacking it after the brown spots and I had to get insect medication for plants + the temperature now is very low + I am not overwatering nor under watering my plant
Hi there! Could you please share some pics on our FB group? I would need to have a look at it for a better diagnosis. Link here facebook.com/groups/httpswww.youtube.comchanneluc3uygtcbrpfux4lo/?ref=share_group_link
I agree with everything you said, however, the over watering is better described by using the wrong soil. If your soil drains well, you can water often. If they are planted in pots, that doesn't drain well, they will not survive. If they are in the ground, and it cant drain well, they will get root rot and die. If the tree is generally happy and healthy in a warm climate, they react well to the correct fertilizers, from a young age.
Nice channel bud.
Nice add on my friend. I agree with your additions, the soil type has an influence with the root rot problem. WIth regard to the fertilizer, from when the tree reach a age of 3/4 years I have found it to have a positive impact. But for younger ages it has higher probability to burn the leaves.
Very interesting info. A question. I live in southern Spain and during lockdown i started growing 3 plants indoors. Now 3 ½ years I’m having problems. 1) leaves are slowly turning brown and falling off. 2) new leaves are coloured light green and not the usual dark green that they used to be. Any advuce would be appreciated.
Hi Steven, take advantage of the mild winter south Spain has (except Granada) to get the plant outdoor for higher humidity.After about 3/4 weeks you'll start to see an improvement in the quality of the leaves. Bear in mind that you may need to wait for next spring to see the new leaves as the plant most probably will go dormant during the winter. I hope this helps.
What do you think I should do with my avacado tree. The whole stalk is brown. I can’t send you photos.
Hi, post th ephotos on the FB group and I will answer there facebook.com/groups/httpswww.youtube.comchanneluc3uygtcbrpfux4lo this is the best way I have to help you
🙂 If you collect rainwater from your roof it may help. Some great tips in this video 👍
Definitely a good tip as well! Thanks Rob ✌🏼
@@howtogrowfromseed Thank you too 👍
That’s what I do as well! It helps so much!
@@dreamingofbonsai 👍
I have a 7 year old with only top leaves in a 25 gallon pot, I think I have made every mistake listed. What soil do you recommend to repot with? It is the only solution left to me as it is going to die without immediate care. P.S. I can't put it outside in Maine in the winter.
I see, it needs a well drained soil, a mix of 30% sand and 70% compost should be fine. Wash the roots to get rid of salts. Good luck✌️👍
I was wondering about this
Has it happened to you? What do you think is your case? 🤔
@@howtogrowfromseed I took my tree out of direct sunlight. I still have some browning of leaves so Im watering and fertilizing less.
@@barbour121 what is the temperature range outdoor? And humidity?
@@howtogrowfromseed very humid here in GA and temperatures can go from upper 80F to low 90.
@@barbour121 that is good. Avocado like humidity. It helps to keep the leaves moisturised
Thank you. I'm growing 2 avacado trees and noticed one of them had curling leaves.
You're welcome. I hope t is not too cold and you can put them outdoor. They like high humidity, which is the key factor.
@@howtogrowfromseed Theyre indoor plants for now. I have tried misting them like you suggested and that seems to have done the trick. I also bought spring water from the store because ours is kinda rough.
i hear alot of different things on watering i was told that dont let it dry out and water it from the bottom
must be for decorative purposes, as you're not going to get edible avocado grown from seed.
forget water filters or missing out on fert, you need perfectly draining medium (coir, not bark based) that you can regularly overwater to flush salts. it happens with all pot plants. they do need fert, and salts build up if you only water just enough.
I have a 3 years huge avocado plant and since a couple of months the leaves started to bow down , before they where very up, is it because the vase its getting too small?
The plant is becoming huge 1,5mt shall I put it in the garden, but then in winter it will be too cold I'm in italy
Do you mind to add a picture of the vase and your tree on the facebook group? Here you can find the link facebook.com/groups/httpswww.youtube.comchanneluc3uygtcbrpfux4lo
Is it a stupid idea to place my plant in the bathroom? humidity is high, especially after showers.
Or to cover the plant with a plastic bag? although the plant is almost too big for that now.
I have a brazilian avocado tree. Its leaves are browning pretty fast now however small new leaves appear, but they also brown before they get big.
Is my plant fighting death with constantly sprouting new leaves?
It is now winter 0 degrees Celcius outside... Dry climate in Denmark.
I think we water it just right.
I did give it a little lentil water to fight it a few weeks ago.
Any tips?
I understand your situation, it is not easy with the winter already here. You can try to have it in the toilet as a last resource, will it miss the sunlight or do you have at least a window in that toilet? When it is above 0 celsius and outdoor it is humid/rainy, put it outdoor. Are you able to get some rainy water and water it with that? Or use a brita or a filter maybe?
Wow thanks for the quick response!
Will try to water it with "snow water" (it has just started snowing 🙂) and I'll try to place it in the bathroom for some time (it has windows)
Thank you @@howtogrowfromseed
We have a water softener in the house and of course we water the plants with that wonder if that is gonna be a problem my avocado tree is dying we also put fertilizer thinking it would help but no it keeps getting worst!!!😢
So srry to hear. Well, at this point you can take the lesson learnt in this experience and try to get it right next time. By the way, if th estem is still instact you can hope to have it recovered.
My trees did the same thing. Then died. No fertilizer. Just soil from my compost pile where the seed germinated. I live in northern Missouri--Winter temps in the teens. 90 deg to 100 in summer. I kept it in a heated garage in winter, and kept it watered (too much?). But this year, leaves turned brown and fell off. Tree died.
I use only rain water that I collect for my gardens. I keep several gallons in winter for my avocado tree.
I just noticed a new plant that germinated in my compost pile. I will see how long I can keep this one.
I would suggest to keep it outdoor where the humidity is good for as much as you can (until the winter comes).
Mine went brown from temperature distress. Temps went down from 60-70s to 20s when I was out of town. I’ve brought it back inside. Anything else I should do?
Wait for it to recover now, no much else you can do unfortunately. How old is it?
@@howtogrowfromseed 4 years old.
it should be able to recover indoor, afterward in spring bring it outdoor again@@seahp17
mine is losing leaves turning brown it must be lime scale and chloride in the water
YOu can repot it and put fresh soil washing the roots and after water it with rain water or filtered water or put it outdoor and huidity will fight the salts for you (this if it is not too cold outdoor).
I find growing avocado tree is addictive. I m worried about my avocado tress all the time.
I know the feeling 😃
My avocado plant leaves will die as new leaves are growing and I can’t figure out what the reason is and why they won’t stay
Hi Deborah. Do you keep it indoor?
My avocado's leaves look sunburned but it lives indoors near a west facing window. Is it possible it can get sunburned inside? It's only a few months old. Could it be a fungus instead?
Also I'm pretty sure humidity is much higher inside than outside my home. In any case its summer so the humidity hasn't been below 70% for months 😅
If the UV is pretty strong, let's say abotu 10 most of the time it will burn the leaves of your avocado, evben though it is inside. Are you fertilizing? Depending from your area I can understand more what can be the issue.
Even though in the raining season it is better to have it outdoor as much as you can.
@howtogrowfromseed I'm in SW Europe in a "subtropical" zone so we get very mild winters and very long, humid summers. We are in summer currently. It won't rain again for months but the humidity will stay above 70-80% (I'm on a small peninsular so surrounded by sea 😄). Inside the house humidity is usually higher because you have the humidity from outside, plus all the evaporation from people, plants, pets, kitchens, bathrooms etc. I don't have air conditioning in the kitchen (where the avocado is) either.
The sun is quite strong in the afternoons, maybe it is actually sunburned? But the leaf feels soft even though it looks "burnt" so I was sceptical it could have dried up. I'd expect it to be crispy if it was sunburned but it's curled, brown and soft. Maybe I overwatered it?
I'm not fertilising it at all since it still has its seed to take nutrients from, but I do give it tap water. I could try giving it distilled water instead?
@@giftofthewild6665 it can be the salt in water, does your water have particulary presence of limescale? How do you measure the humidity in your house, it is very strange that a house with sun exposure gets more than 50% humidty during sunny days. avocado likes values above 70%. Do you have something to check and tell me that number?
brown leaves outside??? I have automatic watering system and live in California
Hello! Could you expand on that thought? :)
Its my first time to grow avocado in 7months it grow but suddenly leaves grow brown i feel heartbroken..im here in brunei
Put it immidiatly outdoor, hopefully it will come back in two weeks. Good luck.. If you want I can have a look at your tree on the FB group here facebook.com/groups/httpswww.youtube.comchanneluc3uygtcbrpfux4lo

Where did you get that info don't fertilizer the first 3yrs I have fertilizer avocados trees after 3months n never had no issues so that's incorrect info
Hi Jose, some experts recommend not fertilizing avocado trees in the first year. After that, use a balanced citrus tree fertilizer, and follow manufacturer instructions. However, in my experience up the three years the fertilizer may burn the leaves, conservatively after the third years the tree and its root system is strong anough to take on all that salt.
Some link for example www.fiskars.com/en-us/gardening-and-yard-care/ideas-and-how-tos/pruning-and-trimming/how-to-care-for-avocado-trees
Too much sunlight? Haven’t seen an avocado farm in shade yet. Bringing it indoors , really. Again haven’t seen any indoor avocado farms.
Do not let your dog piss on the tree.
personal experience there? lol 🤭
That was my worry too. Got a lot of dogs around.
Thanks for the input, That's exactly what happened to my plant.
It's normal the leaves fall out
If what you say is true then all of your avocado leaf would show the same symptoms. But not all of your leaves show the same symptoms. Why? Please take a look at my video “do you have burn avocado leaves”where I put the leaves under a microscope and you see the difference between a healthy leave in a burn leaf . I think you will find the answer very interesting and there is a solution to fix this.
What a video doesn’t make sense at all
Hi Ryan, I really appreciate your time for watching the video. We would all learn something maybe if you could expand on why it "doesn't make sense at all"?
@@howtogrowfromseed You just list every issue a tree could die from. But not all of them could cause leaf turning brown. For example, overwater will not turn leaf brown, if you ever seen any overwater plant
What would then be the first sign of overwatering a plant? If you google this: "first sign of an overwatered plant" what does come up?
You don’t know? You need google? Lol. Don’t send videos about things you just “heard” of
