I know it’s kinda late to comment but pls read this. I found that if u just soak the seed in 2-3 minutes the skin will come easy of and you’ll be able just to use ur nails in then it takes about 30 sec to get the skin off
Nice tip Ill have to try it next time!
Techplant had like a farm of avocado plants currently trying with a 3D printed avocado boat
Thx ur right
That’s what I do! Works like a charm.
Cool
I use to draw faces on those and they would be my pets
this comment made my day :)
Awww I love that.
that’s cute
I just peeled an Avocado for a salad and it was not only already cracked, but there was a small, half in root growing from the seed and into the flesh! I looked up this video and am following the rest of the instructions. I hope this plant is as strong as the seed! ;)
Actually pretty fun and engaging video, you had my attention all they way through despite me having no plans of growing an avocado tree
I just chucked the pit in a pot with potting mix and 3 months later I started seeing the growth up top. It's now doing really well 8 months later.
Thanks! Your presentation is way easier to understand than other videos; especially when determining which side of the seed is the top vs bottom .... We’ll give it a try!
Avocado makes my mouth water.
Some avocado seeds take a little longer to germinate. I start mine in water just like you have but they don't always sprout in over a week or two. I had one that took about two months until it decided to crack open and send out a root so it was NOT dead but slower in germinating. So far it's doing well. I have it in a south-facing window as my florescent tube lighting fixtures are as high as they will get. NICE plants btw and I wouldn't mind getting the lights that you have. What wattage are they? Great presentation and thanks for sharing your plant knowledge! ;-)
I started my avocado tree about a year ago now and its gotten pretty big. My only word of advice it that even though they need lots of sunlight, heat can be a bit harsh on the plant if they aren't given enough water. Since my tree has gotten bretty big i spray it every other day with the hose generously because the leaves started turning brown when i put it outside for the summer. also, the thing about the light is important too if you dont want it to lean awkwardly to the side. I had to keep rotating mine at the window sill during the winter because it leaned toward the light and now it has a funny looking, twisty bottom. I think it looks fine but if you're picky then maybe a light scource directly above is better. (also as a side note, lemon trees dont need as much water especially when they're small. i lost 6/8 lemon sprouts/saplings because i didnt know this)
Spinning it twice is the key!!! I'll have to try this one day. Simple instructions, useful tips, great visuals, and even the occasional joke :) Subscribed and looking forward to more videos!
Just watched your mango one and you referenced this one. 👌🏽Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
I wrapped the seed in damp paper towel then a zip sandwich bag. Set & forget. Made roots and stem. I think that was more successful than any toothpick & jar prop.
Nice Ive seen people do that as well!
Best video for avocado growing from seed
best fan ever!
I was feeling great about my small leaves, and then I saw this video.
give em time and light and they will get big too!
What an awesome video! Will have to try it~
Great tutorial, Thanks. Excited to try. Thanks for explaining what could go wrong and how to avoid it.
Thanks soo much I am so thankful I got it (the avacado) I did what u did it worked and I did not have a blade but I could use my nails so thx 😃
I love your videos, thanks for sharing!
The biggest thing I gained from this was a cheap grow light recommended by someone I respect. Thought any quarter decent light would be $100+ for sure
yeap
💚🥑💚🥑💚🥑💚 I've grown big avacado plants from pits in the past. The past year, I have had absolutely no luck! 😅
How so? Could be the species maybe? Try a hass one
@Techplant I was thinking maybe I just had the better window to start them in at my other home. After I moved out, I haven't had any luck! Lol
I will definitely try your suggestion. Thanks 😊
I like to use natural sunshine ☀️ to grow my plant 🌱
nice!
Love your videos: detailed, easy to follow, but simple. Subbed!
Awesome, thank you!
Why do i get rick and morty vibes with your voice lol
IM AVOCADO RICK, MORTY
By accident, because I had left the avocado seed out too long before planting it, I found that the brown outer skin will dry up. That actually made it easier to peel off. However, I do not know if that compromises the seed, by letting it dry first (usually seeds can go through a dry period so it would seem like it's ok, but who knows about avocado). Perhaps there can be a test of dry and without dry period and see.
The other thing I found out is that the dry skin helps the seed stay moist/not dry up too much. I had a set of seeds with and without the skin, all while still not being planted yet. The ones without the skin had become soft and felt compromised, but the ones that had dried up but still had the skin on, still felt like hard seeds just like when it was fresh.
Anyway, after all this, i see now that there is a sticky post saying just to soak the seeds for a few minutes and the brown skin layer can come off easily. I guess that will make it moot to let the seed dry out for fast peeling, hehe!
Nice observations and thanks for taking the time to post! For this video I just filmed what worked for me. but there are many other ways to get one of these to grow so keep experimenting thats my favorite part about this hobby!
I followed your video and it worked , I currently have a sprouted seed with many roots in a jar of water. When do you recommend I put it in soil
once you start seeing the actual plant sprout growing upwards you can. Congrats on your success!
How do you prune the leaves and when do you do it? Great video by the way! I have an avacado tree that's pretty tall. The main stem isnt that thick and I'm afraid it will fall over later on. It's like a long bare stem with some leaves on top.
I tried it and it worked
awesome!
Avocado! Avocado!
they are so cool right?
@@TechplantChannel extremely, i just put 5 seeds in water. Send me some rooting vibes please 🙏🏼
Do you still have the plant? It would be interesting to see how big it’s gotten since you posted this video.
sadly I do not, back then i was taking multi month trips to korea and my plants were under my parents care and that one sadly did not make it
way easiy to understand.. thanks
thanks for watching!
I can't get avocado to grow for me!!! I have done everything that you showed and it still doesn't work.
Update: I have a baby avocado tree now and three seeds rooting and they're from the grocery store. i guess some work and some don't.
Ive had luck putting the jars on a seed heating mat, you could also try putting it in a bag with a wet paper towel!
This may be late but I recommend putting them in a pot with soil and just forgetting about them before winter. However, it may not root so I recommend doing this a few times or with a bulb flower in the same pot just don’t forget to take the avocado out once it does sprout as they don’t do well afterwards in crowded pots. It’s worked for me so you can give it a try if you still want to grow them and even if the avocados don’t sprout you’ve still grown flowers! (Still water it don’t completely forget)
I just planted the seed whitout peeling it or nothing in a small cup with compost and watered it once in a while just to keep it humid, and voala, 3 weeks later i got a fast growing little tree!
love your videos!
Thank you!!
Really good video!
Love your videos!!
오 감사합니다
Aww the bottom looked like a heart
Any idea what to do when my two avocados (70-80cm heigh) are losing leaves like crazy?
give it light and make sure salts arent building in the soil, try replacing it
I actually didn’t have a razor blade so I used my food knife and hands to take the seed skin out and it worked fine and easy
Nice
Does container needs to be transparent?
No, just helps for seeing the progress
@@TechplantChannel thx
A week or 2 for the root to appear ???? what water did you put to the avocado ? I waited like 1 month for my first avocado to root, now for the autumn\winter part I waited like one month just for the avocado seed to crack a little o_0
I should have been more specific, I meant more like it started to crack and you can see the main root starting
Aaaaa okay, I was like "what did I do wrong ???"
Its because he already had a crack in the seed.2:58
It also could be the temperature of the climate of the plants grow
Techplant, what can I use to peel seed besides the razor blade
Pick n save! WI native heard that!
yeap yeap! Im from the milwaukee area!
What kind of Avocado would you suggest? I have heated so e need to be I herted ,after on, I don’t know much about them but would like to learn and will happily appreciate any advice you can give me on the avocado?
Avocado meat 😂 never heard that before!
lol
Probably cuz he meant it like one says it in Spanish lol
Put clear stuff over them to mimic a greenhouse affect. Your plants should have more growth in just a few hours. That’s what happened to my peppers and tomatoes. My peppers have about 1 month of growth but in just two weeks and it’s under a normal florescent lightbulb.
Remember to spin it folks!
Most important tip
omg amazing video! thank you so much!!!!!
Thank you for watching!
What should be the level of water when first sprout appears, mine 1 sprout dried up even though having nice long root?
this is hard, the water should be about at the "base" of the sprout, but sometimes its a fine line because too much water can cause the sprout to be too wet and die. but too low and the exposed root dries out.
After rewatching this, that jar reminds me of a small container of kimchi.
can I get this to grow nicely in Canada where I put it in the sun for about 10 hours a day?
yeah but once winter comes, the sun/light cycle will be too weak and short
@@TechplantChannel Thank you for replying so fast! So when winter comes, I should put it under grow lights right? Any tips on that?
hi did u change water if yes how often, thanks
I just top it off unless it gets moldy
Just wondering how long before it will bear fruit and will the avocado need another one for fertilization
probably 5 years, and thats if you are lucky. If you are serious about growing an avocado tree for fruit then its best to buy a good cultivar. becasue any seed you plant is playing the genetic lottery. When you buy them you are buying a clone of a known good fruiting tree.
Should I prune it after it grew?
you can if you want, just water less after a pruning because it wont be able to suck up the same amount like it used to
I changed my water every 3 days. Did I do it wrong? Should I keep the same water throughout?
change it if it gets dirty. just be careful not to use water with chlorine in it, it can slow the growth by damaging new growth
After you put the foil on will you have to replace water, and can I leave it alone from the start for 2 weeks without watering
its best to replace water often, but im not a diligent man. so the foil helps prevent evaporation allowing you to change the water lessoften. just makes sure the seed doesnt dry out! Thanks for watching!
do you recommend a specific period to plant them?
I grow indoors so it doesnt matter, but i dont know about outdoors
I bought an avocado tree about 4 to 5 years ago & little avocado’s were starting to come but then all of a sudden it stopped and hasn’t bear any more since then. What can i do to get it to give avocado again? Any suggestions that could help my tree?
Can it be done indoors or out doors
mine are indoors
When I cut my avocado open the skin was loose (as in baggy around the seed) and I pulled it off really easily.
Nice, I hope it grows well for you!
Were did u get your lights
Amazon they have a huge selection
Wow I didn't know you have to peel off the skin of the seeds!!
Everybody should be taught this. Much better than boring math.
lol
An avocado.... Thanks.....
Hello, I started to grow two different types of avocados and the first one kinda stopped growing and then all of the 3 leaves kinda dried and there were also brown stains. Same with the other one.. I don´t know what is going on, I water them a lot, they are on window where they have a lot of sunlight - I thought that they were burnt so I put them on my shelve and nothing really happened, so I put them back on window.. don´t you know what is going on, or where is the problem? They were both really big, i had them for like 7 months and then suddenly this happened. I am really upset about it and I don´t know if I should start new ones. (sorry for my english, i am still learning)
Maybe they are overwattered?
Hey, can this also be done with a chestnut seed??
not sure
@@TechplantChannel I'll give it a shot during this fall :-)
It helped us
Glad it helped!
Is it need to change the water everyday how many days before we transfer in pot
I usually just top off the water, and every seed is different so its hard to give you a number, when you have a decent set up roots you can transfer it
Hey, i tried to grow 2 avocado seeds in a jar with water nearly a month ago and there are still no roots coming out from the seed.. Do you think the seed is dead or should i wait more?
Thank you
sometimes they are slow, especially if its cold in the room they are in. give it some moer time
most people recommend cutting the stem in half or pinching out the leaves once it is about 6 inches tall. is this step necessary?? do you do it?
This depends on what kind of plant you want. If you want a nice strong bushy one, then id suggest pinching back the plant. But if you want a tall more tree like plant then just leave it be. Its up to you, both are good ways to grow it!
how bad is the light on your power bill?
Will it grow in Canada? How long until it produces avocados?
LucasGrowsBest it won't survive the harsh winters, but you can grow them indoors. As far as getting fruit, it takes about 4 to 5 years to start producing and you might not get good ones. If you are growing got fruit it's best to buy a plant that had been grafted!
Ok that's what I thought, thanks! I subscribed! Check out my channel if you get a chance.
Techplant, what are the cost of using those led lights? I mean the electric bill ofcourse ^^
those were 30watt panels, Dont get confused by amazon posts they claim 200 watts and stuff but you gotta look at the true wattage they draw from the wall. Anyways. the square ones i have were about 30Watts. So here in USA we get charged 13cents for 1 kilowatt hour. so
1000 / 30 = 33, so every 33 hours its on costs 13 cents. if its on for 12 hours a day 360 hours a month.
360 / 33 = 11 (because 33 hours is our 1 kilowatt hour) So 11 x $00.13 === $1.14 per month!
@@TechplantChannel thnx for the info! Sounds great and for nothing! So you have a video for a small basic setup for indoor?
How is the tree now? Is it fruiting?
Can we grow an avocado plant in Indian soil?
hmmm, Im not sure where you live, India is pretty big with really dry places and really wet places it depends on which part of india you live in,
@@TechplantChannel I live in Bangalore(south india)
@techplant how many times should i replace the water from the container? weekly?
whenever it starts to discolor or you get a film on the surface. Just remember to use non-chlorinated water!
- side note i've seen people grow em in some pretty nasty water
Does the seed need direct sunlight?
heat and water, once it starts growing some good light will keep it from getting too long
@@TechplantChannel ok thanks
Mom: where are all the avocados?
Me: :> no where...
lol
Nice😊😊😊
I got an avocado plant which is about 30 years and its never produced any fruit do you know why
bad genetics maybe. is it outdoors?
Yes it is outdoors but i live somwhwere hot. Its probably the genetics. Thanks and do you know if getting another plant would help
Do I have to put my seed in the sun?
yes or under grow lights, otherwise it will be leggy
Hi! Do you know when they'll be able to bear fruit??
3-5 Years sadly, if you want it faster you'd have to get a scion to graft onto your root base. its a nice ornamental plant though!
The link for the light isn't there.
Thanks for catching that, I fixed it!
Please do acorn
ill look into it
a week and it grow roots? I'm on like week 10 and only one out of my 3 seeds has roots, and they're not as long as yours. huh!!
Either i got lucky or i accidentally mispoke! I cant remember, but ive had the time to root be wildly different between seeds
Is it safe to assume that the seed is dead if after 1 month of soaking there's no root coming out?
Hard to say, some take a long time others dont,
mine is 2 months old and it just sprouted a root
I've tried this with 4 different seeds, 2 have cracked open but never fully developed their roots... It's been over a month since I initially started them.
maybe they are too cold? sometimes if they are in a cold environment it keeps em from growing, Im planning on doing some experiments on how to root them easier and faster!
I let the dry an shrink to remove the skin
man ur place is to farm in iraq where it’s fertile and 50 degrees celceus in the summer
wow 50C is HOTTTT
I think I might have put the seed upside down and it has cracked from the top. Should I flip the seed?
Only flip it so the bump looking thing is in the water, ive had a seed start cracking from the top before, so the crack is not always an indication.
if you want to arrange a way to send me a picture I can try and help identify the top and bottom!
yes please! would sending you a picture through email be acceptable?
i just sent them!
unlimited guacamolezzz!!!!
they take a few years to mature though, but then yes!!! Thanks for watching
Just seeing this in my pop up have to ask has anyone gotten Avocados yet because they generally take three years to fruit.
I dont like this way, because it feels like hurting the seed. I just put the seed half coverd in the ground and it always come up without any troubles.
Ill give it a shot
I didn't spin mine and it doesn't seems growing =(
Give it some more time, otherwise start some more!
Will the trees that grow from store bought avocados bear fruit? I heard a rumor that they do not so you end up with a fruitless plant
All seeds have a possibility of not producing a fruiting plant, If you want to grow avocados for sure then it is best to purchase a plant with grafted branches so you can get the best fruit possible
@@TechplantChannel oh wow do you know the biological reason for this? Even when growing a full tree? I'm very curious about this
@@TechplantChannel what do u recommend for grafting??
2 years passed, have you managed to get some avocado fruits from it ?!
It takes a lot longer than 2 years. Around 5-15 years depending.
give us an update
it died when i went to korea for 3 months sorry!
@@TechplantChannel that sucks
Yea yea yea
Why you remove that skin? Is it important
a lot of times it starts molding
Techplant i didnt understand
Mines got the skin on it and it's fine. Little bit on it but just gently wipe it off
Avocado flesh, not mean. I think
ahh
Thats not the proper way to use a knife
The top is on the exact opposite of the bottom.
