Are you interested in learning how to grow avocado at home? This is a very easy vegetable to cultivate at home. It can also be a fun project to grow since it is considered as a tropical fruit. It does require ample amount of sunlight to grow well. You must have an adequate amount of room for planting the crops as they do not like to be planted in areas that receive less sunlight than what they need. In this article, I am going to share some simple ways on how to grow avocado at home.

The first key to how to grow Avocado at home is patience. The stems and roots of the plant usually grow within two to four weeks, so just bear with us. Second step to grow an Avocado is putting the glass of water with the avocado seed in it in a warm place that is also exposed to indirect sunlight but is away from direct sunlight. Make sure the pit has enough depth to let the water to percolate into the soil. It should be deep enough to let the water seep in without being absorbed by the soil.

In order to start the planting process, make sure that the pit has been dug at least one foot deeper than what is needed for planting the avocado. This is to ensure that the tree has enough space to spread its roots. Before planting, remove the protective screen from the pit. You need to wait until the weather is warm before you can put the screen back. You can place the pit in the sun but make sure that the pit is protected from wind.

The next step is to dig a hole that is about an inch tall and four inches wide. It should be deep enough to allow the root to expand downwards. On top of the hole, place the stake that supports the tree. Four to five inches of soil should be left in the hole for the root system to take in. You can use a stick or brush to keep the soil from shifting around while the seedlings grow.

Just like other plants, the avocado requires direct sunlight in order to grow properly. If you are out in the sunshine, it is best to remove the seedlings when the soil becomes dry. Put them back indoors after the weather becomes cool. Do not leave them in the direct sunlight, as this can cause too much heat.

Now that you have planted your seedlings, you need to remember a few things. You need to keep the soil moist but not soupy. You also need to fertilize them on a regular basis. It is important not to over-fertilize them. The avocado does not like too much fertilizer and can actually suffer from a lack of nutrients. They need about one ounce of fertilizer for every square foot in the soil, or else they will be more likely to bear fruit.

It is easier to grow avocado trees in pots than it is outdoors. When you plant them indoors, the dirt can be sprayed with a weak solution of lime to prevent it from becoming too acidic. Grow them upside down if you are not growing them in a large pot. This way, the roots will be more easily connected to the sides of the container. Keep in mind that while they will grow taller with this method, they might not reach their full potential.

To help them grow faster, you can prune them on a regular basis. It is recommended that you trim the branches after they have attained two feet in height. They will grow quickly because they will absorb a lot of nutrients from the soil when you are providing it for them. Within a few weeks, you should see new growth on the tree.
