🥑:"I shall become... the tallest avocado ever!" 🥑: - gets pretzelled - 🥑:"Aw. :c "

Holy guacamole, look at those avocado seeds! When it comes to seeds, I have so much fun trying the different growing methods! After years of experimenting with different methods, I think I finally found the best way… just grab a seed, peel the skin after soaking in warm water, and plop it right in to a container (pointy side up). Now we’re not growing to bare fruit (most store bought avocados will never bare fruit) but it’s fun to grow a new plants.

They actually resprout really well from chopping while still connected to the seed, as it gives it most of what it needs until it falls off. It also give the trunk good taper if you cut it and let a branch take over as the main trunk and repeat the process

I’ve seen people use thin metal wire to shape a bonsai…I follow a few bonsai channels…they’re beautiful. One guy made a bonsai avacado and a lemon bonsai. Imagine having a bonsai fruit tree in your kitchen. May not produce much but it will be rewarding and beautiful

Hi Krystal, you have been part of making history with my family 🎉. Growing up, my mama always had avocado seeds with toothpics hanging on a glass of water. Never have I ever seen anything grow. Some 40 years. Nothing. I used your method with 5 avocado seeds. I had forgotten about them again after throwing 2 away, and i was reminded when I saw this video again 😂. I found 2 bags, and they have rooted, and one had a stem!! I can not find the 3rd bag yet. Poor thing. Pray I find it before it turns into a full-blown tree in the house 😂. I enjoy you and your videos. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face and lifting me up when I am down. Keep making a difference. Hugs

I have three avocado trees at my home (after SO MANY attempts!), two around meter high and one half. I’m so proud of them, because I tried so many times and how many seeds I thrown away after they sprout first leaves (they just didn’t want to assimilate I guess)… it’s challenging to keep them alive, healthy and without pests (even when you keep them at home). I also gave three little trees away and it makes me happy to share that hard grown joy.

Forgot the most successful method: “neglected in the compost pile”

chopping/ removing bottom leaves helped mine grow multiple stems. i propagated in water then transferred to soil after a few chops .

omg yesssss🙌🏼!! thank you🫶🏼 for posting this!! so excited to see my 4 seeds get roots🌿!! 😃

So I had two avocado trees and upon the advice of a friend I chopped one of them like halfway through and the other one at the very top to still have some leaves but see if it branches out. The first one just grew a new stem just as tall as the original and the second just got a single new branch and it continued growing However I had a third seed and while it was still in water (literally it was like half inch tall ) the top got burned due to the heat we had in the summer so I chopped it that one has multiple stems growing from the same seed. All my hope lies with that one.

Your videos really inspire me :) thank u.

Krystal you're awesome! Your videos make me very happy ❤

I love your videos Krystal!

I put mine into the soil this time too! And it grew so much better than in water in the past.

Avocado's from Mexico.🕺💃

Starting in water and bringing them to soil has worked great for me! I actually have multiple avocado babies that I'm going to practice bonsai with, so excited!!

How are your mango seeds doing? I planted honey mango seeds in soil and they are doing very well.

The one on the water is very decorative. So pretty

I started a bonsai a few years ago. Takes time but every gardener/plant lover should try it. It’s becomes a real journey. I hope to be an old old woman one day and that bonsai is still thriving and giving me wonderful fresh carbon dioxide. 🌱 🪴 🌱

I wanna see how that bendy one turns out. Love doing weird stuff like that with plants. 😄

Thank you for reminding that I need to repot my single avocado seedling. It’s in soil but it’s still leggier than what seems normal!

Your videos blow my mind sometimes!

I used the wet paper towel method and then moved them to a pot...and then a bigger pot...and a bigger one...and 3 years later they're in 22 in pots and taller than me

Please give us an update on the "pretzeled" avacado.💚

Awesome plants 🌱 I also experimented with different ways of growing them lol it was very cool to see there development 😊

😮 wow i love it 🩷🩵

I have a giant display tank for my snake. I shove avocado seeds into his dirt all the time and usually have one or two little avocado trees growing in there. Eventually they get to close to the grow light and shrivel up. But fun!

It is a treat for my eyes see you with your beautiful plants...

You go girl

This is true! I tried growing In water and dirt. They thrive in rich soil. Cute video 😊

SOIL!! EVERY TIME!!❤

Cool I got two growing this so helps thank you

You’re glowing

Updateee pleaseeee❤❤❤❤

Wire, like a 10mm bercroft craft wire works great

Aguacate! I gotta try growing some!

My avocado that's in water has 3 large leaves and I thought I was the only one...I think I will try soil next time...did you place it into soil right away or after it grow some leaves?

It took my trees (4 of them) 13 years to fruit, good luck! Last year one of the trees got too heavy with fruit and snapped, I ended up with nearly 280 lbs of fruit! I kept a case and gave the rest away! This year my babies are now 13 years old and fruiting!

Very good to know that I should probably transplant the avocado I’ve been growing hydroponically for the past couple years if I want it to grow any more than it has, which is not a lot 😅

Update please!🙏🏾

I always chop when theyre still in water and i never have problems 🤷‍♀️ makes the trunk stronger!

That reminds me of the seed in damp paper towel on top of my refrigerator

Id like to see a similar comparison with monsteras. I have a cutting thats sprouting roots in water. Id like to continue growing it in water, not soil, but want an idea of what to expect

I grew some in perlite in a closed container. Best method if you ask me!

Update on the water seed please!

Thanks

I have tried growing avocado in water didn't work, this I put seeds in pots and they growing so well . I'm keeping them indoors until spring

I WAS WAITING FOR A SHIIIIIIIIIMY!!!!

I have been removing leaves gradually from one of my plants and it helps promote the baby leaves growth better in my opinion. And they are growing at different paces causing branching and a real natural feel.

Every time my avacado shoots i twist it in some crazy fashion with bonsai wire. One day all the wild twists and loops will fuse together and become a cool bonsai tree.

Makes sense! Hydroponic shit always reaches wayyy up, because its typically looking for SOMETHING 😂, its usually more light but also could just be looking for growing space

so you just put in directly in any kind of soil? i finally got roots in my seed with the plastic bag method and recently out in water similar to yours :) i’d love to put it in soil but need some tips!

Wanted to find out.. Does that pot for drainage on the underneath..

You use wire and you wrap it around the trunk and then you put it however you want it to lay it down or curve it up

How'd u get it to sprout

Yes. Ideally, it's best to cut down to 6 inches to create a stronger stem and to sprout its leaves. I have a few Avocado trees myself.

I have an avocado tree growing. It's about the same size as to my elbow to my palm. What should I do next? Should I put it in soil or let it steadily grow?

Is there an update for this lil avocado?

My self-grown avocado tree is now about 13-14 years old and (including the pot) about half a head taller than me… I started it back in school, cause I wanted a plant for my window sill. Well, that didn’t work out 😅

I currently have one in water and it hasn't done anything. Any recommendations?

It's actually recommended to top a avocado every 4 to 5 inches. As it grows It encourages new growth.

One question once it sprouts. How long before you get any Edible avocados off of it?

I have one in water. I want to put it into soil now...but im scared! Any recommendations?

Question does the pointh side go up or down

Oh My! 😲 An Avacado 🥑 Bonzai Tree! I Grew A Bonzai Cannabis Plant Last Year, This Is Amazing! I Would For Sure Put The Roots On A Rock And Really Do It Up!

How old is that seed for it to be that tall??

She was supposed to clip the stem at least twice during its growth. By doing so it encourages the plant to grow out and up and not just up.

How do you start it though?

Is it true that you need two avocado plants to be able to produce fruit?

Oddly enough, my avo seed that is in water is only about 15-20 cm tall after a good six months, and has four big leaves. It’s right up against an east window so maybe that helps but so long as it does well in water I’m not potting it 🙈 haven’t got the windowsill space lmao

Squirrels are the enemy in my yard. After 4 months of finally growing my avocado seed in water/toothpick method, i decided it was time to introduce it to soil. I kept the soil very moist so the seed is not shocked from the changes of its environment. After 1 week, it was still doing great and even started some new baby leaves. However the next day, i came out to water it and all i saw was the leafy stalk but no seed. I looked everywhere and finally found a half eaten seed. 😢 Darn thieving squirrel dug the seed. So back to square one and starting out with the soil method and its inside at the window where its safe til it has a thick trunk so no more thieving squirrels will get after it.

That's why mine are so tall and skinny??? I thought the tallness meant I was doing good in the water. One got like 4 feet tall and I was waiting for it to get thick but it just tipped over cause it was so skinny

It gives fruit in this small pot or no?

I planted two Hass avocado seed 1 in water which was 50 % tall than its sister when planted in soil at 6months both were transplanted into the soil out of the pots. At 2 years the one Planted straight into the soil from seed is a lot healthier looking plant and is also 8 to 10 inches taller now. I wonder what those this tell us?😊

I have grown some avocado plants from seed but I wonder. Why does my seed always rot? It rots pretty soon usually always around when the stem has become 10-15 cm it's completely black. Also my stems has always become long and thin, after growing for 6-12 months, so I wonder if there is a way to grow the stem shorter and thicker?

Mine is yellowing I have it in water What should I do?

I just stick mine in dirt as well ...works great

well, did it bonsai?

Is your fetal leaf big drops a lot of leaves they have brown spot it’s root rot

my puerto rican avocado plant is growinggg! but the leaves are browning a bit on the bottom, i wonder what it is

I've noticed that the avocado seeds that I soak over night.....and then put in soil seem to be at their best!

I have a question I always love to have herbs in my kitchen, cilantro, basil, green onion and they always die 😢

I have like 6 seeds going right now. I can’t get any of them to put out a stinking branch. And when I put one in soil, it’s 3 inch root rotted 😂

Chop that top! Chop that top!

Mine grew a little branch and a leaf. Then it fwll off. Branch still therebut its stuck like that. Nothing grew. Solution?

I well try again for the one hundredth time 😮

So mine grew very tall is there nothing I can do. I planted after awhile in dirty and it took off but it’s still really tall

I heard you're supposed to prune your water ones so they regrow bushier

Now we started an avocado seedling but for some reason the leaves are getting like burnt edges and I put it into soil good soil I just don't know what I'm doing wrong 😭

But at what point do you put it in soil

Mine that is in soil is tall and skinny like that lol

I transferred mine in soil and they hate it, hope they accilimate. I'm thinking of leca for the next time.

I thought we only put it in the water to sprout it?

I’m so happy to see the one in soil. Did not lnow

I’m wondering if people are just growing avocado trees just for fun? Because they don’t fruit if they haven’t been grafted.

Avocado in Indiana ????maybe one day

Mine hasn't sprouted any leaves even do It's stem is long! 😢

Hmm it depends, most plants grow better hydroponically if you have a good hydro setup it will thrive and grow alot quicker than soil i was a soil purist until I tried hydro myself and the results were insane

I’d like to see how she’s gonna take the seed out 😂
