"Once you start, you cannot stop." I have fifteen avocado seeds and there's already five avocado plants in pots. 🥑🥑🥑 "You will never be able to throw another avocado pit ever again" THAT'S SO TRUE I LITERALLY WAIT EVERY TIME WE EAT AVOCADOES JUST TO SAVE THE PIT! The addiction is real. Be warned y'all!

If you want to get the tree to produce, you have to shock the tree. We in South Africa plant the pips and after 3-4 years in the ground, you nail 3-4 inch nails into the thickest part of the trunk and then the tree will go into shock and produce fruits. This is the nature way of survival of the trees to make more fruits for the pips/seeds so the trees don't die out. Tru and let me know.

My coworker found out she could sell them in her local area for about $100 per mature avocado plant. So she went to the nearest Qdoba and asked them for all their pits. They gave her a box of about 500 pits and she was successfully able to grow a bit over 450 in her greenhouse on her rented property. A few died but she sold the remaining avocado plants in 2 months. She made enough to buy a house. So here I am, trying to figure out how to grow an avocado successfully 😂 🥑

So glad to see a tutorial without toothpicks. I don't have any lol

I'mma leave this here and it was the best realisation ever. The lids to the Mcdonalds sundaes and the Starbucks cups (cold ones) works perfectly as the above water vessel. Just flip it upside down and yo gooodddd! Stop that plastic ending up in the fill. Reuse reuse reuse!

I really need to attend avocados anonymous... every single room on my house has about 5... it’s bad

Funny story - I did the first stage: I put it in a wet paper towel, in a tied bag in a cabinet and then... I forgot about it for many weeks. no idea how many... weeks and weeks... I finally remembered having putting it away, took it out today, and... there was a nice root and stem that had started growing. Plus- it wasn't moldy :) So now it's in a glass bottle, in the manner which you suggested, and I'm exited to see what happens with it! Thank you for this tutorial! This is the first time I succeeded growing a root out of an avocado pit!

Thank you Brad! in my experiment I tried: - 1 seed with skin, above water glass (slightly deeped), north window positioned without drape, slight fresh air, aprox 23-24 C - 1 seed without skin above water glass (slightly deeped), north window positioned without drape, slight fresh air, aprox 23-24 C - 2 seeds without skin, in wet paper towel, in zip bag, on desk, near powered laptop (constant temperature, lower lighting). The seeds in zip bag (your method) show strong root after 1 week only, leaving them in bag for another week and check. no bad odor, no mold. the other seeds have very shy attempts to show roots after 2 weeks.

My parents almost tossed out my dude and I saved him, now she’s thriving

This channel is the only way I've ever been successful with growing an avocado pit into a tree! I'm so happy with my first one and now I'm on numbers 2-5... definitely an addiction like he says! Thanks from sunny California! ☀️🥑♥️

Tried this during quarantine and it's been such a fun project for me and my kiddos ever since. We've become super obsessed and are growing 4 more at the moment. We got the same West Elm vase as well! Thanks for sharing this vid!

Everyone: im gonna plant 1 avocado seed Me: you got to step those numbers up, those are some rookie numbers

no avocado pits ever thrown away! 😤💖🥑

I started growing my own plants and trees 2 years ago and what you said is so true. I cannot stop! Lol great video thanks for the tips :)

Your video from a few years ago was what got me into growing the seeds. Your method and tips have always been the most true and successful for me. Thanks for all the info!!

Love your video! My seed has grown roots for the first time in my life, thanks to your instructions, and I'm excited for what's coming next ^^

I just adopted a baby avocado tree and your video is a blessing to a newbie like me! 😊 What I meant by adopted is this cafe I dined in had a brilliant nature campaign that when you purchase their avocado smoothie, youll get to take one seedling. And suddenly today Im an avocado’s parent haha

You have literally answered all my questions! Thank you

That was a awesome video. You answered a bunch of questions I didn't know I had about growing my own Avocado plant.

Can't thank you enough for posting this easy method for rooting pits. Wonderful to find this after so many failed toothpick attempts. The wet paper towel and zip lock bag also worked great for mango pits and lemon pits--they both sprouted roots within one week. Avocados have been slower for me-one has rooted so far (2 weeks). I've transferred 3 mangoes and one avocado to propagation cups set atop 4 different, interesting, tall crystal water glasses of different shapes. I'm fascinated by the day to day root growth. I planted the rooted lemon seeds in soil one morning and by nightfall I had sprouts peeking up---that kinda blew me away. My SO is from the Caribbean and eats a mango and an avocado every day so I have a bagful of wrapped pits perking away. I think that a rooted, sprouted pit in a beautiful tall faceted glass is a great gift idea.

I followed your instructions and I actually did it! I now have an avocado in a bottle 😆 Thank you so much 🙇🏽‍♀️

This video was incredibly helpful! I've been trying for ages to grow an avocado by just plopping the pit in water and hoping for the best. I have been enlightened!!! Thank you so much. You are really fun to watch!

Love the vase look. Wow

The quick toss into the coffer table 😊..Classy

Growing my first Avocado tree with this method. After 6 weeks got a great root and just half submerged in water. Did two at the same time. One took, the other didn't. Brillz method. Can't wait to see wee leaves!

Sooo I’m just gonna leave this here: The avocado has what is called a ‘complete flower’ because of an unusual behavior known as ‘protogynous dichogamy’. The avocado flower has both functional female and male organs, however they open and close twice over a 2day period...the first day as functionally female and the next as functionally male. So it’s extremely hard to get fruit froze just one tree but it’s possible

I watched this video about 2-3 months ago. I followed every step and for the first time ever have 3 avocado plants! Thanks for the great information😊

Your presentation is ... contagious! Love it!

I already have an avocado plant going strong but I wanted to see if there was a better method than what I used and this is the best video I’ve found that actually got me excited to grow every single pit I get and now I have another method to try with my next one! 😅

I've NEVER been able to get an avacado pit to grow. I'm so excited that I'm going to try this method this weekend!!!

😍Yes! Love the look of the stars in glass and beautiful plants. I'll be trying it this way soon. Thank you!🌹

How adorable. You know you can also crush it to pieces and put it in your foods. Its packed with lots of vitamins

I have a tiny improvement that worked very well for me: Instead of a paper towel use wrapped up cling film, it holds moisture too but since it's not organic it's less likely to develop mold. Worked better for me :)

My Pit had roots and a little plant stump when I cut the Avocado 🥰

This is the best idea ever. I cave across this video by accident and now have 4 plants growing, totally addicted and have saved this video for reference. Thank you so much for creating this and sharing with us

Really loved this, fantastic overview and interesting way of growing them I haven’t seen before, great work, thanks!

Love it! I have so many going at the moment, can't wait to see them grow big & strong! Thanks Brad IYSM

Hi Brad. I had a ziplock bag down in my basement aquarium room. I had forgotten about them for months. I was afraid to open the bag as I thought they might be rotten. Amazingly, they were still damp in the paper towels and were sprouting. I also had two new seeds. I cut donuts from pool noodles and made the center hole bigger with a razor knife. The noodle hole was now big enough to allow me to push the seed into it and yet fit snuggly around the seed like a life jacket. They are all floating on top of my aquariums in the basement under bright lights. My only worry is that once they begin to grow they may become top-heavy and want to fall over in the water. I think I will use super glue gel to glue the noodles to each other to create a floating island-like platform that will be more stable. I'll let you know how things progress with it. As for now they are floating nicely on the surface of my aquariums.

my mother did this a lot and i had forgotten ,, i LOVE this video ! Thank you so much , just put my first seed in the baggie ! i can't wait ! Thank you again !

Thank you so much, you are so sweet and love your energy ❤

I seriously just watched this video and now I LOVE him 😂

I’m 11 and trying to grow a bunch of plants, after I got my first plant I couldn’t stop and still can’t I need help. 💀

This was supper helpful I’m starting my indoor plant family and I grew my first avocado root a few weeks ago but did not know what to do next thank you so much

Your video was fun to watch good luck hope to see more of your videos !!!

I’m excited to give this a try! We may try to pot them later, I know some other people in the neighborhood have avocado trees, so we might just get what they need. Although I do remember someone saying you have to graft a male branch to the rooted tree. Still, very exciting to try! 🤗🌻🤓

Love this! You answered so many of those Avocado FAQs. And thank you for including our Prop Cones!!

3 months(or so ago) I started this lovely journey and have her in a plastic jar and on my window sill and it just started sprouting a little stem. I feel so proud!

Ohhhh. I’m gonna try. Thank you!!

The buds are mycorrhizae which are symbiotic organisms that help the plant to grow! I’m so excited. I saved some avocado pits because I just knew I could repurpose it

Great presentation and I love your vases and yes let’s grow because it is fun and enjoyment that is the reward..not a 50 pence fruit. As a beginner I have 6 on the go and am just starting to see roots. Loved the ziplock idea and will try that with my next. The addiction begins…🤩👍

So good hahaha so much joy watching your video

I'm just getting into planting now, thank you! You're so funny!

Oh! Thanks Brad! I have about 50 seeds and don't know how to start them growing. This is helpful! Can't wait to try your tips. Cheers from Philippines! 😁

I'm so glad I saw this video! I was wondering why my avocado pit didn't grow up since a month. I was wondering what kind of soil should I use to plant them, like a tropical one?

Thank you for all the tips

Can I just so thank you big time, like really so simple and love the video. You have been so helpful with advice and tips with the seed and growth to tree.

why did my avocado pit take 4 months to grow a root ..... oh because i put the whole pit in a glass of water during the coldest months of the year

$3 for an avocado? That's so expensive! They're $.75 here. I am trying to grow one for the first time, I'm hoping it works out 💚

I could listen to you talk about plants all day!!!! You’re delightful!

Omg thanks to this vid, i’m obsessed with this hobby💕 my very first is absolutely gorgeous & it’s been almost a year? Just gorgeous💗

It really is an addiction! Mine has not started to sprout but I have like 5 going 🤣

Ever since I saw your first video on growing an avocado a few weeks ago, I have been saving all my avocado pits 😬 goodbye windowsill space 😅. Thanks again for the tutorial and in-depth information 🌱

Thank you for your tutorial and tips cleared up quite a few questions!

So cool!! Thanks Brad just what I wanted! Awesome 👌

I’m not going to wait 7 years to have an avocado!!! That really made me laugh 😂 I mean, it’s a cute plant! No need for more reasons to do it.

Love this! The paper towel thing is new for me. Yes, growing avocado plants is really an addiction. :) I have just two baby plants but I'm trying to grow more.

After almost 4 weeks IT WORKS! Yesterday I put the tip in the water and roots are growing massively Thank you thank you✨💕🌳

I watched this video about a year and a half ago and I now have 6 avocado plants, i planted one I soil and the main shoot shot up right along the side of the pot 5 inches away from the pip. It just made me think of when you said “mother nature, doing it’s thing, being picky”

QUESTION: When roots have developed, Do you use faucet, purified, spring or distilled water for next process?

I work in a cafe as a cook and we use a bunch of avocados everyday. I took 6 pits home today but all the pits have knife slices. I hope that doesn’t stunt the growth :(

I've legit checked your tiktok twice for the last parts of info bcz its so different to other peoples explanations. Glad i found this video! Mine sprouted 3 legs after 1.5 weeks 😍😍

It works! Thank you for the video! 🥰🥑👍🏻

Something I wanna mentioned is be careful not to break the roots when moving to soil. The tap root will not grow back if broken.

Obsessed ! I eat 1 to 2 Avo’s daily ! Needless to say i have way too many humidity bags of seeds in pantry!! But finally my first babe is growing!! Wanna send you a pic ... don;t know how 😆

Awesome information and video. Thank you - I’m going to try this for sure 😄🥑 avocado little plant - here we go!

The plants do look cute. Thank you for the video.

how many house plants do you have? I love your background! so many plants but very modern. I followed this video and my avocado plant is growing!!!!

Lmao why did I think I had to put mine in the fridge 😂💕 thanks for the tips Brad!

Love this! you are right! Once you start with avocado seeds you can never go back! Thanks for this video I enjoyed it a lot!

Awesome, thank you so much for this! I've been growing them a couple years but leave the bottom half of the pit in water - seeing yours look much happier and bigger so I'll try out your method! :)

But for those who want a tree and more avocados, just go have it graphed and they will tell you what to do from there, basically plant it in the ground!

Actually just tried this myself! It took about a month (like you said) and it actually started cracking and rooting! I’m so excited

This is amazing. Yay Brad!!

Love your place. Really dig the vibe

Hey Brad! Quick question: how often do you have to cut the tops of the plant?

I have to agree with you, it's highly addictive! I have seven beautiful trees cultivated in the last 15 months, am overjoyed. Six in ICU and another two waiting to ripen. Awesome pleasure 🌺🌺🌺

Finally an easy tutorial that didn't put me to sleep, in fact you could show me how to grow air and I will still watch your fun presentation!! No toothpicks poking out of everywhere, which has stopped me trying even though I have been really excited to try this because I don't want my hand to look like the avocado seed

Awesome love your energy can't wait to see them grow :)

This video made me go back into my trash can to pick up the seeds from my avocados that turned bad 😅

i planted mine out in the garden in the UK. it is over 12 ft tall now and is still growing

Live in Spain, love this video Brad, sooooooo true, I cannot throw away avocado seeds either. This method is just the best, great results, and finally found the answer as to if I can keep them in water, fantastic, love to see the roots and have them in all shapes and size glass/plastic containers. Thankyou for such a fun and informative tutorial.

He is funny. Really enjoyed the video. Thank you for the information.

Thanks for the advice, worked a treat! My avocado is still in water, just wondering, have you ever added plant feed or other nutrients directly to the water?

I have had two growing in water since july on my kitchen window, the roots are growing from the bottom nicely and they are well cracked open

Thanks can't wait to get started

Lol..your hilarious..love your laughter and great info..have 3 pits soaking ready to go soon❤🌿🤗

Thank you for explaining that this won't produce avocados lol i would've been waiting forever. But anyways, now I found a way to have cute indoor plants without killing them lol

OMFG WHEN I TRIED DOING IT THE AVOCADO WOULDNT GROW SO I TRIED 2 MORE TIMES AND GAVE UP ALL HOPE UNTIL I JUST OPENED IT AND THERES ROOTS IN BOTH OF THEM!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Thanks for sharing!! I just did a video to show mine and it's really big now!! I also learn the mistake I did when it start to grow.

This was very useful, thank you!
