In addition, we give you some key tips for the future maintenance of your avocado plant. Take note
To grow an avocado tree at home we only need to have eaten an avocado before. From the bone, and with the help of a few sticks, we can grow a small tree that, who knows, could provide us with fruit in the future.
Next we will see how to do it step by step.
Step 1
Once we have the fruit of the avocado, we remove the bone from its interior. Then we wash it well and place three or four toothpicks in a cross , as shown in the image, so that when it is placed in the glass it does not submerge completely.
Step 2
We place the avocado in the glass full of water, place it in a place with light and leave it there until the root grows . This process can vary, between three and four weeks, depending on various factors such as temperature or light.
Do not worry if the stem is not as developed or leaves have not sprouted, the important thing is that the root reaches 10 centimeters.
Step 3
When the root is about 10 centimeters long, we remove the sticks, take it out of the water and transplant it into a pot with universal substrate. In a month we will see how the first leaves bloom.

regular Lemon Plant can be transplanted into the ground in early spring in fertile soil and with a wooden mulch.
It requires a lot of water in the irrigation, which we will do when we see that the superficial layer of the substrate is dry.
In addition, an organic fertilizer can be added once a month to promote its growth.
Avocado fruiting usually takes five to six years , and as long as we have a female avocado and a male avocado, but then it will give us more avocados every year.
