There is a certain mystery surrounding the correct method of planting the seeds of this rich fruit that we are all certainly familiar with. Many of us have tried and failed at this endeavor at times.

The truth is that there are two methods. One more well-known, which we are probably all familiar with, and another that is not as popular, but which also works. Furthermore, it must be said that planting avocado seeds is a task that requires a lot of patience.

Today we decided to share these methods with you so that you can try them both and with a little luck (and of course patience) your seeds will germinate and in no time you will have a free avocado. Pay close attention below.

Lawyer characteristics

Avocado, also known as “palta”, is a fruit that grows from the avocado tree native to Mexico and Guatemala. It is known for its unmistakable flavor and the large seed it contains inside.

Nutritionally, it is a truly healthy food, loaded with vitamins (C and A), various minerals (iron, potassium, calcium and others) and healthy fats.

Its texture is creamy and certainly incomparable. It can be consumed alone, with lemon or as part of a more elaborate recipe. One of its most famous versions is the tasty and well-known guacamole. Versatility in its use is one of its main characteristics.

How to plant an avocado tree?
All of this probably makes many of us wish we had our own avocado tree at home. Imagine being able to taste all the “avocados” we love and, above all, without paying anything.

Below we explain two methods by which you can plant avocados.

Method 1 for Sprouting Avocados

1. Extract the seed from the fruit
   The first thing to do is cut the avocado in half and carefully separate the pit. Then you need to wash it as best as possible so that there are no residues stuck to its surface.
2. Glue the chopsticks
   For the second step you need to take 4 toothpicks or “toothpicks” and stick them in the middle of the seed. When doing this, you need to make sure that they are arranged in “X”, so that they can serve as support for the next step.
3. Place the seed in water
   Find a glass jar that fits the seed and fill it with water. Then, rest the chopsticks on the edge of the container so that the seed is “suspended” and half submerged.
4. The eternal wait
   This part is sometimes the hardest. The avocado seed takes about 6 weeks to germinate, no less. At this point we just have to wait.
5. Place in a jar
   Once the germinated root of the seed reaches approximately 10 cm, you can remove it from the water, remove the toothpicks and transfer it to a medium pot with soil.
