1. Effective Germination Firstly, clean the avocado seed thoroughly. Insert four toothpicks around its midsection, enabling you to suspend it over water with its pointed end facing upwards. Regularly change the water every week to avoid decay.

Expect the seed to sprout in about three weeks. The best season for starting your avocado plant is spring. When the first leaves appear, the seedling is ready to be transferred to a pot.

2. Selecting the Right Pot In regions where temperatures frequently fall below 10°C, opt for a container that can be easily moved indoors, as avocado plants are highly sensitive to cold.

For those living in areas with milder winters, a larger pot outdoors is suitable for your avocado plant.

3. Optimal Soil Conditions Avocados prefer acidic soil, with a pH range between 5 and 7. A perfect soil mixture includes equal parts of peat, coconut fiber, and earthworm castings. Add a scoop of perlite to enhance soil aeration.

Ensure the soil has good drainage capabilities, as avocados are prone to root rot in waterlogged conditions.
