Step 1: Prepare the Pit
Remove the pit from a ripe avocado and wash it thoroughly. Let it dry for a few hours, then identify the top (pointed end) and bottom (flat end) of the seed.

Step 2: Suspend the Pit in Water
Insert three to four toothpicks into the sides of the pit, spacing them evenly. Place the pit, bottom side down, in a glass of water, ensuring the bottom is submerged while the top remains above water. Set the glass in a warm spot with indirect sunlight.

Step 3: Wait for Roots and Sprout
In 2–6 weeks, roots will begin to grow from the bottom, and a sprout will emerge from the top. Keep the water level consistent, replacing it every few days to prevent mold.

Step 4: Plant the Seedling
Once the stem grows to about 6 inches, trim it down to 3 inches to encourage stronger growth. When new leaves appear and the roots are well-developed, plant the pit in a pot with rich, well-draining soil, leaving the top half of the seed exposed.

Step 5: Provide Proper Care
Place the pot in a warm, sunny spot. Water regularly, keeping the soil moist but not soggy. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.

Step 6: Maintain Growth and Enjoy
As your avocado tree grows, continue to provide sunlight, water, and occasional pruning to promote a healthy structure. With patience and care, your tree will flourish, and one day, it may even bear fruit.
