How I grew my avocado plant from seed

As the proud owner of 3 plants in various stages of maturity I can say it's fun and rewarding (and fairly easy), but I'm under no illusions that I'll get edible fruit from them anytime. But they make a nice indoor plant.

Another way to germinate the seed is to store it in a plastic container (or zip bag) with a little bit of water, and leave it in a warm dark cupboard for a few weeks until the roots and stalk start to appear.

> fun and rewarding

Yes that's the main idea. We started it super spontanously and people wanted to know how I did it.

I'll report back on the taste in seven years if I'll ever get fruits haha.

Do you have some images online of your plants?

> I tried the zip lock back with moist soil and some other stone fruits in the fridge but they didn't do anything. I think mold took over.
