Avocado

I planted that avocado stone just a few weeks back and just saw moments ago that it sprouted.
With the flashlight on my phone I got a bit of shadow.

sweet - will you plant it in the ground? I think they take a long time from seed to fruit?

[Diana]

I tend to agreee with KaolaGardens as I have tried it many times. Lovely shot.

@koalagardens No Katrina, it is to cold here to put it in the ground. I tried that with other avocadoseeds, they all died on me. This time it is going to live in a pot and stay warm and save.........I hope. Thank you for your comment.

@ludwigsdiana No Diana, to cold here, they always die when I put them in the ground. This one stays in doors.

Lovely to see new growth.

[Rob Z]

Wonderful composition to give that arty feel.

@ziggy77 Thanks Jo, i’m always surprised when those seeds grow in to planfs.
I hope it will do well.

Wow!! Never been successful at getting the stone go germinate. Keep us posted on progress

[Jacqueline]

@robz Thanks Rob, I tried, it is sometimes difficult to make a photo a bit interesting.

How exciting! I'd not seen anyone actually plant the pit. We used to stick toothpicks around the diameter and suspend them from the rim of a glass, into water the lower half... then they'd crack and maybe sprout but I've never seen one successfully sprout and then survive a transplantation into soil. I hope you do keep us posted on it's development! It does make a nice shot - rebirth of sorts, for the new year!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thank you Jackie, I keep you posted. It is easy enough: put the stone in a pot, keep the earth moist, put a plastic bag over the pot and keep it warm.

mine got really big, then it got cold, then it died...shall try again soon

[Jacqueline]

@elatedpixie Thank you Phyl, I didn’t transplant it but put it inmediately in soil, see also my reply to Jackie. I’ll keep you posted.

[Jacqueline]

@huvesaker Good luck! Thank you for your comment.

[Jacqueline]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Lol!

[Jacqueline]

@onewing Thank you Babs :)

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

oh, wat bijzonder, zie dat je het gewoon in aarde hebt gepoot, dat ga ik ook proberen!

[Jacqueline]

@overalvandaan Gaat je vast lukken, aarde beetje vochtig houden, warm plekje geven en een plasticzak over de bovenkant en de pot heen. Werkte bij mij prima. Bedankt voor je reactie.

[Jacqueline]

@kgolab Thank you for your fav!

[Pyrrhula]

Dat verwondert mij altijd en bewonder ik. Planten groeien als het maar even kan.

[Jacqueline]

@pyrrhula Bedankt, ik verzamel altijd overal zaden zo leuk om te proberen of je er iets uit kunt laten groeien.
