How do you grow avocado plants indoors?

1 Answer

Answer :

Just feed regularly with plant food, my mother found one growing in her compose from a discarded seed so she planted the little tree and all we did was loosely tie it to a stick that was taller than the plant and feed and water in a large pot. The tree is now about 3 yrs old and is about 4½ feet tall. Avacado trees grown from seed do take a very long time to get to an age to bear fruit. The best way is to get one that was a cutting from an older tree that way it will be able to bear fruit with in a short amount of time.
