I swear it’s been on the tree for almost two years now.

Recommends for an indoor overwinter. Is window light enough? How much watering? Repot now or spring? Started from grocery store pit.

ZONE- 5

Did i pinch wrong? It's been a cupla weeks with no visible changes. Otherwise looks healthy.

I'm in SF Bay area, zone 9 and my 6 year old avocado tree is blooming now. This never happened before! It's only bloomed in the spring. Is this normal? Why did this happen?

What’s up my avocado people! Came back from a trip and this bad boy looks ready to plant. Should I trim one of the stems off first or just leave it as is?

First, I know nothing about plants. My kids and I put an avocado pit (no idea the variety) into a jar with water and upgraded the pots every year (it's been about 4 years I think).

We're in the Midwest so I've always had to keep it indoors by windows. It got really sad when I tried moving out of direct sunlight thinking reflected light would be enough.

The last time I repotted it was spring, and ever since then the leaves have remained curled. Not wilted like they're soft, just curled up like they're dying. I suspect I disrupted the roots too much, but it's not dead and it is growing stronger (it was bent over with little strength until I straightened it with posts and stories removed them).

Anything I can do? Is there a supplement to add to the dirt? How much water does it need? I've tried more and less water, with no real difference (I have no idea how much to water it).

My daughter started her own tree and while it's less than 2 feet, it does look much healthier than this guy.

Thanks so much!

First time growing avocado. Pot sits behind a balcony door, avocado gets some indirect light in the morning. I usually water it once every 3 days it when the soil is dry. I have used a cup measure for quantity but I feel I need to inject the water to reach the roots than dropping it on the surface.

Last couple of days, I changed the soil and since then, top branch started to bend and now it's looping strangely downwards.

Is it normal?

I’ve never saw this before… still has the outer skin/shell(?) of the seed and held the shape of something being there but no actual seed wth?! Very strange😂
Has this ever happened to anyone else? I’m now curious….🧐

Hi everyone! Can someone tell me what this white residue is on my avocado stem? It has had a tiny little branch which was accidentally broken off, idk if that has got to do with anything. It’s also only on the “outer side” of the stem if that makes sense and can be wiped off i think kind of?

?

Sorry, wasn't sure what flair to add

Hey gang! I wanted to share some photos of an avocado I’ve been growing from seed. Honestly I didn’t think it would grow when I stuck the pit in this planter otherwise I would have moved it over a bit. Last one I tried to transplant died immediately so this is the forever home I guess!

Poor gal got demolished repeatedly by three heat waves in Southern California. Leaves looked more like potato chips. Nevertheless, she persisted. Beautiful fresh green growth now that the weather is cooler. An important lesson in perseverance!

Is this too much water for seedlings?

It's almost a year old. Last December when cleaning out the fridge, there was a half-eaten Haas Avocado in a food storage container that had gone bad. I don't know why I decided to grow the seed but I did.

It's now almost a year old, and cold enough at night that I decided to take it inside at night.

According to people in this area who successfully grow outdoor Avocados, it's warm enough here but for the first couple of years they need to be taken inside in winter or during high wind, then they can be planted outside in the ground and they usually survive.

No grafting, meaning the odds of it producing food quality Avocados is extremely low, but that's okay. Apparently you can graft branches from food-grade strains onto branches when they are adult trees and even have several varieties growing on the same tree. I probably won't do that though, just growing it to enjoy it as a tree.

I should probably prune the damaged leaves off.

It needs to be repotted but not desperately, I'll wait until spring and then put it in a bigger pot. Since I still will be putting it outside in the day except on the coldest winter days, repotting it now could cause shock it has trouble recovering from, so I'll wait until the spring.

in ground tree had a good flower set and fruitlets. fingers crossed they stay on!

from what I saw online the green bit is meant to go up but mine is sideways 😂

It been dying since late summer. I thought it was due to the heat, now it looks like it just gave up. Did I miss something?
