Avocado seeds come in various shapes, some triangular, while others are more spherical. But all have a bottom part (from which the roots will emerge) and a top part. It’s crucial to determine the end from which the roots will emerge because this is the part that should be immersed in water.

Insert toothpicks into the sides of the seed and place it in a glass of water (ensuring the bottom part is completely submerged, see photo).

Allow the seed to germinate for 3-6 weeks. After this period, a sprout will emerge on the top of the seed, and roots will develop on the bottom.

When the stem reaches a height of about 15-20 centimeters, cut it in half to encourage new growth. Finally, transfer the plant to a larger pot, making a hole in the center to accommodate the plant.
