Avocado<\/strong> is a delicious and irresistible food, versatile enough to add to a wide variety of preparations or eat on its own (add a tablespoon of olives and a pinch of salt, good!). However, as it is a tropical vegetable, it is often difficult to find in the supermarket, and its cost can be high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s how to plant avocado at home<\/strong>, starting from its seed. It is a very simple operation, which can save us a lot of money. Not to mention the satisfaction of eating a homegrown vegetable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first thing to do is to extract the seed from the avocado<\/strong>, without cutting or breaking it. Once the seed has been washed, in order to remove any residue from the plant, and to have carefully dried it, it is necessary to proceed with the preparation of the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some seeds are triangular in shape, while others are more spherical. But they all have a bottom (where the roots will come from) and a top. It is important to determine the end from which the roots will come out, since this is the one that should be immersed in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Insert toothpicks into the sides of the seed and place it in a glass of water (the bottom should be completely submerged, see photo).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Germinate the seed for 3-6 weeks. After this period has elapsed, a sprout will have grown on the top of the seed and roots on the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the stem reaches 6 to 8 inches tall, cut it in half to encourage new growth. Finally, move the plant to a larger pot by making a hole in the center of the pot to place the plant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Avocado is a delicious and irresistible food, versatile enough to add to a wide variety of preparations or eat on its own (add a tablespoon of olives and a pinch […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19625,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-advice"],"yoast_head":"\n
