Avocados will have different names in different places, sometimes called avocado, it is a more popular fruit, many people do not like the taste of its flesh, but many flower lovers like to use its seeds to cultivate new potted plants, and later can cultivate fresh foliage green plants.
This is a potted green plant of avocado cultivated from seeds, and the ornamentality is also very good, whether it is raised on the tabletop, on the window sill or on the balcony, it is a very fresh small potted plant.
Whether it is an avocado bought from a supermarket or a wet market, its flesh can be eaten, the seed is retained, its seed is relatively large, and there will be a brown seed film on the outside, and the brown fruit film can be scrubbed clean or retained.
Hydroponic propagation of these small potted avocados is also a small skill, that is, be sure to distinguish the head and tail of the avocado seeds, the head (top) of the avocado seeds is where the small buds are grown, and the tail (bottom) is the location of the long root system.
The top of the avocado seed is pointed, that is, the position of the long bud; the bottom is relatively flat, that is, the position of the long root system. When performing hydroponics, the bottom of the avocado seed should be soaked in water about 2 to 3 cm, which can promote rapid germination of the root system.
In the hydroponic avocado seed, sometimes the root system has grown to 5 to 10 cm long, but the small buds have not yet emerged, which is also a normal phenomenon, and there must be patience in the process of maintenance.
There will be germs in the seeds of avocados, so it does not matter if we insert toothpicks around the seeds of avocados, as long as the toothpicks are not too deep in the seeds, do not hurt the germ inside, and will not affect normal rooting and germination.
Prepare 4 toothpicks, insert them around the seeds of the avocado, fix the seeds on the surface of the water, and add water to cultivate the avocado seeds with ordinary water cup or glass water.
After that, it is necessary to change the water every 2 to 3 days, which can ensure that the water quality is fresh and can maintain the activity of the water, which is conducive to faster rooting and germination.
Water culture to protect avocado seeds must be placed in the right environment, must ensure that there are more than 3 hours of soft light every day, do not raise in shade, do not place in the light, so that the germination rate is very slow, and the seeds will have the risk of rot.
Ensure that there is proper light every day, coupled with a warm and ventilated environment, the temperature is between 18 and 28 degrees, and to maintain more than 45% air humidity, the seeds of avocados will take root and sprout in about 3 to 6 weeks.
After it has germinated, it can continue to be cultivated in water, and the leaves will grow more delicate. If there is a lack of light, the leaves of avocado seedlings are turquoise or tender yellow; if properly illuminated, the leaves will slowly turn emerald green or dark green.
In the later stage, if the root system of avocado seedlings grows particularly long, it can be transferred from hydroponic to soil cultivation, directly cover the potting soil at the root system of the avocado seedlings, do not compact the soil hard, avoid root damage, and then water through, put it in a ventilated and transparent place, slowly slow the seedlings, wait for 4 to 5 days, and then slowly see the light, and then you can develop a robust avocado potted plant in the later stage.
