It has been sitting in my window for about 2 months...and guess what? I have not let it run out of water, yet. It started out as just the pit...with a little funny thing on one end when I was cutting the avocado. At the time I thought it had potential. Which end goes into the water? To the internet I go. So to make a long story short, the pit finally started to split and now it has a little root coming out... so I guess the information was correct. I am not sure where the stem will come from...I think it will keep splitting until the stem can come out the top. Then what do I do with it?
I will need to go back to the internet for more information. I understand an avocado tree grows very slow...but that is beside the point. I can not put it outside-to cold- so I will try to find a good spot for it's pot. We can dream of a tree ripened avocado.
That's so cool. Maybe you can make sure it is covered when the frost comes. Otherwise, you might need a really big pot. But, I've never had an avocado tree before, so who knows? Maybe you can grow it in a pot! Well, even if it's in a pot, it will still need to be covered. But, you could move the pot indoors-duh!
