Budding a Seed
I have 3 avacado seeds that i have had in water for about 3 or 4 weeks now. I peeled the brown skin off of one, half of the skin off of one and none of the skin off of the other...Does anyone know how long it will take them to start budding so that i can plant them in the dirt? I am changing the water every few days, but i am not pouring it all out cause i want some of the nutrients from the old water to stay in it...is that what i should do? I have never budded seeds before...
Thank you

In about 2-6 weeks when roots and leaves are well formed the plant is set in potting soil. If the soil is kept fairly moist and the temperature is between 60 and 70 degrees,the seed will begin to sprout and a pretty,leafy plant will develop.When the seedling reaches 12 inches,it should be pinched back to about 6-8 inches to produce a rounder,fuller plant. Avocados grown inside thrive in sun or in a good,lighted location.
Once they've filled their pots up with healthy roots,they should be potted in larger ones. Repotting should be done in the spring. Watering should be done so that the soil never becomes really dry but isn't ever soggy. They should be fertilized with houseplant food every two or three weeks in the summer and about every six weeks during the winter. It's also a good idea to mist the leaves if the air in your home is dry.Potting plants should be moved outdoors gradually,so they can acclimatize themselves and adjust to the new elements.
Hope I was helpful,
