avocado plants

yeah we have avocado tree which started as a seed planted by my grandma many years ago. it h hasn't near a single fruit for almost two decades now.but it provides shade at least in the garden in the mid afternoon sun. beside avocado tree, we have banana tree. and then other plants where just plants. I like to bring some plants inside the house to bring more oxygen in.

Terrific! I usually plant the ends from leeks and green onions outside, and harly ever have to buy them anymore. Leftover garlic cloves are good to plant, too. Unfortunately, I can't grow plants indoors. I have two cats who look at greenery from a 1-2-3 approach. They either 1.) eat it, 2.) sharpen their claws on it, or 3.) dump it over. When they were younger they'd use the soil as litter, but thankfully they've outgrown average-sized pots now. Good luck with & enjoy your avocado plant!

I have never grown an avocado, but your article caught my eye because I had read recently that they have some good nutritious properties. So I will trust you to grow some from scratch, and then tell me how they have helped you. Have a wonderful day.

My mom is almost a maniacal genius in growing plants form leftovers…as you can understand, not all plants grow everywhere but that’s not a deterrent to her. She’ll roam in the little patch of green that we have…all the while eating whatever fruit catches her fancy… and just drop the seeds and stones at strategic locations (she somehow calculates in her mind as to how much space they would need…which I think is all the more maddening)…in this way she’s managed to grow four different types of mango trees, two jackfruit trees, tomato plants, pomegranate plants and a few varieties of lemon…well the lemons have failed her so far and she’s going on trying (never a quitter) … its all good but the house seems completely barricaded by her babies and she’s so possessive about each one of them that all hell breaks lose everytime dad talks of cutting down a few.

What are you going to do when they get too big? Avocado trees get HUGE!

Three times I have started to answert and three times it somehow got sodding deleted, So annoying Anyway I have a pear tree and it is time for reaping. I goy 8 ast week and four so far this week.

Night night little bnlue bunny. : Waves nostalgically in the direction of the U.K. Am knackered

I have heard that avocado seeds can be sprouted fairly easily but I've never seriously tried it myself. I know that they will grow in a Mediterranean climate and that they can't tolerate frost. I was surprised, therefore, to read on this site that 'they can be grown successfully in the UK' (I might expect to see one, however, at Kew or maybe the Eden Project): http://www.fruitexpert.co.uk/GrowingAvocados.html I have grown plants from lemon pips but they have never flowered, though they have grown as big as the ones you can see in garden centres with lemons on. Lemons are more likely to be able to grow out of doors in England, especially in the south near the sea, because some varieties can withstand up to about 5 degrees of frost.

So you mean you are growing this as ornamental plant and not for the purpose of harvesting fruits. This is the first time I hear of an avocado plant in a living room! But honestly you gave me a good idea. I love putting plants in my living room and surely I will plant one avocado for that purpose. Avocado is just so easy to grow. I actually have two avocado trees in my garden. The first one is already flowering so I know I would be enjoying the fruits soon. The other one surely will follow suit. A photo of one of my avocado trees is down below.

Avocado plants are beautiful, but be careful. They turn into giant trees.. I´m growing potatoes this year with the potatoes I used to throw away. I´m doing it in bags. The plans are beautiful but the potatoes are yet to be seen.

Hello, Judith. At the moment, we're eating tomatoes from the garden. So what, you may say. Well, all the tomatoes we're eating have been grown from seeds saved from tomatoes bought to eat, rather than from a packet of seeds. There are several plants still with fruit in the garden, and we'll be eating them for a week or two longer.

I have been growing avocado trees for a number of months now. I read about how to stick toothpicks in them to get them sprouted & then I trasnsplanted them. The climate is not ideal here, but boy are they growing! Some I just stuck in the ground about nine months ago & they're also growing - which is really surprising for me here, because nothing else seems to be growing! All the little bugs &/or worms seem to get to them first! Anyway, I noticed in the ones that I sprouted first, that I now have three or more trees growing really well from just the one seed... on three seeds! I couldn't believe it! They have grown so fast in the pot that I'll need to hurry up & transplant them before they get much bigger. The leaves are such a deep, rich green... I could stare at them all day & not get sick of it! How are yours going now?

i ever do experiment like this ,and im planting the bean sprouts and the result after 3 day is withered ==',so sad to see that my bean sprouts withered,it's nice that you can planting avocado plants

i have planted avocadoes from the stone as you call it. It does make a nice plant. but you have to remember they become big trees. we live about 15 miles from an avocado orchard.. i have done some snippets from an african violet and started some new plants, but not too successful. i have been successful with philadendrons. starting plants from some cuttings. i have just recently started some new christmas plants with the cuttings a neighbor gave me. they are working very nicely
