How to fertilize Sir Prize Avocado
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Sir Prize Avocado after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I have a avocado seedling that I bought from Florida, but I live in Massachusetts. Can I put it outside now for the summer? #Avocado

Avocado plant looses leaves after they go brown The avocado plant I've grown from pit was doing so well until a few weeks ago when it started to get some brown spots that grew a lot, and then it lost a few leaves. Can you guys give me some ideas for potting mix and the good diameter of such a tall plant? Or is there any other reason for it to do so badly?

Thoughts?

Not sure how to treat my avocado I don't know if this is a sign of a moisture issue or root problems. I just reported my avocado plant, a week ago cause it started having those whitish-brown spots, but the change doesn't seem to stop this. The stalk is strong and vibrant and the main roots are pretty thick (i didn't really check the rest of the roots). Please share some advice to grow this baby back to health #avocado #help #advice

Just repotted my tree last week and gave it plenty of water. Since then it has dropped all leaves and is looking rough. Thoughts? #Avocado

Avocado plant leaves turning brown after repotting. She’s been having issues w/ browning and loosig leaves and at forst i chucked it up to when our heater went out for about a week and it was 40°f/4°c on average. Then innoticed that the drainage water was coming out a dark orange color every time i watered it, so i decided to mix in some peet. Now its having the same issues again, there were no brown spots before i repotted. Im a little nervouse to mmess with my other avocado plant since its been doing much healthier than this one (besides loosing a few leaves due to aforementioned temp drop) Any tips would be a godsend 🥲

I grew I Am Groot by placing the well cleaned Hass seed in a pot of soil, flat end down, and kept the soil moist. Once it began opening (be patient) I peeled away some of the brown covering. It went from Sprout to Groot quickly! Once established, I cut back watering. I talk to Groot and flick the stem every day. If I can do this, you can too! So fun to watch it grow! Planted 8/8/2021

We opted to plant the seed immediately rather than going the toothpick/water or plastic bag routes. Those two options never yielded any results for us. We’re on to our third plant with the direct planting method.
Took a while to sprout, but it really took off once it did. Super fun for the kids to watch. Makes a great addition to the family.

I like how it is so enduring and it grows easily. My mom and I grew this avocado from a seed. Very special!

Took forever to sprout from a seed

Very difficult to maintain once potted. When growing from seed, wrapping in wet paper towel in a sealed plastic bag is more effective than putting in a cup of water.

Pit germinated without any warning was not trying to propagate it. So he’s an unexpected guest. He’s too popular with pests outside. Likes some light not too much, Should cut him back to broaden his foliage but I can’t bring myself to do it. It’s a nice plant if you enjoy doing something from birth that can last a long time if you care for it. Cats admire him too he’s been nibbled on occasion. 🤔

Make sure to take a look at the leafs and feed it water soluble fertilizer accordingly.
I started it in water for 4 months, until it got to my desired hight. Then I put it in soil and it instantly grew 6 new leafs! The leafs are a gorgeous colour and size and it definitely inspired me to experiment with propagation and growing from fruits.
