I wrapped my seeds in napkins and put it in an empty yogurt plastic container. Spray some water on it and put the lid on it after two months I opened it today and found 11 seeds sprouts already. Very happy in California 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
That's what I did, it rooted! I got one of those bigger shiny avocados! It took between 3 and 4 weeks for it to root. Now it's in the pot❤😊 It seems as though the shoot might be coming up though
I tried this and forgot about it on top if my fridge. I just checked them and all four seeds are sprouting. This is the first time EVER I have gotten avocado seeds to sprout! Thank you!
Thanks for this! I put two avocado seeds in a ziploc just two weeks ago and have little roots coming out of them already. I'm choosing to continue on with them in water with toothpicks and then I'll go from there. Very exciting!
This worked so well!! Thank you so much!! In just a month it has grown roots and a stem inside the bag and I put it in a soil right away. Two months later it has grown ridiculously fast.
Unknowingly, I did this! A friend gave me a seed and I procrastinated and left the seed in a bag with paper towel. I re-wet the paper towel and left it in the bag and will now be planting it according to your planting instruction video. Thanks for your simplistic instructions as I definitely do not have a green thumb…YET! Haha! Off to the store for some peat moss and pearlite 👋🏼 Thank You!
before I forget again! Thanks for the vid! I got an avocado seed that's been in a bag for a while now (thanks to this vid), just noticed today the seed has a good crack along one edge. Couldn't remember when to actually plant the sucker so I just rewatched this vid
Hey Scott. I used the same method about a year ago, the perfect spot a found was in-between 2 dishcloths on top of my geckos tank near the light... The growth was incredible, unfortunately didn't time it but I do remember the shoots growing alot faster than ones I planted straight into soil
firstly thank you for your avocado growth videos! I am an amateur fan of avocado seed growth and kind of addicted not to throw avocado seeds to the bin ;D secondly I usually ( I mean always) put the seed directly into the pot with soil. They almost always grow after 2-3-4 months and they grow than so fast than you actually have to monitor them to cut them so they do not grow too high. Anyway I will try the plastic bag method next time :) thanks for all the knowledge! Going to see the soil preparation video soon.
Hi Scott I found your fun channel during lockdown with the kiddos! Do keep from going insane we began growing stuff avocado included! Buuuuuut we also discovered prop-boxes and the magical spahgaum moss & perlite ! I’ll leave the rest for you to perhaps make another video on! Hint hint 😉
This is great stuff, I'm germinating two right now and they're ten minutes apart since soaking at the top of a cup of water. Got like a handful of seeds to go. I'd like to try the bag method too.
update time :), so i checked on the bagged seeds and I got my first tap root! Its like an inch right now and tomorrow I'll be placing it into a cup of water until I get some soil and pots. The ones soaking at the top of a cup of water are still taking in water and no root yeat
This is also how you get MARIJUANA seeds to sprout as well. But more of a darker warm area. Like inside a drawer closest to a window where some heat gets through
Someone told me to douse them in cinnamon to keep them from molding.. and I just throw mine in the cabinet above my stove for the warmth. Mine never see daylight until they get planted.
So I have sprouted avocados before, like this. My problem is I live in Colorado so we have cold seasons, I live in a high desert so we also get hot summers, once they get to be strong enough to be outside will they survive here? I love avocados!
Hi Scott, I live in southern England and have tried to germinate avocado seeds many times and in many ways as described on youtube, sadly with no joy! i want to give your paper towel method ago and hopfully i will have success!! can you just confirm one thing? i have always used supermarket avocados which arrive refigerated and we continue to staore in the same way. Would i have more success with fresh avocados from a grocer which are not refrigerated? cheers in advance for any help, Dave
Tried it out too and wow, it does work. Same method, kept it dark in cupboard. Looked up and then what he/she is doing and *bang*. Still wait a bit longer until I put it in soil. Experience shows, they grow real high. So, do I need to cut them down on the stem somewhere if they become too high ?
I started half a dozen of seeds with this method today, if you're curious about updates and read this comment a few weeks or months after I sent it, just reply, I'll get a notification and tell ya 💚
@@ScottGrowsanAvocadoTree as it'll take some time, I don't know if I'll remember by the time they germinate but that would be nice as I tried different methods : half are peeled and half unpeeled, similarly to the avocado experience. On a scale that won't mean anything really, but I'm still curious as it didn't cover the bag method! Thank you for this channel btw, it really helps sudden avocado enthusiasts 😆🥑💚
@@ScottGrowsanAvocadoTree Out of the 6 seeds, 5 have germinated : all three skinless were faster and the two germinated who still have their skin went slower
Scott, This works..! (in northern California) dont know when? checked at end of 10 days "1-inch Sprout" but nut has spilt in 2 half's, Wondering if I even need loose 1/2 with-out Sprout? WelderX
I usually do the water and toothpick method but I tried this method and it worked. However, something weird happened, the leaves on the stem are really thick and white. Almost succulent like in thickness. I’ve never seen that before. Is that normal? It seems to be growing fine still but it’s odd.
Ty dear Scott for this wonderful tips. I'm a new subbie. Got QS for you. 1. Can I use damp clothes? 2.Can I just plant the seed right away or put it in the water? You would have mentioned it in your vid but the enquirer mind wants to know.
This most recent new moon, I opened an avocado and there was basically a little tree inside. The seed was split, the roots are long and there was a little green shoot up top. I put it in water and let the roots dangle. The sprout is slightly longer and fatter but it's tip is dark. Is my little tree sick, or is this normal? Also, the pit has always been wrinkly. Like a walnut. It is the strangest thing.
I wanted to ask this question so like it’s the summer right now and it’s pretty hot outside and my house has Air conditioning so no where in my house was actually warm and I put the seeds in my closet with a small blanket around it not on top but like to keep it warm does that still work?
I did this but left them in the baggie too long so now I have roots and shoots and they're all twisted. Some shoots are pointing down with the roots coming up and another has the roots wrapped up around the shoot. I detangled them, but how do I plant them in soil with shoots growing down and roots growing up, without burying the shoot?? Please help!
I put cinnamon on EVERY seed I germinate. Especially the citrus fruit seeds such as lemon, lines, oranges, and grapefruit. Also wont hurt to put on peach, apple, and plum seeds too.
You beat me to it! th-cam.com/video/kTFhnFOvHq8/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps :) so long as it's not dead - you could try it with this method. Good luck!
So I have 3 seeds that I put in a plastic bag between moist paper towel and I left it in the fridge for the first 3 weeks by accident (don’t ask😂) I took it out immediately after watching your video again and put them on top of the fridge, you think they’re still okay ?🥲

I did your recommendation for all five of my avocado seeds 6 weeks ago. I just peeked and ALL five are rooting! Thank you so much 😊

Hola cuanto tiempo necesita para llevarlo ala tierra o maceta?

Thanks for sharing, Alec! I can imagine the heat from the light would have been very helpful in getting that germination going.

This video was extremely helpful. Very in depth but In an engaging way!
I am using Avocado as motivation to build muscle. All is hard work, time and patience.

Thank you! I’m going to try this way! God bless you🌺
Loved the video! Ive grown 4 plants this way... thank you for sharing!
just found your channel after wondering if i could use this avocado seed for anything! your channel is so cute!!!
Hi Scott I found your fun channel during lockdown with the kiddos!
Do keep from going insane we began growing stuff avocado included!
Buuuuuut we also discovered prop-boxes and the magical spahgaum moss & perlite !
I’ll leave the rest for you to perhaps make another video on!
Hint hint 😉
Thanks for your kind words!
Ah, leave it with me ;)

I use a toilet paper roll, paper towel and a plastic fruit container that I got my strawberries in. Worked beautifully
Very nice to knowc!know!, thanks for sharing Scott
I use a different way but almost the same by using a glass can with paper towel to germinate my tomatoe seeds....works perfect !
It’s a similar principle ☺️🪴
I do same with avocado.
Was that epsom soil mix?
He cud have quickly mentioned what he finds helpful.
Thank you for the video! So helpful. Just started my avo growing journey. 😀 How often do you have to water the seed when it’s still in the paper towel
Is it possible to form an avocado into bush like plant? You do a great job!! Thanks
Yep yup! You just do it the same way you do any other tree by topping it 👌🏾
This is also how you get MARIJUANA seeds to sprout as well. But more of a darker warm area. Like inside a drawer closest to a window where some heat gets through
Woow your video seem to informative how does the avocado tree take to produce fruit? I hope its nor ten years
Going to try this method! Thanks!
Have fun!
Someone told me to douse them in cinnamon to keep them from molding.. and I just throw mine in the cabinet above my stove for the warmth. Mine never see daylight until they get planted.

Big up to the hair effort

nice i just planted my avocado seeds and using this method except i put them in a dark place like my drores
So once the root pops thru, which way does the root go into the dirt? Was that root up?
Great video thanks! Love the magic! 🪴
Thank you for the kind words!! ☺️🥑🪴
I started half a dozen of seeds with this method today, if you're curious about updates and read this comment a few weeks or months after I sent it, just reply, I'll get a notification and tell ya 💚

How long can I keep growing my plant hydroponically?
I usually do the water and toothpick method but I tried this method and it worked. However, something weird happened, the leaves on the stem are really thick and white. Almost succulent like in thickness. I’ve never seen that before. Is that normal? It seems to be growing fine still but it’s odd.
Do you think this method of seed germination will work for other seeds? Thanks in advance.
Same result with just water in the ziploc inside window in the sun. Also the peep, comes off much easier if the seed is soaked.
Ty dear Scott for this wonderful tips. I'm a new subbie. Got QS for you. 1. Can I use damp clothes?
2.Can I just plant the seed right away or put it in the water? You would have mentioned it in your vid but the enquirer mind wants to know.
What else can I use as an alternative if I don’t own toothpicks ?
This most recent new moon, I opened an avocado and there was basically a little tree inside. The seed was split, the roots are long and there was a little green shoot up top. I put it in water and let the roots dangle. The sprout is slightly longer and fatter but it's tip is dark. Is my little tree sick, or is this normal? Also, the pit has always been wrinkly.

Sir, is having artifial light while you germinate ur seeds? Or can be germinate without the presence of light or u germinate it indoors?
Which one is good planting an ovacado from seeds or a grafted one?
Granted ones can bear fruit faster than of those planted from seeds. However, the seed ones can live longer than of those grafted ones.
I had one germinated inside an avocado before I cut it open. I regret not planting it.
How many of you put cinnamon powder to wet towel? I read it has antibacterial properties and prevents the appearance of mold
I put cinnamon on EVERY seed I germinate. Especially the citrus fruit seeds such as lemon, lines, oranges, and grapefruit. Also wont hurt to put on peach, apple, and plum seeds too.
How many days to open the plastic cover?
Oh my ! Couldn't focus on reason I came to this channel. ( after thouse locks that's all I saw)😉
Sara, you’re too kind 🥰💁🏼♀️
So once it sprouts, I pot it?? Or do I keep it longer on the towel? (Seed is splitting in half)
Seed should split in half plant it in soil
What happens if the germinating seed is put into a cold spot?
it started off ok but my question is why would you us a curling wand on your hair
It was actually a flat iron.
Do these seeds ever produce any Avocados? People have been telling me the store bought ones won’t ever produce avocados.
I made a video discussing this question in detail: th-cam.com/video/gFRW-LiP8RY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1a11eZ09veYiNdjI
Grows if it was o day in frige?
Yes
Dang it, was I not suppose zip close the bag all the way?
Please how do I know if my seeds are not going to sprout?
Also how long does it take for a grafted ovacado tree to mature & bear fruits, compared to a tree planted from seeds
You want a grafted avo tree anyway, the seed you won’t know what kind of avocado you’ll get.
Tomorrow will be my sister's birthday on 4th of July
Because mine just crack a week ago one more week till I grow it
I did it and mine got moldy. 😅😢 idk what I did wrong.
@@AthumiaBM thank you
Sorry I meant this week
Hi, for how long did you keep them in the plastic?
He said 4 months but 2-3 is enough too
Will 6 more days
did i hear over 4 months
Actually it takes 2 weeks in wet tissue and ziploc bag
2 weeks to sprout ? just 2?
u said wait a few weeks of time than 4 months later ur opening the ziplock? 4 months to germinate UMH
wat ? 4 months ? I got few grown with like 6-8 leaves in less than 2
Decent video...bu Do you really curl your hair? Lol
Can you use seeds you’ve had for a while that haven’t worked and try again? Or should I use a new seed:) how can you tell if they’re dead🥲
Oh wow just saw all your videos!
You beat me to it! th-cam.com/video/kTFhnFOvHq8/w-d-xo.html
Hope this helps :) so long as it's not dead - you could try it with this method. Good luck!
hey dude inbox me would like to know more
So I have 3 seeds that I put in a plastic bag between moist paper towel and I left it in the fridge for the first 3 weeks by accident (don’t ask😂) I took it out immediately after watching your video again and put them on top of the fridge, you think they’re still okay ?🥲
One has a dark spot and another has little black dots 🥲
