Growing anavocado stone
I suspended an avocado stone in a glass of water a while ago and now it has a long root growing from the bottom. What do I do now?? Leave it alone or plant it in a pot of compost? Help!!
Re: Growing anavocado stone
I've grown one or two stones on in John Innes No 1 which was the standard stuff at the time. I got rather leggy feeble plants that were nothing to write home about, though in truth I don't know what they're supposed to do.

Re: Growing anavocado stone
You can try potting it up, but I'd be inclined to throw it out & start again with one planted in a pot of compost, only the bottom half buried, point uppermost, they grow much better like that
If you pot it only half bury it
I found pinching out the tip, once you've got a stem with a growing point to pinch, helped keep them from getting too leggy
I suspect Hass have nicer foliage than the other kinds of avo
