Avocado seedlings: Planting requirements

• Light: Full, indirect sun
• Humidity: Moderate to high
• Soil: Do not dry out
• Fertilizer: Preferably 7-9-5
• Shape: Pinch back top leaves to encourage new side shoots
• Room temperature: 60° to 85°F (16° to 30°C)

Avocado plant care

• Keep your avocado plant in a warm, sunny location.
• Water frequently with an occasional deep soak. Keep plant moist but not overly saturated. As with most plants, make sure the soil drains well.
• Pinch the stem back every time your plant grows another six inches or so, in order to encourage a bushier appearance.
• If you live in a warm enough climate, plant your tree outside once it is big enough.

Avocado seedlings: Growing tips

• Remember that avocado trees do best at moderately warm temperatures (60 F to 85 F) with moderate humidity.
• If you plant during the summer, there is always the risk of sun damage, because avocado trees don’t absorb water very well when they’re young.
• Plant it in a non-lawn area and away from sidewalks and, if you can plant it in a spot protected from wind and frost.
• The avocado root system is very sensitive, and great care should be taken not to disturb it when transplanting.
• If the tree is root-bound, however, loosen up the soil around the edges and clip the roots that are going in circles.
• Avocado trees like the soil’s pH around 6 to 6.5.
• Trees typically need to be watered two to three times a week.
• As the roots reach out into the bulk soil, more water can be applied and the frequency of watering can diminish to about once a week after a year.
• When watering the tree, soak the soil well, and then allow it to dry out somewhat before watering again.
