Part 2/7:
Pot: A 1-gallon nursery pot is recommended, featuring plenty of drainage holes to avoid over-saturation.
Potting Soil: The most basic variety from a local gardening center will suffice. Premium soil is unnecessary for this process.
Fertilizer: Choose a balanced fertilizer like a 6-6-6 or 8-3-9 mix.
Avocado Seed: First, enjoy a delicious avocado to obtain the seed.
Planting Steps
Mix the Soil: Start by filling your pot halfway with potting soil. Get your hands dirty and mix in some fertilizer—this enhances nutrient availability for the seed.
Seed Orientation: Identify the top and bottom of the avocado seed: the concave side is the bottom. Plant it belly button down, buried about two-thirds in the soil.
