I started an avacado seed the other day and was wondering how long it should take to sprout if it does? I have never been successful in the past and avacadoes were on sale so I thought I would try again...

I started it in a glass of water. I didn't know you could put it in dirt. When you put it in dirt do you totally cover up the seed? In the water I left part of the seed out of the water and I guess it is the skin covering the seed--it has started to shrivel up. Thanks for responding...Connie

I always start mine in water and add a little water each day due to evaporation. I stick three toothpicks around the seed, half way down, so the seed is not totally emerged in the water. When the sprout is about three inches tall, I snip it to encourage more branching out. I plant it in soil when the roots are starting to crowd the glass. Just cover all but the very top of the seed where the growth starts.
Walk in Peace and Harmony.
