Avocado pits sprouting

9 years ago

Avocado was never on radar, so I never researched anything about it except may be recipes.


I found three avocado pits sprouting/germinating in one of the container when I was replacing the soil. My belief is these are leftovers from my vermicompost that worms did not digest. I have one large bin of worms and normally don't bother to sift, just rake the contents from bottom of the bin and use it.


All the sprouts were under cover and never surfaced. One looks slightly brown and other two look somewhat healthy. I found a long root on one pit, more than 6 inches long. I have tried to rescue and move them to smaller containers for the time being where I can care for them.


I have started researching/googling about avocado growing, but figure that word of more experience community here is more important than random results on google. Essentially looking for tips to convert these pits to plants and hopefully grow them in a container as I don't have space for avocado plant.


Can avocado plant grown from pits, actually grow the avocados, will it be relatively happy in a container

Please share any advice
