Avocado plant stem - bitten off

Priya Dj

Hey all


I have 2 avocado plants - grown from pits, indoors and just a year old. With the weather getting better, I moved them outside in their containers. It has been a week and they are outside day and night and sprouted new leaves too.


To my utter shock this morning I found one of the plants totally cut off at the stem. Just the pit and roots remain in the pot now. A night creature had unleashed havoc in my backyard with most of my seedings plucked out of earth or bit off at the stem.


I am most concerned for my avocado though. Both the plants were a year old, grown indoors and mean a lot to me. So my question to the avocado experts is this - will my avocado regrow (the entire stem that grew from the pit - roughly a foot long, has been bitten off)? Or should I consider it dead?


Looking forward to all your comments.

Thanks in advance, means a lot to me.
