Take the seed of the inside and put toothpicks in it. Place them half way from the top with same distance in between. Put the seed in a cup with water to be dimpled and soaked in inch water. See the image below for the toothpicks. The seed can soak for even 6 weeks and away from sun. now at this time you will see sprouting roots. When the stem is 6 inches, cut it to 3. Allow the roots to become thick and grow faster and more.
fill 10 inch diameter pot with good soil. Put the seeds in the small hole in the soil center and make sure the roots are half exposed. For more drainage, use terra cotta pot. The soil must be moist all times and water it a lot. If the leaves get yellow color or fall down, let the seed become dry and keep with the watering but less now. If the leaves are brown and dry, the avocado needs more water. Put the pot in the sink and let water flow.
3. Enjoy the fruit
This is it! The final stage. Keep watering the fruit and you can see nice avocado shape but be patient.
