Avocado is one of the most nutritious and delicious fruits. It has excellent properties that help protect and improve our health, being rich in vitamins such as A, C and B, and nutrients such as folic acid and potassium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, avocado helps reduce cholesterol and triglycerides, improve eyesight, optimize the functioning of the heart and digestive system. In short, there are a thousand and one reasons to eat more avocados, but only one obstacle: it’s very expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The avocado is imported from very distant lands, and this journey, in addition to being negative for the environment, also affects the final cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is precisely for this reason that we explain to you how to plant an avocado tree in a pot<\/strong> at home. It’s certainly not easy, but the results will be truly excellent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You must first choose a place on the terrace or in the garden well exposed to the sun<\/strong> : the avocado likes sunlight and is essential for its growth. If you don’t have a patio or garden, choose a spot near a window to grow avocados at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Avoid cold climates or places with very low minimum temperatures which are harmful to the avocado tree. As for the soil, make sure it is rich in nutrients and has a low pH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Get an avocado seed<\/strong> , wash it well, and insert three toothpicks to create a support that can hold it suspended above a jar filled with water. This will allow the roots of the avocado tree to grow and strengthen in order to support the weight of the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Place the pot in a well-ventilated, sunny location. Once the plant’s stem has grown and reached a height of 15 centimeters, cut it back to leave about 7 centimeters. By doing this, the stem will become stronger, more roots and new leaves will grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As soon as the first leaves appear, the plant can be put in a pot<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remove the toothpicks from the seed and place the plant in a pot filled with potting soil. Cut off the leaves when the stem is more than 6 inches tall. Leaves that exceed 30 centimeters in height should be cut off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tree will start to grow and the next step is to wait for it to bear fruit (this takes about 5 or 6 months). However, avocado trees do not bear fruit easily<\/strong> and it can take years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A good technique you can use to speed up this process is to perform a graft. A side cut is made to the plant to grow more stems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember to water the avocado tree frequently<\/strong> .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Avocado is one of the most nutritious and delicious fruits.
