I saw in one blog that when the avocado seedling had grown to about 6 to 7 inches, you would need to cut it the stem to 3 inches. This would allow the roots to grow well and develop strong and thicker stem. Well, I'm going to try this. I have pruned the seedlings which I have grown in water. One seedling was pruned with about 3 leaves left. Another seedling had its stem trimmed down with no leave on the stem. I'm going to see whether it will grow better or not.

Did it work? How is your avocado seedling now?
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy, it works and the avocado seedlings are growing well. I have already done another round of pruning. Just remember to change the water regularly.
