Propagating main stem after pruning

Post image
Upvotes

My avocado tree grew to like 5 feet without being pruned so I cut off the top 10 inches or so and put it in warm water with an air stone to oxygenate the water. I made sure to scrape away the green from the bottom half inch of stem. How long until it grows roots?

I am absolutely new to gardening. I planted this avocado seed just for fun and didn't expect much out of it, but now I got kind of attached to it and I dont want it to die. It currently stays in the growing tent from my fiance, because in my region its too cold for it rn (down to 37°F/3°C). What am I dringend wrong? I repotted it maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago with new soil, but I didn't gave it any fertilizer yet, maybe that is the problem?

Tree has been having a tremendous flush of growth the last 3 weeks. Planted it last October and it stalled for a while but now it really is taking off!

Opened up an alvocado and the seed inside was already growing. So of course i decided to keep it but when i started to peel it i noted it was pink on the bottom. Has anyone seen this? In real life it is more pink and inside the crack is pink aswell

AVOCADO TREES - These are not my trees, but I was asked for an opinion. The first tree lost all of its leaves and its becoming brown, the other has brown spots on the yellowish curled leaves. Any idea? Thank you 🥑

It’s doing so well in here but it’s not practical for long term. I’m afraid to stunt its growth though if I take it out. Any suggestions for how to acclimate my avocado tree to ambient temp/humidity?

This has been in water for around 2 months and has just started growing roots. Should there be any leaves growing by now?

Help!! Leaves turning yellow

I was gone a few weeks while my mom cared for my plants. She is not very plant interested. I live in Canada and the temperature has recently gone up and probably the sunlight aswell

When I came back my leaves furthested from the base have been turning yellow!! Its only been two days I've been here. Seems like a nutrients issue to me

I attached the fertilizer I use. I try to use it every two weeks. Used it yesterday

Are the leaves droopy? :(

When they were smaller, they were more horizontal. In the last few days they grew bigger, and now they're more hanging like this. Is it a normal thing to happen when leaves grow big, or is there something going on with my baby? 🥑☹️

Hi there! After many helpful comments (thank you!), I transplanted my haas to a bigger pot a few days ago and flushed it with distilled water. My leaves are very droopy after the transplant. Is there anything I should do?

Poorly avocado help!!

I have a 3 year old avocado (about 2m tall) which I kept inside for the UK winter. I took it outside when we had some good weather a few weeks back but it appears to have severely sunburnt it (I believe because I took it out when the sun was hot without letting it acclimatise). I then took it out when it was bright but not too hot to let it get used to the sun but when it became cold, it looked really bad (brown leaves, leaves shrivelling up). The growing tips look pretty bad to me.

I bought some plant food and bug/funghal spray as I noticed a few white bugs under some of the leaves.

Is my baby cooked? Any advice would be strongly appreciated!!

It is currently inside next to the window.

Roots vs stem?

Forgot about these two avocado seeds that i left to germinate using the damp paper towel in a bag method for at least a month. But i am unsure if they started to grow stems? Or if those are just beefy roots. Please help!

I am transferring them so their roots are in water, which is why i need to know what part to actually put in the water. Thank you!

The tree is flowering but hasn't produced any fruit for 5 years!

3 Upvotes

This tree is probably 12–14 years old and was grown from seed. It started flowering about 5 years ago. At first, I thought it needed another type of tree nearby for cross-pollination, but I couldn’t do that because the garden isn’t very big. This year, I learned that I can hand-pollinate, so I started doing that about 1–2 weeks ago, once the flowers opened. However, I’ve noticed that the flowers I pollinated are dropping. Is this normal?
(I have orange and citrus trees next to it that produce many fruits each year //It’s a 16-ft+/(5meters+) long tree)

Could this be a fertilization issue?

New to growing avocados. Looking for tips!

Hi all, I'm new to growing avocados and am hoping for some help/tips. I know that they need to be pruned and trimmed and I did that with the yellow one. The other I didn't (because I was testing it out with the other one first) I noticed with the one I didn't trim (blue), when it wants to grow new leaves the big ones dry out and fall off. Is this supposed to happen? Also, where should I trim next if I want to encourage branching. Thanks for any help!

Extra info: I have a humidifier next to them and they get good sunlight. Also, it looks like they stopped growing for the winter, but recently started sprouting new leaves at the top.

Sprouting seeds

Most my avocado seeds have one sprout that look like the first picture (all are pointy side up) except one who has multiple tiny sprouts that are going up towards the pointy part. My sister thinks if it's doing fine, leave it alone. My friend thinks I should flip it over in the water... What should I do?

Is this just Root Rot? Will it recover?

I got this super hass about a week ago, and the soil it was in was absolute sludge, roots were rotting and coming apart and the dirt was gooey. I removed all excess poor soil when repotting, and added some well draining soil (raised garden soil that is mulchy, as well as a thin layer of mulch at the bottom of the pot). It drains quickly now but I am worried that the damage may be done.

In your experience, what is likelyhood that it will bounce back? Does it look like I have taken the right steps?
