Hello, I have been growing this avocado tree for a little over a year, maybe closer to two? It has been growing very leggy and it’s my first ever tree I started from seed. I had no idea that I should’ve been trimming to help it bush more, so two days ago I decided to try just cutting it mostly in half but leaving two nodes(?) I have it on a 12on/12off cycle with RBWhite full spectrum grow lights and since the weather has warmed up it’s been outside more often. Getting full to partial sun for a majority of the day. As for watering I water it once every 2/3 weeks or until the soil is dry. I’m very cautious to ensure it’s not just sitting in wet soil

However, I cut ALL the leaves off instead of leaving one. How bad did I mess up? I’ve started two more pits and I’m trying to propagate the cuttings from this plant.

Also, I now have learned the pit shouldn’t be fully buried as it is with this one. Does that contribute to the leggyness? TIA!

Just over a year ago I sprouted a massive seed. It grew rapidly and while it was still very green and plyable, I made a loop, shaved some of the bark where it touched, and wrapped it in grafting tape. Here are the results.

This is my first attempt at growing an avocado from a seed, and I never expected three years later it would be so big and beautiful. It's lived in 6 different countries in it's short life, it's just thrived no matter what.

To the point that it started to offshoot, and some friends suggested I clip it, and add a little fertilizer. Now clearly I over fertilized because then all the remaining leaves dried out. (I'm not an experienced gardener and feel so terrible about this feck up).

After a month of careful soil maintenance it's finally sprouting again...

My question is what do I do here? Should I just leave it alone, or clip somewhere to encourage growth elsewhere?

EDIT: I'm aware it's not well, I'm asking what can I DO? if anything.

Hello everyone, two weeks ago ig I posted about my avocado growing in water and becoming strange and you suggested me to put in a succulent mix soil. I actually lectured myself more and I tried to do a succulent mix soil with what I have here and I guess there was a good output. I want to do everything DIY when I can I have a lot of plastic bottle so, basing on what I know about avocado roots and how they grow, I tried to do this very long container with plastic bottle filled with soil. What do you think about it, should I change something? Also, during the growth of this tiny avocado I made a mistake with the roots and they grew twisted so I tried with some sticks to make them straight and these sticks are attached to the roots with some string. It is okay to leave the string or should I get rid of them as soon as I change the container next time?

I'm getting the sense that these plants are more resilient than some people give them credit for.

Fingers crossed.

I have two (zone 9b)- one that was 3 feet tall when I bought it, one that was about 12 inches.

The bigger of the two (Mexicola) came in with droopy, burnt leaf tips from whoever propagated it. The smaller (Bacon) looked good and kept its foliage through winter and even a frost event.

The first warm spell hit in March and what I thought was the healthier of the two (small bacon) dropped all its leaves. Meanwhile, the Mexicola dropped all its old leaves and started replacing them with some nice, perky looking growth.

We're a month away from summer, and the twig that was a healthy looking Bacon has just started putting out new leaves.

This is maybe the third or fourth time this has happened, it’ll put out leaves, look all pretty and then the leaves start to brown and until it dies. I can cut the top off and it’ll wait a couple of weeks before doing the same exact thing. It is indoors but it is getting a ton of light. It sits under a grow light in a south facing window and is in well draining soil. I’ve tried not watering it at all and it browns and if I do water it’s usually only once because it doesn’t last long.

(Physical damage is from cat, which is unrelated, cat is new lol)

Thank you!

Hi everyone, i recently found these spots on the lower surface of my avocado plant, what could this be?

Newer leaves seem curly and eaten

I've just transplanted it in a bigger pot

Is it normal for the bees to ignore the flowers, i only see flies on them?

Sir Prize (pretty sure), thought it was going to be alternate bearing, but guess not.

Anyone notice the one fast growing fruit near the end of the video ?

I noticed this dark spots on the leaves, I don't want it to die. Should I plant it? Or what?

The previous owner had stakes on every limb. I removed them and the branches are long but bendy. It's about six years old, growing very quickly, and has given no fruit yet. The tree was grown from seed, and I planted a Reed a few feet away (probably way too close but it gets lots of sun in that area, and I'm in SoCal). This avocado tree is taller than the house now and I wonder where I should trim. Also, should I leave the leaves that are growing at the base alone, to protect the trunk/branches from the sun?

I’ve never tried the toothpick method before but I’m hoping it’ll work out okay because I started him in a paper towel. Do you think i could stick some toothpicks in him and put him in this cup w/ water until he’s a bigger (then he’ll go in a proper pot and soil), or is it too small?

He is just so tiny I don’t have any bottle with a mouth that would fit him so I don’t know what to do.

My one year old avacado is drooping constantly no matter how much i water it or don't water it, i plucked the lower leaves awhile back because they were yellowish, and i check the seed ball, it looked a little rough like they were rotting but they felt very solid so i didn't seperate because I've heard horror stories that other people accidentally disconnecting the seed from the plant and the plant dying. What do I do?

I bought this avocado some time back and was so amazing I've been thinking about it and wondering what it was. Unfortunately I didn't take any photo of the front (bummer). It was sold to me by the seller as "Hass". The inside of the avocado is super clean, you'd think it was grown by Sigma-Aldrich. The taste was stunning, very nutty flavor. Also a delightful creamy texture. It tasted so good I couldn't believe my taste buds. Now no avocado gets even close. I remember the skin being noticeably coarse to cut through. The skin also pebbly but not as rough as a pure Hass. I'm thinking it's a relative of Hass, and leaning towards Lamb Hass based on the photos I've seen online. Any ideas? I'm from Kenya.

Trying to figure out what is wrong with this tree. It looked like this, so I transplanted it to new soil that drains well, but no luck

My 1st avocado tree. I’ve had it for about a month and still not in full sun yet. Repotted after 2 weeks and so far I think it’s doing pretty good. Hopefully in a few years i should see some fruit. This will be a container tree currently in a 7 gallon. SoCal 10b.
