Indoor Avocado

December 7th, 2007

The botanical name - Реrsеа americana. Laurel family.

Now the avocado is widely cultivated in tropics and subtropics, including the south of the Black Sea coast in the Caucasus.

Avocado is not an indoor plant, but it can be easily grown from a stone. For some years a sapling before your eyes will grow up to 1 m height. In room conditions an avocado does not blossom and, accordingly, does not fructify.

Plant a stone with its blunt end in a mix of wet peat and ground haydite, the sharp end should be visible above a surface of the ground. It is better to start it in the spring. Cover a pot with a glass or a polyethylene package to keep an increased humidity of air, and place on a stray sun light or artificial illumination in a warm place with a temperature 18°С. Sprouts appear within a month.
