If you didn’t already know, avocados have an impressive amount of health benefits and have been taking the health-conscious community by storm. Avocados are packed with essential vitamins, such as potassium, vitamin B5, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin E – the list literally goes on. They are also a great source of fiber and have even been linked to share a similar fatty acid found in olive oil known to be “heart healthy”.
This superfood has continued to rise in popularity thanks to its versatility in the kitchen. Avocados can be easily incorporated into any dish for a splash of color or as a substitute for less-healthy choices without losing any of its flavor.
Peaked your interest? You can also enjoy your own home-grown avocados, without needing an entire backyard, in just a few easy steps.
1. Sprout Your Avocado Seed

Keep the your seed somewhere warm and away from direct sunlight. Let it soak for about 2 to 6 weeks, or until you begin to see roots and a stem sprout.
Once the stem has reached 6 inches long from your seed, cut it back to about 3 inches. Wait for more leaves to grow and the roots to thicken.
2. Time to Plant!

Pro tip: Get a terra-cotta pot with a hole in the bottom to ensure plenty of drainage.
You should water your avocado seed regularly and generously, taking care to keep your soil moist without over-saturation. If you notice that the leaves have begun to turn yellow or droop, give your avocado seed some time to dry out and resume watering with a smaller amount. If you notice that that the leaves have begun to turn brown and dry, you might not be watering your plant enough. Set the pot in your sink and gently run water through it for a few moments, taking care to fully drain your plant.
3. Enjoy the Fruits of Your Labor!
You did it!
Keep on water and tending to your perfect indoor avocado tree and you’ll start to see some avocado fruits forming.
