I would like to grow an avacode plant from a seed I removed from as avacode. How do I do this? Sue

Wash your seed in warm water to remove all the pulp. Cut off the pointed end of the seed and insert the broad end into a water-filled jar. To support, press three toothpicks into the top of the seed. Add enough warm water to cover about half an inch of the seed. Place the glass out of direct sun, adding water to compensate for evaporation. The seed should sprout in two to six weeks. When the main stem is about six to eight inches high cut it back to about half size. This forces branches to form. When the roots are good and thick and the stem is leafed out, it is ready for potting. Be careful not to injure the roots while potting. Use a rich soil like an African Violet potting mix.

Thank-you for yhis information. I have a question. I wasn't patient enough to wait for the rooting pross so I planted it in soil before it sprouted. will I be able to expect my avacado seed to grow? I planted it in good soil. If so, How long will it be before my plant will show above the soil?
