It has excellent properties that help protect and improve our health, being rich in vitamins such as A, C and B, and nutrients such as folic acid and potassium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, avocado helps reduce cholesterol and triglycerides, improve eyesight, optimize the functioning of the heart and digestive system. In short, there are a thousand and one reasons to eat more avocados, but only one obstacle: they are very expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The avocado is imported from distant countries and this journey, in addition to being negative for the environment, also affects the final cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is precisely for this reason that we explain to you&nbsp;<strong>how to plant an avocado tree in a pot<\/strong>&nbsp;at home. It&#8217;s certainly not easy, but the results will be truly excellent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can I grow avocado?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, you must choose a place on the terrace or in the garden&nbsp;<strong>well exposed to the sun<\/strong>&nbsp;: the avocado likes sunlight and is essential for its growth. If you don&#8217;t have a patio or garden, choose a spot near a window to grow avocados at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid cold climates or places with very low minimum temperatures which are harmful to the avocado tree. As for the soil, make sure it is rich in nutrients and has a low pH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to plant an avocado tree in a pot?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Get an&nbsp;<strong>avocado seed<\/strong>&nbsp;, wash it well and insert three toothpicks to create a support that can keep it hanging above a jar filled with water. This will allow the roots of the avocado tree to grow and strengthen in order to support the weight of the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Place the pot in a well-ventilated, sunny location. Once the plant&#8217;s stem has grown and reached a height of 15 centimeters, cut it back to leave about 7 centimeters. By doing this, the stem will become stronger, more roots and new leaves will grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as the first leaves appear,&nbsp;<strong>the plant can be put in a pot<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remove the toothpicks from the seed and place the plant in a pot filled with potting soil. Cut off the leaves when the stem is more than 6 inches tall. Leaves that exceed 30 centimeters in height should be cut off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technique for making avocado fruit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The tree will start to grow and the next step is to wait for it to bear fruit (this takes about 5 or 6 months). However, avocado trees&nbsp;<strong>do not bear fruit easily<\/strong>&nbsp;and it can take years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good technique you can use to speed up this process is to perform a graft. A side cut is made to the plant to grow more stems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to&nbsp;<strong>water the avocado tree frequently<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Avocado is one of the most nutritious and delicious fruits.
