There are a few ways to grow an avocado seed. The easiest and most popular way is to plant the seed on top of soft soil, water it well, and wait for the little sprout to pop up.

Another method is to plant the avocado seed in a container with coarse sand and wait for it to sprout. This process can take anywhere from two weeks to six months or more depending on the climate.

The third method is to use a hydroponic system containing ingredients such as vermiculite, perlite, and peat moss which hold moisture within the soil and enable faster growth of an avocado seed compared with planting it into gritty soil.

How to grow an avocado from seed indoors

Avocado seedlings are rather easy to grow indoors, as long as you know the right conditions.

First, you’ll need an avocado pit. This could be purchased from a grocery store or found in your backyard.

Next, obtain some soil and fill a pot with it until it is about 3-4 inches deep. Fill the pot with water and place the avocado pit into the center of the soil.

Once you have planted your avocado seeds, set your pot near a window so they can get plenty of sunlight and keep it watered throughout the day.

How long for avocado seed to sprout?

The length of time it takes for an avocado seed to sprout varies depending on the time of year and what type of soil is used.

The WIAS also found that when the soil has a pH value between 6.5-7, it will take around 5 weeks for avocado seeds to germinate. But if the soil has a pH value lower than 6, then it might take around 3 weeks before an avocado plant sprouts up from its seedling.
