Growth and Care Tip

• Remember that tropical avocado seedling do best at moderately warm temperatures (60 F to 85 F) with moderate humidity.
• If you plant during the summer, there is always the risk of sun damage, because avocado trees don’t absorb water very well when they’re young.
• Plant the tropical avocado seedling in a non-lawn area and away from sidewalks and, if you can plant it in a spot protected from wind and frost.
• The tropical avocado seedling root system is very sensitive, and great care should be taken not to disturb it when transplanting.
• If the tree is root-bound, however, loosen up the soil around the edges and clip the roots that are going in circles.
• Avocado seedlings like the soil’s pH around 6 to 6.5.
• Trees typically need to be watered two to three times a week.
• As the roots reach out into the bulk soil, more water can be applied and the frequency of watering can diminish to about once a week after a year.
• When watering the tropical avocado seedling, soak the soil well, and then allow it to dry out somewhat before watering again.
