Is it possible to grow avocado at home? This question often arises from lovers of this exotic tropical fruit. It should be noted that culture is a large fruit tree and is small adapted for growing at home. Avocado in the garden can reach a height of 20 m, in the rooms without a special formation of the crown grows in the form of a shrub with a weakly desirable long barrel and not very decorative. In addition, avocado at home does not bloom and does not be fruit.

Nevertheless, indoor exotic lovers attract the opportunity to grow avocado tree at home, as it is easily multiplied by seeds. As a result, an evergreen decorative tree can be obtained, with favorable conditions and proper care it grows up to 2.5 m and forms a fairly magnificent crown, moreover, it perfectly cleans the air indoors.

How to grow avocado at home correctly, so that the plant becomes a real interior decoration? To do this, it is enough to plant a bone, wait for her germination and get a seedling, it is important to know the biological peculiarities of avocado, care at home must necessarily take them into account.

The rooms are divorced by the most part of the Persian American, i.e. the representative of the Mexican race. Buy the finished seating material in the store is difficult, but to plant avocado at home can be bone taken from the mature fetus purchased in the store.

The reproduction of stalling is also used, but it is extremely rare, because even after the treatment of sections, substances that stimulate the root formation, the survival rate of cuttings is small.

The advantages of the plant include the fact that an instance grown from the seed retains signs of the parent variety. With seed reproduction, the bone should be fresh, taken from a well-ridden fetus, the timing of her germination varies from 1 month to six months. The landing is produced in spring in pots with a diameter of 9 to 15 cm, in which there must be several holes in the bottom for draining excess water.

Used loose, well absorbing moisture soil preferably with a neutral reaction. It is unacceptable to keep and seal the soil, because due to the peculiarities of the root system, the roots need to provide unhindered access of air.

In detail how to plant avocado at home, using a bone, told above.

When choosing a place for a pot with a plant, they take into account that avocado is light-cuply, but at the same time it takes out a half, straight sun rays can cause burns on the leaves. It develops well around the northern window, but prefers bright light with shading at nozzled clock. For optimal growth of wood in the fall and in winter it is highlighted using fluorescent lamps for this, or special phytolambuses.

Avocado is a representative of a tropical flora, so it is thermal lodge, in the summer requires high temperature, in a temperate climate, it is even not recommended to be taken out into the garden or a balcony. In winter, the plant may be contained at 18-20 ° C, in this case it develops without a pronounced rest period. In the case of cold wintering, at 10-12 ° C, the tree resets the leaves that will appear only in the spring. Avocado can winter and in the unheated winter garden, provided that the temperature is not lowered there below 5 ° C, and is provided with rare watering.

Plants are watered with warm water, watering mode depends on the time of year. In the spring-summer period, it is abundant, but without overwhelming, after dried up the top layer of the substrate. In winter, the surface of the soil should be dry for 1-2 days. The lower the temperature of the wintering, the less awesome avocado in the pot.

Avocado is very sensitive to air humidity, needs regular spraying of water temperature, especially in winter in central heating. It is recommended to moisturize the leaves, but the space around the tree, or use the special humidifier. You can also install a pot on a pallet with a wet moss-sphagnum or clay, follow the vessel's bottom of the vessel in water.

At home, avocado is fed only during the period of active vegetation, in spring and summer, using a periodicity of 1-2 weeks of complex mineral fertilizers or special compositions for citrus crops. In the autumn-winter time, feeding stops.

Mandatory treatment of a plant with a decorative appearance is cropping. Without her avocado, the house is drawn up, in its rarefied Crown there are few branches, the general view of the bush is unattractive. To stimulate branching young plants, the tip is plotted over 8 sheets. This causes an enhanced growth of side twigs, which in turn also pour, but after 5 or 6 sheets. Pruning is recommended in the spring. If this procedure is done earlier, with the beginning of intensive growth in early spring, unwanted shoots will appear on the trunk. With regular trimming, you can form a tree with a lush splashing crown.

Avocado refers to fast-growing cultures, so plants should be regularly transplanted in the container of larger size. The first time it is moved to a more spacious pot after a seedlove reaches a height of 10-15 cm. In the future, the plants are transferred with a lore of land into large containers with a periodicity of 1 time per year for young copies, and at least 1 time in 3 years for Adults. The most favorable time for this is spring. The composition of the soil is the same as for planting a bone plant. The tree can grow to large sizes, so it is better for it to provide a large container.

When growing avocado at home, the plant may be amazed by a number of pests and diseases. From pests, the culture suffers from the web ties and the shields. Measures of combating them - improving air humidity, by spraying, manual removal of insects with soap solutions, and last time - processing insecticides (actar). Highly affected branches better remove.

Domestic avocado diseases are most often caused by care errors. Fallen and drying leaves provokes excessive watering, drafts, low water water temperature.

Especially suffering from dry air, in this case, first tips, and then completely leaves become brown and even fall.

The same result gives a lack of water. In order to avoid such problems, it is necessary to observe the irrigation regime, without stopping and not overcoating the plant, as well as, especially in winter, when the central heating is turned on, increase the humidity of the air, regularly spraying the treated with warm water or placing it on the pallet with sphagnum, wet clay.

Lack of lighting causes discoloration of leaves. In this case, you need to move the pot closer to the window or use additional backlight. To larger lighting, the plant is better to teach gradually, especially if it was in a shaded place for a long time.

Avocado's common disease is also malievable dew. With the appearance of characteristic signs, the tree should be immediately treated with the corresponding fungicide, for example, to topaz.

How to grow avocado bone

Almost all indoor plant fans unites "one, but fiery passion" - growing at home the most exotic and unexpected crops, using the scene bone as a seed material purchased in the store. On the windowsill such experimenters, such tropical guests like orange, lemon, grenades, mandarin are successfully cultivated. There were no connoisseurs of home exotics with their attention and avocados - one of the most amazing and incredible cultures of the Lavrov family. Despite its tropical origin, avocado is a decorative and very unpretentious plant in caring, perfectly suitable for room growing.

In order for the tropical guest comfortably felt in unusual conditions, it is recommended to get acquainted closer with some features of its character and the basics of agrotechnology.

For landing avocado, a bone is suitable from a high-quality, well-affected fetus purchased in the store. At the same time, it should be noted that the Fruits of avocado comes most often in the stage of technical ripeness, simply put, misunderstood, and bones of them are not suitable for sowing. Ripe avocado has a dense dark green peel (almost black) and a delicate oily flesh of cream-yellow color.

The bone should be accurately removed from the fetus and proceed to its germination, which can be carried out in three ways:

• The easiest way to stretch the Avocado seed is to immediately put it in the ground. From the bones removed the shell and put it in the ground to a depth of 2-2.5 cm. In this case, the stupid wide side of the bone should be lower. Soil throughout the period of germination, it is necessary to regularly moisten, not allowing neither overflow, nor the overworking of an earthen coma that can lead to the death of germinating seed.
• Very interesting and unusual "open" method of germination. To do this, in the shell of bones around the circle with the help of a thin drill, 3-4 small holes are made at an angle of 140-160 °. The diameter of each hole should not exceed 1.5-2 mm. Match or toothpicks are inserted into the holes, and on such improvised struts, the resulting design is fixed on a small transparent container (a glass or wine gland). It is poured into the container boiled or resistant water so that the bone is in it approximately half. Behind the water level should be followed and as evaporation to top up to the desired mark. The germination of the sobby bone can take from 3-5 days to three weeks. The sign of its awakening will be the appearance of a noticeable crack between the seedlings, after which it is possible to the next stage of work.
• The third way to germination avocado reminds the previous one according to its principle, but when it is used without such difficulties as drilling holes and the structure of the structure of the toothpicks. In this case, the seed from which the shell was previously removed, placed on the bottom of a narrow transparent container so that it was in a vertical position, and gently poured with water until the middle of the bone.

The revived bone is considered ready for sowing after the length of the first roots reach 3.5-4 cm.

The sprout with a reddish tint appears 8-15 days after sowing. However, if the wait is a little delayed, this is not a reason for excitement: the seedlings avocado grow so intensively that the delay is quickly compensated.

Being a fast-growing plant, avocado after the appearance of shoots begins to develop rapidly and violently - up to 1 cm per day. In 90 days, the seedling reaches a height of 50-60 cm. For successful growth, he will be needed:

• compliance with the regime of watering - watering avocado should be moderately, not allowing the accumulation of excessive moisture. During the period of fruiting culture is very demanding of soil moisturizing;
• environment - like any inhabitant of areas with a tropical climate, avocado prefers high humidity around him, so spray a pet from the sprayer is recommended not less than 3-5 times a week;
• support - ensure the plant with full nutrition will help complex mineral fertilizers, which should be made every 1.5-2 weeks. It is recommended to feed the avocado organica to the organica of the Avocado.
• transplantation - As the pet grows, it is transplanted into the capacity of the larger size. The first procedure after sowing is carried out when the height of the seedlings reaches 10-12 cm, the diameter of the pot does not have to be less than 11-13 cm. The soil mixture for transplant is prepared from the turf (2 parts), humor (1 part) and sand (1 part). The optimal time for the procedure is early spring;
• the correct location is to lighting avocado becomes demanding only during the period of fruiting, during the rest of the time the shadowless pet well feels away from direct sunlight, and a long stay on the illuminated windowsill leads to redness of shoots. The temperature at the avocado content should not be lower than + 18 ° C. Best culture feels in tropical temperature indicators - from 25 to 30 ° C.

It is important to remember that in the leaves, peel and bones Avocado contains a dangerous fungicide toxin, so the pet should be placed in places inaccessible to pets and small children.

In nature, avocado is a powerful tree, reaching a height of 18-20 m, with a thick spreaded crown, so at home it should be limited in growth. For this, the trunk escape is cut or pinch at the desired height, thereby stimulating the formation of side branches. After the krone of the tree is attached to the necessary form, the trimming of avocado is sanitary and cosmetic - in the process of the procedure, damaged and old shoots are removed, the krone is being reached in the event of a thickeship. Wounds applied during trimming are delayed extremely quickly.

Small yellow-green autocado flowers, assembled into large inflorescences - panicles, are capable of self-pollution, however, the formation of fruit barriers occurs only after crossing pollination. The flowering of culture, like her fruiting, is very stretched. Avocado grown from the bone, starts fruit only 6-8 years after sowing.

Despite the fact that at home Avocado does not live as long as his tropical conifers, and because of the frequent discharge of leaves sometimes looks rather unattractive from aesthetic point of view, this exotic tree can be safely considered the pride of the flower collection, especially if it is grown from conventional fruit bone.

To successfully grow this culture, the following series of conditions must be observed.

1. Regular watering. The plant is required by watering as the soil drying. As a rule, it is enough to 1-2 times a week. To maintain the optimal humidity of the soil during the cold season, the culture is limited - only 2-3 days after the complete drying of the soil.

With a great desire, you can plant an avocado bone and patiently fulfill all the necessary rules for cultivation and care. What if your dream is embodied in reality, and will you wait for the harvest at home?

How to grow avocado bone

For the cultivation of this unusual overseas plant, there will be necessary to ripe the fruit of avocado. Only the bone of such a fetus has a big chance for germination. This process can be carried out in two ways:

• The first way (closed) is ordinary and simple. Avocado's bone must be stuck in the soil with a wide bottom side of a small depth (approximately 2 centimeters). When creating favorable conditions, it should be increasingly in 30 days.
• The second method (open) interesting and even can be said exotic.

The bone before planting the ground must be germinated in water in a suspended position. First, it needs to be pretty wash and clean. Then approximately in the middle of the bones along the circle line, you need to carefully drill three or four holes, in which then you need to insert thin wooden sticks (for example, matches or toothpicks). They will fulfill the role of support when a wide bottom of the bone is lowered into a container with water. These wands, as the clamps will keep the bone at the height. The main thing is to constantly monitor the amount of water in the tank. The lower part of the bone should always be in the water.

Instead of water to extend the bones of avocado, special polymer granules can be used (). This polymer material can hold a large amount of water for a long time. In this method, it is very convenient, you do not need to monitor the level.

It will take place only 20-30 days, and the first young roots will appear, and then the sprout. The bone will be ready for landing in the ground, when the root length reaches 4 centimeters.

First you need a small flower pot with large holes. The land should not be dense. It needs to be well exploded to provide the necessary air and moisture. The bone is planted into the soil so that two thirds of it are on the surface of the soil. The shell on the bone to delete there is no need.

Location and lighting

Avocado - a light-affilome plant, but also the half-day him. Here from direct sunlight it needs to be protected. If there is a room in your home or apartment, with windows weighing on the west, then such a windowsill will be the perfect place for this fruit.

Temperature

Since the homeland avocado is the tropics, it naturally loves warmth. In the case of a sharp decline in temperature or the slightest draft, the plant will begin to show its discontent - immediately fall off all the leaves. Therefore, even with warm summer weather, it is undesirable to bear it on the street.

And indoors should also be kept constant temperature. In the warm season, a high room temperature will be favorable for avocado, but in the cold winter time it will be enough for 20 degrees of heat.

There are plants and resting period in winter. If the temperature in the room the temperature drops to 12 degrees, then avocado immediately reacts - the leaves will reset and switch to the "hibernation" mode. But with proper care and constant temperature balance, this cannot happen. This tropical plant is considered evergreen.

Polishing rules

Watering avocado in conditions of home maintenance must be regularly and abundantly, but given the temperature indicators and season. Excess watering can harm. In the summer it is watered more often than in winter. After drying the upper layer of the soil, there must be a couple of days before you begin to water the plant. It immediately dries only its upper part, and in a pot inside the pot remains the necessary for avocado moisture.

Air humidity

Humidity of air is of great importance. It is almost always dry air into the room, and this is very harmful to this plant. Daily spraying will help solve the problem. It is very important that during such water procedures only the air was moistened near avocado, but not the plant itself. Even small droplets should not fall on his leaves.

There is another way of moisture - this is a special tray for a potted with moisturized clay.

Feeding and fertilizer

From September to March, the plant in the feeding does not need. But the rest of the time, once a month, avocado must be filled with fertilizer recommended for citrus or any other complex feeding.

Avocado Transplantation

In nature avocado grows up to 20 meters in height. Although at home, it does not make up such heights, but it grows quite actively and requires frequent transplant. Very soon the first small pot will become small for him. As soon as the village grows up to 15 centimeters, it's time to transplant it into a large container. In young age, avocado transplanted every year, and in the future you can once every three years.

Of great importance for the development and growth of the plant has the land in which it grows. Specifically for avocados need any loose and lightweight earth, but not enough. In such a soil, it would be good to add wood ash or dolomite flour.

Replanting the plant into a new pot, use the handling method. Carefully transfer the tree along with the land.

You can prepare the soil mixture useful for avocado. To do this, you will need: peat (or humus), garden land and large river sand. All components need to be mixed in equal parts.

Trimming

This tropical plant at home may well become a decorative decoration of the room. True, there will be a little experience in flower growing. For example, you can grow from the bones of avocado several plants and put them all together into one flower pot. In the meantime, the plants are young and flexible, you can stalk them with a pigtail.

So that the plant does not stretch into height, but acquired a pomp in the form of lateral shoots, it must be quenched. This procedure can be carried out only when there will be a sufficient number of leaflets (at least eight) on the tree. First, the top of the plant is plugged, it contributes to the development of side branches. And after they are enough formed and acquired with their leaves, you can quote them.

Pruning is carried out early in spring. It is necessary to improve the growth and development of the plant, as well as to form the crown you need. It can be absolutely different. It all depends on the fantasy of the flower.

Diseases, pests and other problems

Avocado, like all the room plants, is afraid of the same pests - and. The vorapny web tick is capable not only to destroy all the leaves on the plant, but also can carry various diseases on other indoor flowers. The shield is powered by plant juice. After her appearance, only dry leaves remain. You can fight with such pests by various folk methods or insecticidal drugs.

Among diseases is the main danger to avocado.

In the process of growing, other problems may occur:

Save the tips of the leaves. Causes are not complied with the rules of irrigation (lack of moisture), insufficient air humidity. It is necessary to establish a regular watering (only after drying up the upper layer of the Earth) and moisten the air indoors with spraying.

Fall leaves. Causes - drafts and decrease in air temperature in the apartment. It is necessary to maintain the optimal temperature regime in the room and prevent drafts.

Pallor leaves. Causes are lack of lighting. It is necessary to find a plant suitable place or organize additional (artificial) lighting, especially in winter.

How qualitatively and quickly will go to the "surgnancy" process, as soon as the bone is repeated on the water, it probably depends on the fetus itself. Some previous attempts to grow avocado turned out to be unsuccessful.

Bones were separated. were washed, went into the cups with water to germination, stood weeks, and then for months it was noticeable that they would not get an avocado from such a material. These bones were some too dense. Always one form, similar to heart.

Maybe such a variety, or they need more time. And I rushed them .. and, that's how immediately looking at the fetus when buying it is not possible to determine which form it will be a bone.

How to grow avocado: Procedure

There is an opinion that the avocado does not work beautifully, the aesthetic charms in this plant is not for home conditions. I still did not stop me, I wanted to have a not lonely sad tree, but a beautifully formed palm from several sprouts.

I found out in advance how to beautifully overtake the trunks of young avocado shoots, so that it is so. They can intertwine in different ways - a pigtail of 3 stems or out of 4 and all sorts of different other ways - a spiral, a grid ...

For a start, I decided when it would be possible to grow avocado, a moster of 3 trunks. An ordinary pigtail. Therefore, at once three bones were preparing for the germination at the same time.

Young bone avocado tree

1. Separate bones from the pulp, rinse with cold water from the plaque. From the skin I did not clean.
2. Take small cups. Place bones in it with a narrower end up (each in a separate container), for convenience and stability, you can use toothpicks, slightly punctures in the middle of the bone in three or four places.
3. Pour water into the cups so that the bone of the avocado was in the water half.
4. Follow the water level, to maintain in this way until the roots and sprouts will not be processed from the bone (they themselves break the bone in half).
5. I landed into the ground in a separate pot with already quite well developed, curly roots and sprouts in each of three about 10 cm.
6. The land bought a flower shop for palm trees. At first, nothing needs to additionally feed the plant, it will great and quickly grow from irrigation.

Vase-pot is not needed too large, for increased. If you doubt what size to choose, then it is better to take a smaller than the greater. Better in time, then replant with a grazing bush.

For watering. The air temperature and humidity will also have to be monitored, not fanatically, of course, but it is worth do it, because it will begin to dry the leaves. It is afraid of drafts and cold water, the room temperature is needed for watering. water.

I managed to grow a tree, however, there were problems with drying leaves, although the bustard was then rapidly restored. It is necessary to water it moderately in the warm season, in the winter is much smaller, and the humidity is constantly maintained, I periodically spray and the sprayer. Maybe not quite right, but the leaves fall asleep and stopped stopped.

I have such a house avocado from my bone

Thus, it is possible to grow avocado quickly. For a long time you have to wait for the roots and the first sprouts. Next, it is much faster, the process of magic and turning is visible every day!

Water moderately, in winter, waiting for a complete drying in a pot of soil, and in the summer watering quite abundantly, as soon as the upper layer of the earth is dry. When you can grow avocado, keep in mind that the air should be moisturized for it, for example, with the help of a pulverizer, otherwise the plant will dump dried leaves.
