Avocado seedlings: Growing tips

Remember that avocado trees 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 it in a non-lawn area and away from sidewalks and, if you can plant it in a spot protected from wind and frost.
The avocado 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 trees 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 tree, soak the soil well, and then allow it to dry out somewhat before watering again.
