TikTok has made a plant fan viral after she revealed how to grow a beautiful avocado tree.
Brad Canning (from Melbourne) said that this process does not require much maintenance. All you have to do is keep the avocado seeds alive.
The plants will reach a height of about 3-4 inches in a matter of months and then produce large, beautiful leaves that will fill every corner.
Brad is an avocado grower for several years. He has developed a passion for the fast growing process.

Brad used a spoon to remove the seeds from the avocado and then ran the water under the container.
To ensure that the seed doesn’t turn mouldy, he dried it and then peeled the skin off with his fingers.
Brad used a wet paper towel to wrap his seed and then sealed it with a Ziplock bag. This will allow him to monitor the moisture levels and ensure that the seeds germinate.

The seeds should crack after two-three weeks of storage in Ziplock bags. A root will then emerge.
‘Put the root in water and it will start to sprout … be careful though, this it a total addiction,’ Brad said.
You must ensure that the root or only half of the seed are in the water. Brad did this by placing the seeds in a vase roughly equal to the size of the seed.
Brad soaked the seed with water and wrapped it in paper towels to allow it to germinate. He then sealed the bag in Ziplock bags to increase the humidity. The root should begin to grow after two to three weeks.

Christian Hull, a comedian shared another demonstration video via TikTok. He stuck toothpicks in the avocado seed to let it float to the top after removing its skin.
Brad stated that the alternative method takes longer to root and grows roots than the Ziplock bag, which takes only a few weeks.
The plants will not produce avocados in at least 10 years and can only be used as houseplants.

After the plant has reached the desired size, it can either be put in soil or left in a vase with water for continued growth.
Brad’s TikTok tutorial video quickly became viral, and it was viewed more than 64,000 time.
“Finally, a great tutorial!” One person responded to Brad’s tutorial by saying, “So excited to try this.”
“I am currently trying this!” Another said, “My mine has just begun to crack open. I really hope I don’t kill them.”
One third said: “It was addicting to have 27 of them at the same time. However, once they’re planted, they’re so temperamental.
