How to make an avocado bonsai

Avo­ca­do Seed Bon­sai is the first install­ment in a series of look at me — I’m a fun nerd.

And this time I’m talk­ing about my expe­ri­ence of grow­ing bon­sai from the seed of the most com­mon avo­ca­do, which I bought at super­mar­ket at a discount.

Every­thing you need for bon­sai you can buy on AliEx­press.

A simple 10-step instruction on how to make an avocado bonsai

1. Buy avo­ca­dos in supermarket;
2. Eat avo­ca­do (you can make it like mashed pota­toes on toast with a poached egg);
3. Take a bone, wash it, clean it, cut it vertically;
4. Put the fin­ished bone in a glass of water (after insert­ing 3 – 4 tooth­picks) so that the bone is about ¹⁄₃ into the water;
5. Leave this con­struc­tion for a month, peri­od­i­cal­ly chang­ing the water, in the process a thick white root will grow from the bot­tom of the stone (about 5 – 8 cm) and the stone will break a little;
6. As soon as a small sprout appears from above, we take a bone and trans­plant it into a pot with earth, so that the stone is immersed in the ground by about ¹⁄₃;
7. Then water 1 – 2 times a week and wait;
8. Thin and flex­i­ble stems will begin to appear quick­ly enough, and when they are already of suf­fi­cient length, but still flex­i­ble enough, we buy wire and bend the stems, fix­ing them with wire.
9. As the stems grow, rot them more.
10. If the leaves dry around the edges, we cut off these dried places so as to pre­serve the entire leaf as a whole.

What hap­pens in the end — see the video.

Drop in the com­ments what you got!

I will peri­od­i­cal­ly share my progress.

Let me take my leave then.
