1. Find a warm planting site with partial sunlight. Avocados are subtropical plants that love sunlight. It is native to the central United States, Mexico, and western India, so it prefers warm, moist conditions. Avocados can also be grown in California, and good light is a must for their healthy growth. However, too much light can cause damage, especially before your avocado tree reaches full growth. So, if you are growing an avocado tree from the pit, you need to choose a planting site that gets sunlight part of the day but not constant direct sunlight.
2. Avoid cold, wind and frost. Avocado trees cannot survive severe weather Snow, cold winds and sudden drops in temperature can kill avocado trees. If you live in the tropics or subtropics with a relatively mild climate, you can safely keep your avocados outdoors year-round. If your area experiences freezing temperatures in the winter, you may need to overwinter your avocado tree indoors.
3. Use well-drained soil with sufficient nutrients. Like other garden plants, avocado trees prefer soft, nutritious soil. Such soil provides sufficient nutrients for plants and also facilitates drainage and ventilation. Once the avocado tree's roots are established, use some soil rich in humus and organic matter.
4. Use soil with a low pH value. Like other garden plants, avocado trees prefer soil with a low pH, also known as acidic soil. The most suitable pH value is 5-7. If the pH value exceeds this value, the avocado tree's ability to absorb nutrients such as iron and zinc will be greatly weakened, hindering its growth.
