I just pruned my avocado tree recently and now I need to repot it because the plants outgrown it’s current pot, can I repot it even though I pruned it? Or should I wait for new growth to appear before reporting? I am growing it with grow lights, roots are coming out of drainage hole so I know that it definitely needs a repot, I just want to do what’s best for the plant, but I’m not sure what procedure to do first

Hello Scott, Thank you for all of the great information.

I love your videos! So helpful and informative as a first time plant mom 🍃 thank you thank you

I've watched a few videos and decided to hard prune my little indoor plants. I was too anxious to remove every leaf so just left one leaf on each plant. I'm worried now as some videos show you need to leave a few leaves on but I see you've pruned hard too...so fingers crossed. My plants were healthy and doing well so I'd be gutted if I've killed them! Update...plants are doing well!! Lots of little side shoots and leaves coming through 😃💪🌱

Thanks for the video Scott, I was wondering when to plant my tree in soil but now I know I should prune it first!!! Thanks!

I’m super super thankful you were able to take the time out into answering my questions and even made a video on it!! you’re super great and super smart!! This was a perfect video and answer for my question! Thank you so so so much!!!

Thanks for all your videos. They are wonderful and informative. I am growing about a 10 trees in water, 1 in a pot, and there are 10 more on the way. I've been pruning modestly; thank you for giving me the confidence to prune brutally.

So pleasant. Your music represents your demeanor well.

Loved the chart! Super helpful!!!

Thank you cause no other video(s) were really good at explaining. Pruned my young avocado that I still have in water & will be moving it to a sunnier place in the house.

You can still grow your avocado trees from indoors. I live out in zone six and take out my avocado trees out side every summer and then bring them in around fall, it works.

Hello, thank you for your helpful videos. How often should I prune my avocado tree after the first time?

Ok.. you are the best at explaining the pruning and transplanting process of an avocado. I don't remember when I started my avocado seeking in water, but I do know it was before Christmas. We are now in mid May, and I haven't pruned it once. I was ready to transfer it to soil but wasn't sure to prune instantly. Thank you. I hope I don't murder it. 🙃 🥑❤️🥑❤️🌱❤️🥑❤️🥑

After about a year with no new leaf growth, and with the tree basically losing all the leaves, it suddenly came back to life again with new leaves! Since it's basically a long twig now, I pruned it. Hopefully it'll be back stronger than ever now!

extremely helpful advice Scott, thank you for the video! time to prune my avocado now *cries*

Hi Scott! Thanks so much for the video! My avocado plant is only a few months old and about 1 foot tall. But it seems to have stopped growing with two large leaves at the top that are still green but getting a bit droopy (it looks exactly like this emoji 🌱 lol) I also grew it in a wine bottle so I have a single long but fairly thick root. Should I prune it and/or do anything to encourage more roots?

Thank you for your videos

Hi Scott, thanks for the video, it answered my questions. I was wondering where did you purchase the glass vase that you have your avocado plant in. I love it and want one 😊

Great, just what I needed to know, well explained,thanks, I’ve got 4 Avo plants on my window seal, one is about 2 feet tall, with only a bunch of leaves at the top, that are curly and just don’t look v happy. So I’ll now prune the plant halfway up the stem, then perhaps the leaves will be better?

It’s kind of amazing that Scott has an entire channel about Avocodo trees but it looks like he doesn’t have any that are more than a few years old and are about 3-4 ft tall. I gotta find a video about 6-7’ tall trees.

Hi Scott, I live on Costa del Sol & picked a bunch of avocados from the trees in front of my house last October. I put them in tissues & placed them in a washing up bowl in a warm cupboard. I planted them in soil at end of January & kept them inside until recently. One is 67cm tall, some medium height & some very short. When should I cut the tall ones down to encourage lower leaf growth & should the bulb be visible on the plants to get more direct sunlight? The temp here now is about 11-15 at night & 15-25 during the day. Thanks Mate 🙏😎

Hi! I had a question about my avocado plant. I germinated my seeds before putting them in water and now they have grown tall and have leaves. The problem is that that roots are too long for a pot, they are about 32 cm tall, including the seed, and I can't find a long pot like that. Can I trim the roots a little or is it not okay? I don't want my plant to die so I'm just making sure. Thanks!

When you say to avoid pruning in winter, does that apply to indoor avocado plants as well?

My plant is about 2 years old, and is growing very well. It's 5' tall, and has 2 well-leafed branches about 2/12' long. I would like the trunk to grow a bit thicker and sturdier. Should I prune from the top, and both branches?

your audio is so lovelyy

Thank God

I just planted my avocado seed and it has grown to 12 inches. I live in Tampa FL and we have great growing weather. When should I prune this very young tree. Should I wait now because I just planted it 3 weeks ago. It is very healthy. I sing to it every day.

I found that my young avocado was potted way too low....all the wsy up to the graft..when I bought it from the nursery. Plant it low..it won't grow...so true..repotted it to a bit larger pot and..plant it high...it won't die.....used a plant starter liquid to help with transplant shock...how long will it take for the leaves to green back up and stop looking droopy? 8a zone. Thanx, Debra

Hey Scott! I have pruned my avocado plat just once it really made a difference after a while. But now I am not sure about where to do the second pruning.

Hey Nels, that's a great question! It's up to you with how you want your tree to be shaped - I might have to make a video on this because there's lots to think about, but it won't be out for a while (because I need to wait for the trees to grow to show exactly how the pruning affected them!!)

Hi. I have an 18 month old indoor avocado plant that’s looking really healthy. I have pruned it twice but I think I might have done this wrong as my plant has branched off to one side! Can I hard prune it and take it back to half its size? (before it branches off to the side) or is it just safer to allow it to grow lop-sided? Many thanks

Help?! I have an avocado tree that, I don't really know how old he is, but definitely older then I think 4 years. But it's still really long and thin, it sprouted in a dark place, I was very young and had never before been able to grow something from a seed, so I put this pit i found in some dirt left it on a window shel (the thing that's attached to windows that's like a mini table (my English is still in progress)) when it dis not sprout I think I did not wanted to look at it anymore so I guess I placed it in the (very dark) garage, forgot about it and then all I rember is one day finding something green in a pot. I loved it and it grew in a long long thin stick. I didn't think much about it, again I never even knew if avocado's grow from bushes or trees, and it got really big leafs but as it grew the leafs would lose their grip and fall, but while my tree was losing leaves that looked perfectly healthy to me it also sprouted new ones on top. It's been that way for many years, I am sure it had sufficient sunlight because it got sunburns and i my mum moved it to a more shadowi place, with I think just indirect light. It is very possible it now longs for more light though but I'm a little scared of throwing them in a shock. Wich i already did once, replanting them in a way to large pot. Come to think of it I never have repot them since. Can I still prune them after all these years, do I best leave them alone, I really don't know. Maybe it helps to report that they had to struggle with mealybugs. Please help they're looking rather silly now

I'm growing my avocado tree in water I saw that you can keep your avocado tree in water I have it in a large canning jar do you have any videos like 🌱

have you ever tried low-stress training with an avocado tree as an alternative to a heavy pruning?

Where should I prune my avacado plant in water if it’s 25 cm tall, but only has leaves at the top 5cm? Do there need to be leaves for there to be nodes? My plants only 2-3 months old but has grown quite fast

What about avocado trees that you just recently pruned but want to repot? Should I wait for new growth to appear on top before repotting or could I just repot immediately regardless of pruning? my tree is in soil has been in soil for a year, just pruned a few days ago to encourage branching I left two leaves on the plants so the plant can still do photosynthesis . Just recently noticed that my tree has out grown it current pot. I also grow my tree with grow lights. Any helpful information regarding my question welcome.

So i am growing an avocado tree from seedling. It is about a year old and about 12inches tall or more. My question is that right now my tree's leaves are drooping, when should i prune? Now or? It recently had aphids too so its looking a little sad, should i wait to prune so it can recover or is now the best time for it to be pruned since it will have more energy to grow and stuff?

What fertilizer do you use for avocado? N-P-K ? Thanks :)

Scott THANK's for all the info... Doing the Zip-Loc bag method has been the Best for me (((Very very new))) at this, have 3 "White" Roots an 1 GREEN thick root. Is this the TREE Stem & should point up when planting in Soil..? again Scott Thanks for all You Do. WelderX

My tree is only about 2 months old grown from a seed in soil the entire time. The leaves are now crisp at the edge and all sunburned. Some of the bottom stem is also black right about the seed. Should I prune the entire thing? Or should I leave it and wait until spring/summer? Is it going to die? I’m in Los Angeles California.

Hey Scott thanks for your video, very informative. I'm just wondering what you think of putting the pruned off parts of the plant in water to see if it will grow roots...? perhaps after removing one or two leaves so roots can grow from those points. I'm about to prune my baby tree which is a few months old, and will give it a try. Interested to know if anyone else has tried this...

The roots on the main plant however have grown a lot, but no signs of any stem growth though. The stem does seem much harder, which I hope is a good sign!? I hope it will grow back :( guess I have to be patient?

I’m finding that citrus cactus soil is ideal for avocado plants. You don’t even have to do anything to it just straight out of the bag. It is perfect for growing avocado plants because it’s a very well dreaming soil since it’s made for citrus and cactus. Those plants do not like wet roots, so it’s perfect for a once or twice a week watering routine for an indoor plant. I’ve used my moisture meter and at around 3 to 4 days it needs watering so about once or twice a week depending on the season soil took my transplants from water extremely well. The plants have been super happy since day one they never got any shock or needed to acclimate. They have just been happy happy happy plants. I’m using the miracle grow Citrus/cactus/ soil I highly recommend 10/10 2 months in with zero issues.

Hi, I pruned my avocado sapling that’s still in the cup of water, a bit faulty. I pruned it much above a node. And now after a few weeks that node closest to the pruned spot as not shot up but the one below it has. And the plant looks odd now. Is this wrong what I have done? And how can I fix it?

Hello there, thank you for this channel (infos, care, mood). One more question, tho: can I prune my Avocado REALLY down below, so that it branches lower? And can I do so multiple times (while saving at least the previous prune point)? My goal is to have a really small and bushy avocado plant, that grows fruit in the smallest window of time, possible.

@ScottGrowsanAvocadoTree

3 жыл бұрын

Hey! Thank you for the kind words 😊 Pruning as you describe will cause it to become bushy! Though it probably won’t speed up the rate at which it produces avocados - the wood needs to mature, which takes time. Though grafting can speed up the process. Sounds great regardless - all the best!
