    • Avoid using soap, just use warm water and your hands.

    • The pit should sit in about 1 inch (2-3 cm) of water, so keep this in mind when inserting your toothpicks.

    • Don't insert the toothpicks to deep into the pit, this could damage it and it wouldn't grow anymore.

    • Place the glass with your avocado pit in a warm place with plenty of light.

    • Change the water every 5-7 days with fresh water.

    • Don't forget to fill up the water from time to time.
