Avocado trees require plenty of sunlight—6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily is ideal. Place your pot in a sunny spot, such as a balcony, patio, or near a bright window. Avocado trees also prefer warm temperatures, so protect them from frost by bringing them indoors or using a frost cover during colder months.
5. Water Consistently and Prune Regularly
Watering: Avocado trees like moist but not waterlogged soil. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. During hot seasons, they may require more frequent watering, while less is needed in cooler months.
Pruning: Regular pruning helps maintain the tree’s size and shape in a pot. Prune to remove dead or overcrowded branches, which improves air circulation and light penetration, encouraging healthier growth.
6. Encourage Pollination and Patience
