AVOCADO
Light:
☀️ Full sun. Avocado trees need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day for healthy growth and fruit production.Water:
💧 Water regularly but allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Avocados are sensitive to overwatering, so ensure good drainage. Water more frequently during the growing season (spring and summer).Soil:
🌱 Well-draining, sandy or loamy soil. They prefer slightly acidic soil but can tolerate a range of pH levels.Temperature:
🌡️ Prefers warm temperatures between 60°F and 85°F (16°C - 29°C). Avocados are frost-sensitive, so protect them from cold temperatures below 50°F (10°C).Humidity:
💦 Avocado trees prefer moderate humidity. If growing indoors, regular misting can help maintain humidity, especially in dry climates.Fertilizer:
🌼 Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer once every 6-8 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilizing in the fall and winter.Pruning:
✂️ Prune to shape the tree and remove any dead or damaged branches. Regular pruning helps promote a strong structure and more productive growth.
