You can root an avocado pit/seed by sowing it directly into the soil. Generally, pits that root in soil produce stronger plants than those started in water. Place potting mix into a 6- to 8-inch container that has drainage holes, and position the avocado pit in the center of the pot, with the broad end touching the soil.
Hi Pamid1326,
First Wash it. Use 3 toothpicks to suspend it broad-end down over a water-filled glass to cover about an inch of the seed. Put the glass in a warm place out of direct sunlight and replenish water as needed. You should see the roots and stem start to root in about 2-6 weeks. And I posted a link that tells you how to care for your avocado tree as it gets larger. Hope this helps! :)
