I'm going to explain every step in the following. But first of all – you have to be patient with your avocado. It takes about 3 months until you just can put your avocado seed into the soil. After some more weeks, it will grow its first leaves. 

So, how to prepare it:

<h4>1. Open the avocado carefully, make sure you don't damage the pit. Seperate the pit from its fruit flesh. </h4>![katjahanzl-1-3.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeq5c2DcmSsJAh6DCR7MwmjX7UKEdYjqMQqtsdUF5CZsN/katjahanzl-1-3.jpg) 

<h4> 2. Clean the pit. </h4>![katjahanzl-1-5.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZnE2Vi2t54R9YWvUyrGtDNYRzwpPKp1Ne8j5YNWKftpU/katjahanzl-1-5.jpg)

<h4> 3. Peel the thin skin, very carefully... </h4>![katjahanzl-1-6.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQ7GPme8YKbKAXgZjLTkUdUp7er1Au9fMF2RaLCdE6tcm/katjahanzl-1-6.jpg)
<h4>...until its fully naked.</h4> ![katjahanzl-1-7.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmb53FjoEgmRyfkTub1tnRybvroBnj2rYpCmWUKttJpWz2/katjahanzl-1-7.jpg)

<h4>4. Now grab yourself a glass of water and three stripes of wire (alternative you can use spits of wood as well). </h4>![katjahanzl-1-8.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPJkm4qZ9KHiRVn46gF6mH5vtMtYGbim1WjzkNwLX7Vrx/katjahanzl-1-8.jpg)

<h4> 5. Press the three wire stripes into the sides of the avocado - even if it feels a bit bad. </h4>![katjahanzl-1-2.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbwtZtNR8YwtyWKcdoaxn3xYd3kg8TThzN61SB8GkbFSe/katjahanzl-1-2.jpg)

<h4> 6. Let's swim! Put the avocado in a position that is half in the water and half in the air. Clear water every 1-2 days</h4>https://steemitimages.com/DQme9WHi6ErmGxguctWzU72m9BXLneE6HZx3Hxx9xif9rkA/katjahanzl-1-9.jpg

Now we are half way done. Choose a location that is very sunny and additionally if its possible use a greenhouse. As I said, it will take some month until it splits and grows its root. You are free to plant the pit into soil when the root is about 3 cm. Don't forget to change the water often (every 1-2 days) otherwise it can get scruffy.
