avocado!

My Avocado plant seems to be recovering! I did a lot more reading to try and find out what was going on. The advice I read before that said don't keep their toes wet was bad; other sources said Avocados need frequent light watering- every day to keep them moist but not soggy. I wondered then if mine got shocked from the dry treatment to get rid of gnats. I started watering it more regular, every other day, and it seems to be perking up again.
And the pit I planted in a pot five weeks ago? I'd almost lost hope on it, but it seems to be sprouting!

  2. Isn't it? I love seeing new things sprout! I hope I get another good plant (and take better care of it this time).
