Avocado Propagation Vase, Amber

This vase’s simple yet functional design allows you to observe an avocado seed as it matures, giving an insight into the plants' first stages of life.

Ideal for plant lovers, design enthusiasts, inquisitive children, and everyone who wishes to experience the joy of nature, this vase is also suitable for propagating all sorts of other large seeds, bulbs and plant cuttings.

The vase refines the traditional method of growing, skipping the toothpicks, and utilising the opening to cradle the seed, keeping it dry as it sprouts and encouraging the roots to flourish freely. The vase magnifies the roots as they grow; creating a perfect focal point to witness the plant as it develops.

Made from hand-blown borosilicate glass and also available in clear.

Dimensions: 15 cm x 15 cm

Opening is 5cm at top and 2.5cm at the bottom.

BYO avocado seed/pit...grow it, don't throw it!

If you're feeling lucky/lazy, just peel you avocado pit (seed), pop it in the vase opening, fill with water and wait! Otherwise here are our step-by-step instructions for best results:

1. Soak your pit (seed) in water for 48h, then remove the outer skin.
2. Wrap your pit in a moist paper towel.
   
3. Place your wrapped pit inside a sealed plastic bag and keep it in a warm spot, (25°C is ideal).
   
4. After a few days your pit will start to split.
   
5. After a week or 2 the first root will emerge. Once the root is 2-3 cm long, you can take the pit out of the bag.
   
6. Place the pit in the vase opening, with the root in the water. The water should touch the bottom of your pit.
   
7. The first shoot takes another 1 to 2 weeks to emerge.
   
8. Wait another 1 to 2 weeks for the first leaves.
