If you are having bad luck with toothpicks, you may try turkey skewers???


Well I may try the toothpick thing with the other avocado, The seed is much
smaller than the one in the pot. It will probably be so small I am
wondering if
I just couldn't find a metal screw, I'd only need one an inch or so long.
Wait
till it breaks in half then try to screw it back together.


Don't screw it back together when it breaks in half... that's how the stem
comes out of the middle of the seed! At that point it's growing into a tree.
My toothpicks often come out. I start with 3 and usually two remaining will
keep it at the right water level.

Agreed. ;-)
Splitting is a GOOD thing, not a bad thing!
It's the first stage to sprouting.
