No I meant just to hold it together so it doesn't constantly collapse back into
the glass and sink. I didn't mean very tight just enough to help hold it up out
of the water. Plus the screw would give more support to the toothpicks.Breaking
in half will help it sprout but I don't think it will sprout if its fully
submerged underwater.
Thats why I like the pot thing so far, If it sprouts the seed won't go anywhere
or drown, It may or may not sprout but I don't have to constantly babysit it
and fix it 5 times a day either. Just gonna take a few weeks to tell if it
works.

We have 2 of them we planted about 7 years ago. We just planted them in pots of
dirt with the tip of the pit showing, and watched them grow. We put them outside
for the nice weather then bring them back inside for the winter, but I'm not
sure if we'll ever get any fruit from them.
