Default Indoor Avacado tree problems.

Well, I live in northern Canada so it is not possible to keep it
outside, especially in the winter. So you think that the plant is not
getting enough light?

g'day,

first up the avacado isn't an indoor plant, they usually grow out in
the ground in ful sun.

you would need a very bright positions or even a light over it to keep
it happy. then the watering needs to be controlled, i would suggest
let it dry out a bit before watering it fully, in winter they may mean
a once a month watering?

also it may work better if the new seedling was allowed to establish
outside in a nice warm bright spot before it was bought inside.

and then the rule of thumb may need to be applied for every '2 weeks
inside give it 5 weeks outside'.
