Default Indoor Avacado tree problems.

snip If don't have plant lights, then it is pretty much guaranteed that
it's not getting enough light. If you want to approach an ideal level, this
is what marijuana growers do (and I mention this because they've probably
advanced the art of indoor growing more than just about anyone else): snip


Hi,
Avocados will grow indoors and have been used as houseplants for years. I
think your problem started with the toothpick and water trick. Next time
plant the seed 1/2 deep in good soil in a pot and keep warm and moist as in
not wet. No traumatic potting with soggy / weak roots. If you are not trying
to fruit the thing you won't need the "THC Special" light setup either
although they won't do well in shade.
