I grow almost everything in water but avocados @kelsey I have grown avocados for over 20 yrs. The best way that has worked for me is to grow them in soil. Just like the one in the photo. The only thing that i have to worry about it are the darn squirrels. They love to run off with avocado seeds.

This Avocado variety is called a #SlimCado. Fewer calories and is triple the size of a hass avocado. https://www.brookstropicals.com/all-about-slimcado/

It looks as if it were slim on edible flesh tho -- "now with 3x the pit conpared to other alligator pears and 1/3 of the fat calories!"
