They just need to get started in good soil and they take off pretty well. I assume you live in a climate where you don't have to worry about a hard cold snap. My Mom has the best avocado tree in California. It has taken over her whole backyard in about 10 years and it has hundreds of avocados every year. Be patient, give it plenty of water and it will grow.
Reply:Yes, they are very delicate when young. Even when planted in the ground they will need support for a couple of years, there are also many foods specifically for avacado trees and easily available. Good luck with yours!
Reply:Well tell me is it a plant or a tree? You need to feed it by hand and talk to it on a daily basis...
