If you just brought it in, then it's probably in shock...it's normal for any plant coming indoors (or going outdoors) if there wasn't any slow adjustment to the new conditions. Keep you Avocado in as best light you can give it until spring and water sparingly ...not dry but not as much as you would the rest of the year...roots of any indoor plant do not take up as much water this time of year... If you have a Mexican type they dont require as much humidity during the growing season but all indoor plants (except cacti/succulents) appreciate the added humidity in too-dry winter homes. Mist to keep humidity up or place on water-filled pebble tray making sure the container does not sit in the water. Another tip....Container grown Avocado are very sensitive to soluble salts in fertilizers...for this it is a good idea to leach containers once in a while to prevent build up in the soil. Symptoms are leaf-tip burn. Hope this helps? Vera |

Kristine DH has several growing in a pot. NOt sure about bearing fruit but from what i read it's difficult to produce any from store bought avacados, which his are. Dh wont beleve me and is dertermined but mostly stubborn. LOL He whacks em down hard to keep small so he could bring them indoors for the winter and says he's going to grow an avacodo bush. LMAO Michelle |

That's neat.  I don't have the patience to wait 10-12 years for a store-bought pit to grow and bear fruit. I did find some dwarf plants available: Don Gillogly, Little Cado, Holiday |
