Hello! I’m very new to growing anything, but I’m giving it a try to an avocado plant. Very recently after two months in a glass of water, I moved it to a pot, but I’m noticing that it’s grow rate stopped, and the leaves look droopy. I’m trying to use plenty of water, the dirt looks dry anyways soon after, and the tray from below quickly gets filled with water, I don’t know if this is normal behavior or if the water is going directly, also I’m not sure what is wrong with my avocado plant if anything at all.
Pictures are from nine days ago, four days ago and just now. For the dirt I followed advice in a nursery, I bought (if translated correctly) coconut peat, compound fertilizer and one third thing that I forgot to write down.
Usually when a plant gets stressed the growing stops or slows. I’d assume it’s because of the repot. It looks healthy to me!
It’s a newly potted plant, it will be putting most of its energy into growing its roots at base right now.
Is t getting enough sunlight?
I’ve heard that when planting avocado trees in soil from water, it is best to only bury the nut half way, and use a substrate which wont suffocate it, like a mix of coconut coir and soil.
The logic being that it helps the roots breathe, and prevents the nut from rotting, as the baby tree still will use it for nutrients
I would like to point out, avocados are not “True to seed” fruits. That is, there is a 99.99% chance the fruit that thing produces will be near inedible. They are like apples in that regard. That is, if you have an apple that was delicious, and plant it’s seeds, you will get a crabapple tree. A true to seed fruit is one where if you take the seed from a fruit and plant it, the resulting tree will produce fruit very similar to the one you ate.
Not immediately related but avocados also tend to drop a lot of leaves when they’re beginning their growth periods.
It just looks thirsty. Those pots dry out super fast so whenever it starts drooping like that it just needs more water.
Been doing advacados recently, I had good luck planting it in a pot with the top half of the pit still exposed after transferring it from it having its roots submerged in water in a baby food jar. Seems to be doing well. I thought that was the way most people do it

Although this is true. A lot of new avocados are being named every year grown from seed. If you want a great tasting avocado I’m sure you can buy one that can grow in your zone but you can also grow your own taste it and if you don’t like it graft it. Full acclimated seedling grown for 2-3 year makes a great canvas. If you have the time. Good luck.
How’s the humidity in your home? I had to stop using clay pots for any plants that require lots of moisture because my space is incredibly dry, and the moisture would just get sucked right out of the pot. If your home is dry, I’d definitely suggest replanting it into a plastic pot if you can! It’ll help retain the moisture a lot better. Otherwise, it honestly looks pretty happy. That’s how my avocado plant looks when it needs to be watered.
Hi! It would be much happier if the top of the soil matched where the top of the water was.
Good luck! I hope it makes it!
Caring for the plant after transplantation depends on its characteristics. When the plant is comfortable with light, temperature, air humidity and watering, it will most likely accept the transplant well.
It looks very dry?
