Day 7 of @joannehawker #meetthemaker2023 is Learn. I've learned a lot about growing avocados over the years, like it's easier with an avo-cone😉, and sometimes pruning makes them look like a sad stick😅. No worries though, this sad stick has new growth, which is why this is the first I decided to put in a pot! All my previous avocado plants have been living happily in water their entire lives, but after a few years, this one needed new digs. I'm always learning, whether it's about growing avocados or ceramics! I read and experiment all the time. I've lost avocado plants and ceramic pieces along the way, but I'm all about perseverance. I don't let the disasters get me down for long, and you can bet I'll share the good and bad because I want people to learn from my mistakes to save them from making the same! One thing I learned in my reading is that sometimes, when you finally plant an avocado that's been in water it needs some support. That's why this seed is supported by stones. The main root is pretty hard, so when planted the seed stuck out of the dirt. The stones are not just aesthetic 😉Also, water grown seeds need to start in a wet environment until they acclimate to dirt. We'll see if this one survives it's dirt home, if not, just one more learning experience! #meetthemaker #marchmeetthemaker #learning #ceramics #pottery #avo-cone #avocadopropagation #plantlover #avocadoplant #growingavocados #avocadogrowinghowto #repotting #moonburncreations (at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpfswDyLKkq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
