I've always used tooth picks for growing avocado plants, but I thought it would be fun to try the Avoseedo method. And it was fun, but I had some issues with it, so I'm back to using toothpicks.

When grown in a cup, the roots are more contained, and it's easier to plant it in soil afterwards. But with the Avoseedo, I needed a wider container, and the roots started growing to the side. This caused one of the pits to tilt to its side, no matter how many times I tried to make it stay centered. As you can see below, the shoot is growing from the side of the pit instead of the top. I decided to take it out of the Avoseedo, and use tooth picks again. The root has been trimmed so I can fit it in the cup.
