They&#8217;ll love the moist and warm conditions too and will proliferate fast. If you notice a vinegary smell when you check on the inside of your baggie&#8230; it&#8217;s too late. You can better start over.<\/p>\n<h3>Keep it warm<\/h3>\n<p>The temperature is an important factor. Keep your baggie at around 77\u00b0F for the fastest results. Look for a spot in your house that&#8217;s consistently cozy &amp; warm. Next to your furnace or hot water boiler is a good choice.<\/p>\n<h3>Don&#8217;t let it dry out<\/h3>\n<p>Peek inside the baggie from time to time, to check if the paper towel is still moist. If not, add a little water to keep things steamy in there.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t really matter whether you keep the bag in the dark or in daylight. Heat and moisture are the 2 most important factors.<\/p>\n<h3>Did you successfully germinate your pit?<\/h3>\n<p>If you want to know (a lot) more about the next steps, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanopia.com\/us\/the-ultimate-guide-to-growing-your-own-avocado-pit-every-time\/\">click here for our ultimate guide to grow an avocado plant.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] How to grow your avocado pit [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Here&#8217;s a quick tutorial to teach you how we germinate our avocado pits.
