Episode sixteen: grow your own avocado plant




On The Ledge show

Summary: If you've blown your houseplant budget for the year on a beautiful Boston fern or a towering Euphorbia, this week's show will help you get your new plant fix without spending a penny. Although they grow to 20 metres tall in their native central America, avocados make surprisingly good houseplants - a little like a bargain basement fiddle leaf fig, if you will. And the best bit is you can have fun trying to get one to sprout from an avocado pit or stone.
