💡 Care Tip: Open the package promptly after delivery and place your avocado seedling in bright, indirect light for the first day or two. Gradually introduce it to stronger sunlight to reduce transplant and shipping stress. Water when the upper layer of soil begins to feel dry, and always provide good drainage. Minor temporary leaf stress can occur during shipping. Since this plant is seed-grown rather than grafted, it should not be expected to produce fruit identical to the Hass parent variety.
