🌱 Quick Start Guide

1. Clean the pit: Gently remove any remaining fruit flesh, being careful not to cut the seed.
2. Identify the poles: The slightly pointed end is the top (where the stem will emerge) and the flatter base is the bottom (where the roots will grow).
3. Set it up: Place the pit in the support, put it over your glass, and add water until it covers exactly half of the pit.
4. Location & Light: Place it in a warm spot with direct sunlight (avoid cold drafts) and change the water every 2 days to keep it fresh.
5. The expert touch (Pruning): When the stem reaches about 15 cm, cut it in half (to about 7 cm). Even though it hurts to do, this strongly stimulates root growth! Soon it will be ready to transfer to soil.
