One way is to half-fill a glass with water, stick a couple of tooth-pics in there in an X-shape as a platform for the avocado seed/pit, then put the seed in there and wait for it to sprout. Be sure to put the point of the pit facing up. Most books do not say to do this due to low success rate, but this works very well for some people. Most sources discourage growing avocados from seed and suggest instead growing from either grafting or through budding or cuttings.

abstract	One way is to half-fill a glass with water, stick a couple of tooth-pics in there in an X-shape as a platform for the avocado seed/pit, then put the seed in there and wait for it to sprout. Be sure to put the point of the pit facing up. Most books do not say to do this due to low success rate, but this works very well for some people. Most sources discourage growing avocados from seed and suggest instead growing from either grafting or through budding or cuttings. For getting a new plant from cuttings/budding, cut a young shoot from a grown tree (best to get cuttings from trees you've found to be quite good which do well in your area), ensuring you have about 15cm. Dip the cut end into a rooting chemical and then put that end either into wet soil (which you must keep wet) or perhaps into a container with water in it. A more detailed explanation can be found in the first reference and by further googling on this subject. A side note, one tends to get fruit from trees faster if one uses cuttings rather than growing from seed. In Laos, if one plants a mango tree from seed it'll take about 3 years for it to bear fruit. If one plants from cuttings, it can bear fruit in only 1 year.
