Know before you buy
The vase features a specifically shaped opening that cradles the avocado seed, keeping the bottom half submerged in water while the rest of the seed stays dry. This design encourages the roots to grow downward into the water while preventing the seed from rotting.
Borosilicate glass is known for its durability and resistance to thermal shock, making it stronger than standard glass. While it is sturdy enough for daily use, it should still be handled with care to avoid chips or cracks.
While the vase is specifically engineered for the size and shape of avocado seeds, it can technically be used for other large seeds or bulbs that require similar water-based germination. However, the design is optimized for the avocado's unique growth cycle.
Since the vase is not dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing it gently with warm water and a mild soap. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the glass surface.
Yes, the 36-page handbook is designed to guide you through the entire process, from preparing the seed to nurturing the plant as it grows. It covers essential cultivation techniques and troubleshooting tips to help ensure your success.
