Melbourne plant expert Brad Canning, who calls himself "CEO of plantok", has recently gone viral after he revealed his secret to growing beautiful avocado trees from scratch in your own home.

Brad explained: “Keep them [the pips], peel the skin off, wrap them in a damp paper towel, put it in a zip lock bag and then after a few weeks there will be a root."
The video then showed Brad effortlessly removing the seed from the fruit.
Once he extracted the seed, he quickly wrapped it in a paper towel and sealed it in a reusable plastic bag.
“Chuck it in some water and then you will have your very own avocado houseplant that can live in water forever,” Brad explained.
