For tomato and pepper plants about a week is enough. The tests and times might be drastically different for avocado plants. Perhaps you can ask that as a separate question here. | |

| May 31, 2012 at 18:26 | comment | added | Paul | I don't think it is frost tolerant... in fact, even now, it looks very fragile, despite being 2 ft tall. I'm keeping it in a pot indoors right now, but I'd like to move it outdoors. If I take it out immediately, it's going to dry out (from heat) and/or sun-scarred. Is there a way I can move the pot outdoors in such a way to reduce these effects? | |
