December 11, 2023Q.Can Avocado Trees Grown Indoors In Containers Produce Avocadoes? If So, Under What Conditions?
We would like to purchase small avocado trees and grow them indoors in containers under artificial lighting. Have indoor gardeners been able to successfully grow avocadoes on trees grown indoors? If so, who can provide me with information on how to successfully do so?

Certified ExpertA.Yes, you can grow them indoors, but start with dwarf, grafted trees. Avocados grown from seed may not produce fruit.
Here are the basics. You can get more information from your local extension office (see below).

Certified ExpertA.It's likely due to insects feeding on the leaves. They suck the sap out. It looks like aphids - the tiny, dark brown things. You can treat them with Neem oil or insecticidal soap.
