I have three avocado plants growing in water. I wanted to try growing them in water instead of soil. I have seen someone in the internet who grows his avocado plant in water and is growing well. He has concocted the nutrient recipe for the avocado and added to the water. He didn't reveal the formula and I think maybe can dilute the fertilizer to a ratio that is gentle on the plant. When I planted the seedlings in soil, I have to prune them to stop them from growing too tall. When I grow them in water, I'm thinking whether I need to prune them because I'm not sure whether this will hurt the plants.

I have used a bigger bottle for the root to grow longer. My initial intention is to prevent the root from splitting open. However, this does not help and the root still split open. Two small roots have grown downwards. Overall, the seedling looks healthy and I will probably wait from a few more days before I start to prune the seedling. It has about seven leaves and it should be right for pruning now.
