I find it hard to grow Avocado trees. One of the hard things for me is to ensure that the seed is in water and doesn't dry out. Not much of a green thumb, but I love plants. In comes in a self-watering solution! using Autodesk Fusion 360 I designed a 3D printable tool to help grow Avocado Trees. This tool is self-watering and the water can last for weeks!

replace the evaporated water and transport in the soil if you desire, be sure to water the soil regularly to ensure that the tree becomes acclimated.
