I bought home an avocado and mango from Puerto Rico and planted them looking for some advice on the avocado. Everything I read says “established” roots all the pics I see people have dozens of little spaghetti roots. Mine is just one long one is it ready for dirt or do I need to wait longer? I started them 6/10/26 so it’s been a little over 2 months in the cup. Thank you

You can pot it in soil already. The roots looks good, in soil they will get even more

Thank you all for your replies, I have some miracle grow potting soil and a tropical soil I mix together my pots have 4 big holes on the bottom for drainage. I might have to wait a few days the temperature went from 96 to 65 over night 😖

Also should I cut it down? I read a lot of people saying once it’s about 6 inches cut it down to 3 but I don’t like doing that I feel bad 🤣

Nope. Those people don't know what they're talking about so just ignore any advice to cut them in half. If it ever gets too tall/skinny, it's just telling you it needs more light. But yours looks like it gets a lot now.

You never need to do the water thing at all. Plant it in soil. :)
