Should I cut it or would that kill it? It's barely holding on anyways but I feel bad just giving up on it now. I water it once it gets dry and it gets indirect sunlight for like 8 + hours a day, a meter or so away from the window. I think I just underwatered it.
Also sorry about the grody on my wall

It’s a tree. It needs outdoor conditions. It’s desperately looking for enough light to survive. Also avocados like moist conditions but please don’t drown it.
Don’t give up hope. I live in Vermont, and I have an avocado tree grown from seed, who is roughly 10 years old now. I named him Fred. He’s been close to death several times, but he’s been growing faster the last few years once I figured out what he needs. I still don’t have it completely right, but i found doing the following has helped a lot :
– Grow lamp. They need more light than we can provide in these frigid lands…
– Cut that stem down quite a bit, then put it under a grow lamp, it may take a while but it’ll bounce back.
– fertilize it! I got some special fertilizer pellets specifically for citrus and avocado trees , they stink so bad but my Fred loves it
– lots of water, but let it drain out the pot.
I’m trying to add a pic but not sure if I can…
Hahaha omg my shaylaaaaaaaaa
If you know how, you still can have it indoor in Canada. I’m also from Canada. Get a grow light and start pruning the roots. You will have an avocado bonsai.
