Hi, I have a potted avacado seedling that I noticed began to die atthe top of the plant tabout a week ago. I cut of the dead area and I noticed the plant is still slowly dying. I transplanted it but that did not help either. This is my first time to grow an avacado and I am truly at a lost. Doese anyone have an idea if there is something I can do to save this seedling?

Hi Lilbitbrownsugar,
Not really enough info here to be able to help you. You don't say what type of soil you've potted it in, how long it was in the pot before you repotted it, if the potting soil you used had slow release fertilizer added to it ( a common problem), if you fertilized (especially if the potting soil already had slow release fertilizer), what type of sun conditions, when do you water (when the soil is dry or slightly dry?), etc. Here's how to grow an a

Thanks. I will check out the site. I started the seedling last spring and it is in regular potting soil. I use a fruit tree fertizer I bought from Garden Alive but I don't have the package available so I don't know the name or if it is a slow release or not. As for sun light it was sitting where it got steady sun from noon till dusk, although not full sun at all times. I have since set it out in full sun, but I think I am too late to save it.

If you purchased a fertilizer from Gardens Alive it was most likely organic and shouldn't be a problem. If you still have the bag of potting soil check to see if that has slow release fertilizer in it. Most of them do now. Maybe you've overwatered.
