You should change the water once in a while because if you dont the water will become depleated of oxygen which isnt good. Also Stagnant water promotes algea growth. I have one rooting now and thats the method im using. Good luck with the alvacado

Another way you can germinate an avocado pit is to wrap it in a wet paper towel, place it in a plastic bag, and put it in a warm spot, like a windowsill, for a couple of weeks. Just make sure the towel stays moist, and before you know it, you'll have a germinated pit that you can place directly into a pot of soil. I've found this works quicker than anything else. Either way, good luck with your pit!

what about the dye from the color of the toothpicks? is that going to matter?

Oh, whoops! No one answered your question, sorry. I would say probably not, but just to err on the side of caution, why not get some natural toothpicks and change the water?

So, can you use just any pit from a store bought avacado? My husband and I have tried a couple of times to germinate a pit, without success.

Yeah, use any pit you want! Keep in mind that avos grown indoors will most likely not bear fruit, though. I have a friend who just throws her out into her garden, and they sprout up all the time.
