These microorganisms, collectively known as gut flora, consist predominantly of various strains of bacteria, and to a lesser extent include fungi and protozoa. The gut flora are essential for digestion and immune functioning. A state of dysbiosis therefore will result in digestive and other systemic symptoms.
Set the potted ocotillo seeds on a propagation mat set to 95 degrees F. Lower the heat to 70 degrees F at night. Expose the seeds to at least nine hours of direct sunlight per day. Maintain light moisture in the sand to a depth of 1 inch. Watch for germination in eight to 15 days. Keep the pots on the propagation mat for one week after sprouting. Move the pots outdoors to a bright, sunny spot with good air circulation. Decrease water to no more than 1/4 cup every 10 to 14 days once the ocotillo seedlings reach 4 inches in height.
How Long Does It Take an Avocado Pit Plant to Grow? Avocado seeds are easy to sprout, but the plants take a long time to mature. Members of the Persea genus, avocado plants grown indoors from seed often have to be discarded after two or three years because they outgrow their space. If you grow them indoors from seed, they may take more than 20 years to bear avocados or they may not bear fruit at all. Avocado trees that grow outdoors from seed typically yield fruit in seven to 15 years. Whether you germinate an avocado seed in water or soil, it will typically sprout within two to three months.
