1. Pineapples: Cut off the top with the leafy part, and then cut off the remaining flesh. Pick a few leaves off the bottom, let it sit out for a couple hours, then put the bottom of the it in a glass of water to root.
2. Avocado: Take pit, let it sit out for about two weeks. Make it face thin side up, stick three toothpicks in it at the middle to hold it up, and put it in a cup of water so it's suspended above the top, but the bottom half is in water. It'll take a while, but soon roots will come then a sprout. Plant it then in a pot.
3. Citrus: Remove seeds, remove aril (thin, slippery seed coating) and set out to dry. Bag Method.
4. Melons: Remove seeds, let dry, bag method. Any melons will work.
5. Apples: Sometimes a seed will be sprouting inside the apple AKA the seed is cracked a bit with a taproot coming out. If you're lucky, this will happen. If you can't find seeds like this, Bag method. Bag them up, put them in the fridge for 30 days, then plant them.
6. Stone fruit (peach, plum, etc.): These are a bit hard, they need cold stratification. Put them in your fridge in baggie method for 30 days-2 months.
7. Papaya: Squeeze one end of the seed to pop the seed out of the aril. After you have enough, put them in a bowl of tepid water for 24 hours and discard any floating seeds.
8. Mango: Eat mango, scrape away bits, very carefully open up the seed to find a lima-bean like seed, baggie method. Try to find one that's not ugly looking... Find one that looks clean or white.
9. Sweet Potato: Suspend in water like avocado seed, pointy side down. Very pretty vine!
10. Prickly Pear: Get a pink one, take out seeds, dry them, bag method, don't keep it too wet.
11. Pomegranate: Chew up aril, don't hurt the seed, bag method.
I have a lot more OP, tell me what kind of fruit you like and I'll tell you how to sprout it. Good luck!
