you can grow an avocado seed this way at least up until it is about two months old i dont know after that. but it gets roots and starts growing. you will need an avocado seed, toothpicks,and glass of water, you have to stab the seed with three tooth picks spaced evenly around the seeds middle, the toothpicks will hold the seed on top of the cup, next fill the glass with water so that the seed only gets wet for about an inch. after a week you will see results

This isn’t really a green project unless you use organic liquid fertilizer.

that kool aid wate and milk idea is a bad idea, the milk would go bad and smell disgusting, plus plants could grow in kool aid (we all know that kool aid is water with powder in it, and its pointless

If you don’t have a cork a regular water bottle with a hole punched in the cap works great.

This is a great idea. Philodendren houseplants really like to grow this way. Also potatoes will grow by growing roots in a cup of water. Spider plant hous plants grow tremendous root systems just by growing the house plants in water. Sometimes, house plant food spikes (such as Jobe’s house plant fertilizer food spikes) will dissolve right into the cup of water to provide nourishment to the house plants.

During WWII, American bases in the Pacific were supplied with fresh vegtables from hydroponic gardens.

Take a look at some of the tomatoes in the supermarket and you will find some hydroponic tomatoes.
