Okay, pictures are ready. Yes, like Gretaduck said, you place the pointed end UP. I like to use three toothpicks for stability. First the seed splits, then the root emerges, then the shoot. I think it took about a couple weeks for the roots to emerge. We'd guess our plant is probably three months old or so now. I'l probably plant ours soon, and then after awhile longer the pit will fall off completely. I was worried with ours because the tip of the shoot dried out. Luckily the shoot got long enough for two shoots to grow off the stem! Just be patient and I'm sure it will work for you. We have ours in a south window, and as you can see, they grow toward the light! I need to be better about rotating it. :) Have fun!
