I would think it depends on the climate you live in....I live in a climate that could shoot up to 104F and overnight it goes down to 40F and no I am not in the dessert!!! My avocado lives near my window sill. After it got roots, it took about a week to shoot up .....it must be something about that window!!! My lemon plant were simple seeds from a lemon now it's more than 6 feet tall....sits on the ground but faces the same window as the avocado!!! LOL!! I don't put them outside for the above mentioned reason but would have liked to. In addition to having 104F temps it rained for two days straight actually a downpour leaving 10 inches of rain!!
