Avocado - Bacon (B) ^5/10

Comments: -

One of my favourites Avocado.  It used to have plenty of leaves when I got it.  It flowered and slowly the leaves were falling.   I don't know why??? I checked what it looks like inside and underneath the pot ....I saw plenty of worms.   Really plenty of worms in the soil inside the pot.  I changed the organic soil and now new leaves are developing.
