You will be able to tell the two sides from one another one side will come to a point while the other will not the side that does not is the side we will be submerging in water thus making it the bottom where the root will grow. Pierce toothpicks just above the bottom in order for them to hold the avocado over the water on the pot. Submerging only the very bottom.
