Growing a coconut palm at home can be an excellent choice. When it is well taken care of, a coconut palm will grow with incredible pinnate leaves that only add to its beauty.

Nowadays coconuts are grown in a lot of different ways. One way is by starting with an already germinated nut.

It may be possible for you to grow one on your own, although chances of success vary depending on the time it takes until the plant’s harvest and other factors that are unknown at this time.

Variant 1

Planting a pregerminated coconut is not difficult, you can do it from any home DIY or gardening center. The only thing you need to make sure of is the type of soil (Kokohum).

Carefully plant your succulents, following the instructions below, and make sure they’ll have plenty of light and water.

This plant can grow into a beautiful vine, if you take good care of it. Here’s a video of how to grow a coconut palm:

Variant 2

If you buy the right kind of young coconut, removing its outer fibers may prove to be a simple task.

Fill a bucket with warm water and poor over the fruit, soaking just half of the fruit in it. Put the bucket somewhere nice and cozy—it should grow within 2 months!

Here’s how to plant a coconut seed: First, find a spot that gets plenty of sunshine and water the seedling every day. After two weeks, it will grow into a magnificent plant!

Care

The most important thing to do for a healthy coconut tree is to monitor the room temperature. Ideally, you should keep it around 60-80 degrees.

You should also try spraying water on the leaves of plants every other day. This will help increase humidity in your home.

If you want to make sure your plants grow into lush and fruitful trees, it would be good to put them under a shady spot. Your plants will most likely receive too much exposure from the sun if you place them in a well-lit spot.

During the summer, water your plant every day and fertilize it once a week. In the fall, reduce watering to two times a month and stop fertilizer all together when winter comes in order for the roots to take some time off from growth.

If you keep this type of palm indoors over the winter, it’ll get about 1-1/2 metres tall. If you grow it outdoors year round (in USDA zones 7 or higher), it can get up to 3 meters high.

You must repot your bonsai every two years in order to keep it healthy. To do this, simply place the half of the root ball that is out of soil first and then replant. When the tree is replanted, allow for room for new root development and better drainage during periods without rain.
