The exotic plant is capricious; for full growth and development it requires a microclimate close to natural.

If the maintenance conditions are violated, the palm tree stops growing and may die.

Moreover, if in the natural environment a coconut grows for several decades, at home it can grow no more than 6-7 years.

How does a coconut tree reproduce

The palm tree reproduces in two ways - from nuts and shoots.

Since only an adult palm produces daughter shoots, at home the main method, and, as a rule, the only method of propagation is by seed.

How to care for a coconut in a pot

To provide the coconut in the pot with care for the successful development of the exotic plant, the plant is watered abundantly in spring and summer.

The main thing is to prevent excess moisture in the flowerpot and dry out the soil. In winter, watering is reduced to once every seven to ten days, but the substrate is kept moist.

Coco soil does not need to be watered “a lot and often”. The consumption of the working solution is minimal.

In addition, watering is needed no more than the plant actually “drinks.”

Coconut has almost no evaporation from above; the humidity of the substrate is almost the same, both below and on the surface.
