How to reproduce miniature coconut palm

The common method of propagation of miniature coconut palm is sowing. Its seeds can be propagated, and the natural way of reproduction is sowing. The fastest way of propagation of miniature coconut palm is by division.

Miniature coconut palm breeding time

The survival rate of miniature coconut palms is high in spring. The temperature at this time is generally around 20 degrees, which is suitable for the germination of the root system. The following is the vigorous growth period of the plant, which can evaporate and grow quickly, and the survival rate of planting is relatively high.

Propagation of miniature coconut palm by division

After the miniature coconut palm sprouts, it will produce many tillers until the jointing stage, so it is necessary to divide the plants in time, preferably in late winter and early spring.

Sowing and propagation of miniature coconut

1. A miniature coconut plant that grows well and healthily needs to be cared for for 3-4 years before it blooms and undergoes artificial pollination to obtain seeds. After that, it needs to be cared for for 6-7 months before its fruit can mature. The seeds should be picked in time after the fruit matures.

2. Before sowing, you can soak the seeds in warm water at 35℃ ~ 40℃ for 36 hours. After the seeds have absorbed enough water and expanded, plant them, place them 1.5 cm deep and fill them with soil. Then water them with a sprinkler with a small hole. Water them thoroughly, then cover the mouth of the pot with plastic film to increase the temperature.

3. After sowing the miniature coconut, the temperature needs to be controlled between 22℃ and 25℃. The seeds of the miniature coconut in small pots will usually germinate within 30-40 days. When the seedlings have 2 or 3 true leaves, they can be potted together with the soil.

Notes on breeding of miniature coconut palms

Miniature coconut palms should be grown in weakly alkaline soil with a small amount of clay. The pots need to be changed every three years. Thin liquid fertilizer needs to be applied 3-4 times in spring and autumn when the plants are growing vigorously during the seedling stage.
