How to breed miniature coconut palm

Propagation by seed

A well-growing and relatively strong potted miniature coconut plant can bloom in 3 to 4 years and produce seeds through artificial pollination. Its fruits will mature in about 6 to 7 months. The seeds of the small potted miniature coconut palm just picked can be sown. Before sowing, the seeds of the small potted miniature coconut palm need to be soaked. Place them in warm water at 35℃~40℃ for 36 hours. After the seeds of the small potted miniature coconut palm have absorbed enough water to swell, plant them. Place them at 1.5cm and fill them with soil. Then water them with a sprinkler with a small hole. The water should be poured thoroughly. Then cover the mouth of the pot with plastic film to increase the temperature. The temperature needs to be controlled between 22℃ and 25℃. The seeds of the small potted miniature coconut palm will usually germinate within 30 to 40 days. When the seedlings have 2 or 3 true leaves, they can be potted along with the soil.

Propagation by division

The miniature coconut palm plant in a small pot will have more tillers from the time of seedling emergence to the time of jointing, so it needs to be divided. It is best to propagate immediately after winter ends and before growth resumes in early spring.
