How to plant coconut? Can it be planted in pots?

1. How to plant coconut

1. Processing coconuts: If you want to grow coconuts, you must buy old dark brown coconuts, such as hairy coconuts with the skin removed. Soak the coconuts in water for three days, then place them in a plastic bag with a little water, with the bag open. After a while, the coconuts will sprout.

2. Planting coconuts: After the coconuts sprout, find a flower pot that is slightly larger than the coconuts, prepare moist soil, bury the sprouted coconuts with the sprouts facing upwards in the soil, water them thoroughly after planting, place them in a well-lit and ventilated place, and ensure that the maintenance temperature is not lower than 12°C.

3. Maintenance after planting: After the first leaf of the coconut unfolds, move the potted plant to the south balcony to get more sunlight. Provide appropriate shade in summer to avoid direct sunlight. Keep the potting soil moist during the growing period. Spray water on the plant frequently in summer. In winter, when the temperature is low, wait until the soil is almost dry before watering.

4. Transplanting and planting: After the coconut tree sprouts, it will grow very quickly. As the plant grows, you need to gradually change to a larger pot. When the coconut tree grows to the ideal height, you don’t need to change the pot anymore. Properly control the maintenance and keep the coconut tree at half a meter high for the best appearance.

2. Can coconut be planted in pots?

Coconuts can be planted in pots, but potted coconuts cannot grow large and can only be used as ornamental foliage plants at home. If you want the coconuts to bear fruit, you still have to gradually change to larger pots as the plants grow, and finally transplant them into the ground.
