Growing tips

The coconut palm thrives best in tropical climates with high temperatures, plenty of sunlight and well-drained, sandy soil. It requires high humidity and regular watering, but does not tolerate waterlogging. Germination takes place from the whole nut, which is half buried in the soil. A sheltered location with sufficient space for root growth is ideal. As coconut palms are salt-tolerant, they grow well near the coast. Regular fertilization with potassium and magnesium promotes growth and fruit formation.
