How to Grow Coconut Tree

In this video I am going over how to grow coconut trees. There are many ways to start a coconut and to plant a coconut tree, I'm going over a few methods for germination. Growing coconut trees / growing coconut palms indoors is a larger and more complex discussion, there will be a different video on how to grow coconut palms indoors or how to grow coconut palm trees as houseplants. Coconuts can be started by simply potting them one half to two thirds into a container full or sand, or a soil & sand blend with equal parts sand as the minimum, but can certainly use more sand than soil also. How to sprout coconuts is pretty simple and can also be done in a bucket with a rock to weigh down the coconut, or in a large bag full of water. Place the bucket or bag somewhere warm and dark for 3 to 5 days and then go ahead and them pot them up. If starting a coconut indoors during the winter, it may be necessary to place the coconut in a large, clear or translucent bag with a damp paper towel and keep that in bright and warm spot until the coconut starts to grow. Seedling heat mats can also be useful, but make sure not to place plastic on them as it may melt. Getting a coconut to sprout is the easy part, though it requires some patience, caring for a coconut palm as a houseplant, that's much more complicated for most people.

I kept a coconut tree inside in the Netherlands for 7 years. My profile picture is a photo of it.

Thank you, I'm actually attempting to grow a store bought coconut myself as of late so I have found your information helpful. I hope it grows, we'll see! 😁

😁 Must say it's a first time experience for me, I have never seen a coconut planted to grow a tree! Nature is Awesome👃 May your garden be blessed with a beautiful coconut tree! 😇

Exciting! Can't wait for the houseplant version!

[sandyg]

Hi Jeff! This was fun to watch even though I'll probably never try it because of the heat and light you said they need. You sound like you're doing really well, which makes me, and I'm sure everyone, happy! Thank you so much for sharing!

[kristinfolden]

TY for showing how to grow one without husking it

Hi Jeff, had one of these coconut palms many years ago way back and did not have much luck, bought it from a garden centre already grown a reasonable size. I did how ever manage to grow palms from seed which was great, but they did take over a year to germinate. I lived in a very hot country so they just lived outside and got on with it! Thank you for doing this video, I look forward to the rest, I might get a beloved palm in my house that will look good. Take care and enjoy your garden.🌈🐾🇬🇧💕😁☀️☀️☀️

Great video, I have one I started from the grocery store using the bag method, it took about 6 months to sprout.

🥥🥥🦜🌴🌴 All hail the coconut! Makes a fine flavor of RUM too! Add it to your Coke and it's like being in Florida! You can drop an aquarium heater in the water bucket method. 🤙 Thanks Jeff

Does the coconut have to have water inside in order for it to sprout?
