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.

Huh, I never thought or knew that the whole Coconut was the actual seed! Learn something new every day! Thank you for the video. Hope you're doing well. 🌿
Thank you! They are fun to grow!
😁 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! 😇
Thank you! Yes, nature is awesome!
I kept a coconut tree inside in the Netherlands for 7 years. My profile picture is a photo of it.
Wow
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! 😁
Hope it goes well for you! They are fun to germinate!
Exciting! Can't wait for the houseplant version!
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!
Thank you sandy! Yeah, they are kind of a pain to grow indoors. I am feeling much better, thank you!
Thank you so much for this, Jeff, it was all so interesting! You made me think of other things like this we could do, other tropical plants. I love your videos, they're so fun & informative. YOU make them fun & informative! I'm so happy you're doing better, I can hear it in your voice, as I'm sure everyone else does. You're surrounded by love & prayer.....everyone's. Much love to my lil brother (Yes! I claim you as my lil brother! lol).
Aww! Hey Dawn! Thank you! I'm feeling better everyday! There are a lot of fun things to do like this, can sprout avocados, grow pineapple tops, plant mangos and ginger, the grocery store is basically a plant nursery. ... least for us plant obsessed people😂🤣 hope you are doing well! 🤗
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.🌈🐾🇬🇧💕😁☀️☀️☀️
Hey Debra! You're not alone there, coconuts don't do well as houseplants for most people, they have very specific needs, especially once they get to be a few feet tall.
Super good, thorough video. Thanks!
:) WOW!! Coconut!!! WOW! Why Thank you! Now I can't get the song "Ya put the lime in the coconut & shake it all up" outta my head! Hahahahaha! Have a great one Jeff! :)
😂🤣 there were a lot of songs I wanted to use, but youtube and their copyright laws. Blah! Lol!
I love your instructional videos. Your a great teacher!
Thank you!
Really great info and I feel ready to go!Thanks!!
I like the way you showed stages of coconut. Thank you so much for doing this video
Wow I never thought about growing a coconut. Great information
Thank you!
Great demonstration!
Hi Jeff never tried this but it does look like fun .I don't think I can do this and help it grow but thank you it was fun to watch keep on growing happy planting see you next time.Still in my prayers hope all is well and good you sound great please take care stay safe .
Thanks Kit! Feeling better everyday. Hope you are having a great week!
TY for showing how to grow one without husking it
fantastic - just what I needed to know.
Thank you for this info.
I’ve wanted to taste a sprouted coconut for a very long time. This is a great and informative video. I think I will be able to get some good results - thanks!
🥥🥥🦜🌴🌴 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
Aquarium heater! Great suggestion! I used a pond de-icer once when I was a teenager and melted my bucket. Learned then that it's best to use something with a controllable thermostat. Oops! 😂🤣
Great video
Great video, I have one I started from the grocery store using the bag method, it took about 6 months to sprout.
Did you use a whole coconut or a husked one?
Tropical Plant Party husked
Maybe could you put it on a heat mat for seed starting?💚🙃 Kinda sounds like fun, maybe I’ll google a dwarf variety. Thanks Jeff, hope your healing well💚🙃
Always a great option! Thank you, Judy! So far I'm healing wonderfully!
Hey Jeff. Great to hear about growing coconuts. I've never tried it but I suspect with my lack of winter light I'd end up finishing it off! Take care and hope the healing is continuing well. Cheers 👍
Yeah, they do need plenty of light, that's ok, there are tons of other cute plants for shade. Thank you! Hope you're having a great week!
Nice
Wow!!!!
Amazing video, thanks for the cool tips!! Would love to grow my own cocomuts in my own London urban jungle 🌱 i would of course share my learnings on my plant youtube channel 😊💚
Definitely worth giving a try! They are so fun to grow!
I need to try to sprout a fresh coconut with the hush sill on it one day. I have two coconut palms growing in a pot and their doing very well! 😁 I’ve tried to sprout three coconuts from the grocery store and sadly they didn’t sprout at all:(
Tedious!
hey there mate. how long does take for the leaves to split? mine is over a year old and the leaves havent split yet but they have gotten huge
Coconuts are fine above freezing. They don't care that much if the temperature drops below 50. Zone 10a is above 30 degrees F.
Make all the coconut videos!
Is it okay if a part of the root on my seedling is exposed to air
Take the coconut put it in the bush through some bust over it and in no time. Boom it grows right through the stuff.
Hi Jeff. This is off topic but I have a question. I took ginger root from the grocery and potted it in May now looking at it one of the pots has a few sprouts about 2 to 3"tall. I'm in zone 5A/6B and have no bright light inside so inside is not an option. What can I do to keep this alive?
Hello! The curcumas commonly sold in the grocery stores prefer a dorman period, so in the fall it should naturally die back on it's own. You can store them somewhere cool, dry and dark and in the spring replant them and they'll start growing again.
"Your house burns down you can't blame me for that be careful" lol
What kind of soil I love in Florida
Hi! My coconut sprouted a nub but I shook it and it has no water inside, did it just drink up all the water or is it dead?
Do you have to start with a coconut that is already brown but with water still in it or can you start with a coconut that is still green.
Does the coconut have to have water inside in order for it to sprout?
Can you plant them into the ground ?
Okay where do you get your coconuts to start with if not at store?
There are a lot of website that sell whole coconuts, like produce sites and online nurseries. Ive even seen them on amazon.
I want to know if you drain the water out of the coconut
Where did you get the coconut?
I am from the Caribbean coconut is a lot to ask but it grow far from the tree dry and they grow Trinidad have a blessed day
Thank you! Hope you have a great weekend!
Do you actually place them in the outside yard????
my mission should I chose to accept it... find a coconut ..... I dont even have a coconut icon on my phone 😆😄🤣
😂🤣 yeah! Why isn't there a coconut emoji!?
Will the coconut end up getting rotten and fall apart, or will it be there the lifetime of the tree??
What Type do feed the coconut palms 🤔
Like I said before .. when I win the lotto and move to a tropical island. 🌴. Yes please. 😂
Yes please indeed!
Your coconut of your video, is dwarf or tall one???
I just brought one for $25 plus shipping $40, already sprout 🌱, I’m living in PA. 🤦🏾♀️, when winter ❄️ I’ll put it inside my house by the heat
Didn't know coconuts could be bonsai
They can and they look amazing!
This was something I meant to mention in my comment but, of course, forgot. lol I'd LOVE to see the coconut bonsai - in fact, any kind of bonsai, but, especially coconut. I never knew you could do that & am looking forward to all of it, especially your take on it, Jeff! Thanks so much for reminding me of this, @Louise Colombi !
Check out RUclips "Coconut bonsai." There are LOTS of videos mostly Asian. It doesn't matter that you don't speak the language, the videos are self-explanatory. I've done regular bonsai for years and have just started doing coconut bonsai. Wait til you see what's possible!!!
Why is the subtitle is weird
Never had one cause my family aren't fans of any palm trees.

omg just get to the point. who cares about the water heater….😂
