To raise pocket coconuts, loose and fertile soil should be used. Good drainage is conducive to root breathing. You can use leaf mold soil and river sand to prepare pot soil. Usually, it should be properly shaded or placed in a semi-shade place, and the temperature should be kept between 15-30℃. Liquid fertilizer can be applied 1-2 times a month during the growth period. It needs to be diluted before fertilizing to prevent the roots from burning with concentrated fertilizer. Watering should be adjusted according to the season, watering once every 3 days in spring and autumn, 2-3 times a day in summer, and once every 10 days in winter.

1. How to grow

1. Loose soil: Pocket coconuts should be planted in loose, fertile, well-drained soil, which is helpful for root growth and respiration. If you want to prepare your own potting soil, you can mix it with leaf mold soil and river sand. The ratio of the two is 3:1. In addition, you should add a small amount of base fertilizer to increase soil fertility and supplement nutrients.

2. Suitable light and temperature: Pocket coconut is sensitive to light It has strong adaptability, but usually needs to be kept in a semi-shady place. Avoid being exposed to direct light for a long time and should not be exposed to the sun, otherwise the leaves will easily wither and turn yellow. The temperature during the growth period should be controlled between 15-30°C. If it exceeds 35°C in summer, spray water to cool it. In winter, if it is lower than 5°C, pay attention to cold protection.

3. Water frequently: Pocket coconut likes a humid environment and has a high demand for water. Therefore, when watering, it should be wet rather than dry. If the climate is too dry, the plant will be stunted. In addition to regular watering, spray water on the leaves to increase air humidity and make the leaves shiny. Watering should be controlled in winter, which is more conducive to overwintering.

4. Pay attention to fertilization: Pocket Coconut has a strong influence on fertilizers. The demand is not high, just apply fertilizer 1-2 times a month during the growth period. Liquid fertilizer is mostly used for better absorption. Growth is slow in winter and no fertilization is required. In addition, in order to avoid thick fertilizer burning the roots, it needs to be fully diluted before fertilization to reduce the concentration of fertilizer.

2. How often to water?

Pocket coconut has different water needs in different seasons. Spring and autumn are its growth periods, and it needs to be watered once every three days. In summer, when the temperature is high, you need to water 2-3 times a day and spray water appropriately to moisturize. In winter, the temperature is low and the plants grow slowly. Watering once every 10 days is sufficient.
