Cultivation methods of wine bottle coconut

Temperature and light

Bottle coconut grows faster in a high-temperature semi-shady environment and should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Under the scorching sun, its leaves will turn pale or yellow, and produce scorched leaves and black spots, seriously reducing its ornamental value. It is more tolerant of shade, and the shade degree in summer and autumn is usually about 60%. It should be given brighter scattered light in winter and spring.

Water

Water during growth It is better to be dry than wet, and keep the pot soil moist at all times. Too dry soil will cause the leaf tips to wither and scorch, thus reducing the ornamental value. At the same time, avoid overwatering, otherwise it will easily cause leaf rot and black spot disease, causing the leaves to turn yellow or even die. Water 2-3 times a day in summer, and spray water around the plants frequently to increase the air humidity in the growing environment, promote plant growth, and keep the leaves dark green and shiny. Appropriately reduce the amount of watering in winter to facilitate overwintering.
