Coco Nucifera | Coconut Palm (XL)

Close your eyes for a bit will you? Just let Coco here whisky you away to her favourite tropical destination where you find yourself on warm sandy beaches, sipping summery drinks topped with little straw hats. If the sound of that puts a spring in your step you should consider taking this tropical beauty home. Put Coco somewhere where she can enjoy plenty of light but keep her away from drafts, she's sparsely clothed and catches a cold quickly. Brrr!

How to care for Coco

Coco Nucifera or Coconut Palm as commonly called is a slow growing but beautiful tropical plant. The first leaves form and protrude from its unhusked riped nut after about 4-6 months (under ideal conditions.) but it can take up to 5 years for the plant to reach 4-5 ft in length. This mature coconut here is already at least 4 ft and needs to be in soil that is slightly moist at all times and watered with lukewarm water. Coconut plams are used to receiving a lot of light for optimal growth so make sure you have a nice spot reserved for this beauty where she can get vast amounts of indirect light and some direct light if possible.
