COCONUT PALM

Light:
☀️ Full sun is a must — Coconut palms need at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily to thrive.

Water:
💧 Water deeply and regularly. Keep the soil consistently moist but well-drained. Do not allow to sit in water.

Soil:
🌱 Sandy, well-draining soil. Coconut palms do best in coastal or tropical soils that don’t retain excess moisture.

Temperature:
🌡️ Tropical plant — prefers warm climates (70–95°F / 21–35°C). Not frost-tolerant. Hardy in USDA zones 10–11.

Humidity:
💦 Loves high humidity. Misting is helpful in drier environments.

Fertilizer:
🌼 Feed with a palm-specific fertilizer rich in potassium and magnesium, 3–4 times per year, especially during the growing season.

Pruning:
✂️ Remove only dead or damaged fronds. Avoid over-pruning — the palm needs a healthy crown to grow well.

Growth Habit:
🌴 Tall, iconic palm tree that can reach up to 60–100 feet in the ground. Slow-growing but long-lived in tropical landscapes.
