Planting And Care

• First, water the coconut tree frequently.
• As long as the soil drains well, you really cant water it too often.
• If you decide to repot your coconut tree, remember to add sand or vermiculite to the new soil to keep the water draining well.
• Second, growing coconut palms are heavy feeders that require regular, complete fertilizer.
• Look for a fertilizer that provides both the basic nutrients plus trace nutrients like boron, manganese and magnesium.
