Description for Nariyal, Coconut (Golden Red)
Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Prefers fertile, slightly alkaline, loose, somewhat gritty loams with good drainage. Add lime to acidic soils to adjust the soil pH. Best grown with regular and consistent moisture during the growing season.
Planting and care
To start to grow a coconut plant, begin with a fresh coconut that still has the husk on it. When you shake it, it still should sound like it has water in it. Soak it in water for two to three days. After the coconut has soaked, place it in a container filled with well-draining potting soil.
Caring for Nariyal
- First, water the coconut tree frequently. As long as the soil drains well, you really can’t 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. Third, coconut palms are very cold sensitive.
- If you live in an area that gets cold, your coconut plant will need to come inside for the winter.
- Provide supplemental light and keep it away from drafts.
- In the summer, grow it outdoors and make sure you place it in a very sunny and warm spot.
