Growth:

The coconut palm is a slender, unbranched, high up to 30m palm. The trunk is often curved. The palm tree with large pinnate leaves about 25 to 50, from about 100-250 leaflets exist. At the base of the leaves caused inflorescences panicles. There are hundreds of men, but made only a few female flowers. The coconut can bloom several times a year, so fruit can vary in different stages of maturity on the palm.

location:

summer	Sunny and hot! Throughout the year, needs the coconut palm in full sun. Shading is not an advantage. The temperature can reach 30 ° C without problems.
Winter	Even in winter it will be warm, go for temperatures of 20 ° C or more. Artificial lighting helps during the winter months. Also, the root area of the palm should be warm (hot water and avoid cold surface). Room entertainment is not ideal, not for the high light requirement and the required high humidity can be granted. Sooner or later, the palm is likely to perish.

cultivation / propagation:

is the simplest of buying a core germinated with 1 or 2 seed leaves, which are always available in stores and hardware stores.

second possibility is the farming of a walnut. Buy in the spring with a fresh fruit. This is lying half stuck in the substrate, a glove and put the entire vessel in a transparent plastic bag. Place the nuts in a light and up to 30 ° C warm place. Avoid direct sunlight, however. Then, you must have patience, because the germination can take six months or longer.

Another possibility is that you get a fresh coconut, then wrap them with peat and put it in a network. Well suited an "Orange Power" is (plastic netting in the citrus fruits are offered). Now, the whole is kept moist. After some time the entire peat is covered with fine roots. Then carefully removed and the network will set the whole thing halfway into the ground.

The increase in producer countries, the outer pericarp (exocarp) and the float is left on the fruit.

Each Leaflet with around 100-250 leaflets.

substrate:

Mix some sand, clay and potting soil. You should compact the soil well. This you can use a solid object.

provide the first real leaflets, with a length of 2-6 meters, a challenge to the available space size.

This offered for sale, young coconut trees do not already have the typical leaflets.

casting:

Pour only warm water to prevent the Growth stops. The root ball should be slightly moist but not wet. To salt accumulation in soils, the coconut palm is insensitive.

fertilizing:

Fertilize very little, because the palm is usually quite large. 2 times a year is sufficient. Coconut palms have a relatively high demand for salt (NaCl) on. What in their natural habitat (on the beach) is no surprise. A small amount of salt per year is sufficient for a small palm tree. Adult forms are, however, require up to 2 kg of salt per year.

a ) Outer pericarp (exocarp) 2 ) float (mesocarp) 3 ) Inner pericarp (the endocarp) 4 ) Kopraschicht (solid endosperm) and coconut water (liquid endosperm)

fruiting / harvesting:

we will not bloom For the coconut and schedule therefore no fruit. In their home the fruits of 8-16 months of maturation after flowering. A palm tree can be up to 100 fruits supply per year. The coconut is a drupe. It has a smooth outer pericarp, including the following fibrous float, then follows the inner woody pericarp. The first two layers are at coconuts, which are in our trade, almost always removed. It is still the only woody pericarp available. You probably all know, have ever opened a coconut. The nuts reach lengths of up to 30cm. The outer wall of the fruit can be yellow, green or reddish brown. The flesh is white.

Tip: How do I open a coconut quickly and effectively?

Method 1:
first with a sharp object (be careful!) Make two of the three small depressions on the follower, a hole up inside. Now, can pour out the coconut water. Capture it in a glass, then you can drink it later.
second whole coconut with momentum on a hard surface throw. Well suited asphalt, concrete or thick slab.
Tip: go outside :-) Take
the nut so that the thickest part aufschlagt on the ground. If they just hit the equator of the nut on an edge, jumping on the coconut beautiful.

Method 2:
Take a hard, heavy object with an edgy, blunt side (eg, machete) and suggests that a "ring" around the coconut equator. Then there breaks the structure of the wall and you can remove the upper part as a cap. The bottom is then the milk.
With practice, you become a coconut-cracking professional.

The float (mesocarp) provides the coconut fibers, which can be used universally.
