Is the miniature coconut palm a shade or sun-loving plant?

Do miniature coconut palms prefer shade or sun?

The dwarf coconut palm is a semi-shade plant. The plant is afraid of strong light, so you must be careful to avoid it during maintenance. But the shade is not necessarily better. If the dwarf coconut palm is kept in a very dark environment for a long time, its growth will be slow.

Although the miniature coconut palm is relatively shade-tolerant, if the maintenance environment lacks light for a long time, it will cause the plant to be thin and grow slowly, so it is best to keep it in a semi-shaded environment with scattered light indoors.

The miniature coconut palm can be exposed to the sun, but it is also afraid of direct sunlight. If the plant grows under the scorching sun, its leaves will become lighter or yellower, losing its ornamental value and easily inducing brown spot disease.

Growth habits of miniature coconut palm

The miniature coconut palm prefers a warm, humid, semi-shady growing environment. The suitable temperature for the plant's growth is 20-30℃. It is not cold-resistant and will go dormant when the temperature is below 13℃. The soil requirements are well-drained, moist, and fertile.

The miniature coconut palm prefers a semi-shady environment, so it can be grown in the living room, doorway, study, or office. Just pay attention to the maintenance of the environment. It can not only decorate the environment well, but also absorb harmful gases in the room.
