How often should I water the miniature coconut palm?

1. Summer

It is hot in summer and water evaporates very quickly. This plant has a good tolerance to high temperatures, but not to drought. The roots of this plant are very developed and can absorb a lot of water, so it likes a humid environment. In summer, you need to water more often, about twice a day, to ensure that the plant's living environment is moist. In summer, watering should be done in the morning. In other seasons, you can water whenever you want, without any special requirements.

2. Winter

The temperature is low in winter, and the plant itself cannot tolerate the cold very well. When it is too cold in winter, if you still keep a lot of water for watering, you may get frostbite, and in serious cases, the roots will turn black and rot. Therefore, in winter, you should reduce the amount of watering and only water once every ten days or more.

3. Other matters needing attention

The small coconut is a very tenacious plant that is not afraid of water shortage. Even if you forget to water it, it will still remain green for a long time. It is not at all like other delicate plants that will wither due to lack of care. So generally we can wait until the plant looks very dry before watering it, and each time we water it we must water it a lot and make sure it is watered thoroughly. Overwatering is often the cause of plant disease. Generally we water it once a week, and a little more watering will make it grow well.

During the rapid growth season, we need to water it more. Keep the planting soil moist at all times to ensure that the plants have adequate supply of water for growth and will grow well.

If flower lovers are very concerned about their young coconut trees, they can use a small notebook to record the amount of watering and the impact of the plant's growth under certain temperatures and fertilizer application levels. You can also record the changes in temperature and make a watering plan based on the temperature. Water more when the temperature is high and less when the temperature is low. I believe that everyone's small coconuts will grow better and better.
