Thank you "Kiwigrower" for demonstrating and clearly explaining the procedurse for growing a husked coconut.

[@460faust]

thats really cool,,,,,just be careful where you plant it....a town in south florida thought it would be a good idea to plant them down the edge of the side walks.....not thinking in 8 years they would have bowling balls falling down on parked cars...lol...

[@LilRiverRascal]

LOL! They certainly didn't think that one through! Thanks for the tip, and laugh! :D

[@WuHa105]

That is awesome. It would be worth having a bowling ball fall on my head...to have coconut trees

[@Gymnastzz]

In Marco island, they cut down the coconuts before they ripen, so they don’t fall on people.

[@rosariosaintgeraud1362]

Th-ankhs for posting this video... I have one sprouted coconut out of three using this process... :) I had left the coconuts soaking for 6 days accidentally, but it worked out just the same, and then 2 days after placing them in the ziplock one of the coconut seeds sprouted... now I will place it in the sun and let nature take its course. This made my year.... super stoked! Peace kiwigrower

[@johnifly]

I agree with JonaVicis! I know I started a navel orange tree over 10 years ago and used a soil mix with more sand in the mix and my tree has been doing good all these years! Years before this I just grew it in potting mix and after awhile the leaves would turn brown and drop off due to too much moisture. The roots need to breath! :-)

[@ovieolori2398]

Finally a video that shows how to grow a coconut. You just earned yourself a new subscriber

[@AmitKumar-hq3ms]

Really nice to see the coconut germinate. Actually we here in India (Hindus), in some part of the country keep a non-dehusked, normal coconut on a small pot filled with water(which is frequently changed) in front of the god place. We pray in font of it. Sometime it germinates and after a couple of months it grows into 2-3 feet plant on the water pot. It probably signifies prosperity. Later it is planted in kitchen garden in our back yard or at some apt place. We at my home never really had a such an event. I always wished I had one such growth at my place. So today when I saw you do the video it reminds me of myself when I had also tried like you to have it assisted germination. But it never worked. But for now with your inputs I am going to try your ways. Thanks a lot!

That's awesome. I didn't know coconuts from the store would grow.

[@somerford-kingproductions4457]

My coconut has sprouted it's fist root. I'm really excited, however I used a slightly different method. I soaked it for 3 days like you did, and put it in a bag for a few weeks, but then I decided to plant it strait in the soil to see what would happen. As of today (1st of September) my coconut has pushed a root through one of the 'eyes'. I hope this helps.

[@UrbanArtCentral]

The sound of the insects in your garden is amazing!

[@jeffd7302]

Good video. I tried the bag method, and all I got was a decayed nut. Planting outside in a plastic pot with dark potting soil in the summer had better results. No prior soaking either, and this time it sprouted. I think the heat helps. I don't think this would have worked inside at room temperature. Pretty neat though. Who knew this was even possible?

[@xmas19611]

[@shereephelps5661]

Great video. Enjoyed it. I used to live in the Virgin Islands and would go to a remote beach that had a coconut orchard (it was dark back in there and along a natural mountain rain run off) to collect small coconut trees after they'd sprouted. I never tried to grow from a coconut myself, but now that I'm back in the states, I plan to try it your way! Thanks for sharing!

[@OccHazzard]

I really appreciate how you've got text in addition to audio. handy if the viewer has to keep it muted for whatever reason.

[@WuHa105]

Wow, this is so cool! I couldn't stop smiling from seeing the sprout to the end of the video. I'm going to try this as soon as I can get a coconut! Tried last year, even got the sand ready for my soil mix, but didn't quite use this method and failed.

[@SteffDR]

Thanks a million times man! I live in Belgium, where the weather is 'shit' all year long, but I hve my coconut sprouting. I have a centimeter sprout for about 2 weeks now, it takes a realy long time, I hope the sprout won't go bad. We'll see what will happen. Greetings from Belgium

[@varelq]

I'm just trying to grown my own Coconut from a coco I found during my accomodation in Gabonese. I keep it in water for 3 days and now I put it stright into a plant pot. Unfortunatelly it's not hot enough here... but I hope all will be fine. If I have no luck with this I will try your tutorial. It looks so easy. THANKS!

[@riverp9019]

Its like magic! I have other palm seeds sprouting now and its so exciting when they do, well done. You can wrap the coconut in spagnum moss that you wet then squeese dry till just damp, placed in the bag around the cocnut this will keep the roots warm and moist as they appear which is what the old (rotting husk) husk would do. You could also use coconut fibre (LOL) bought from the garden shop. Your way is excelent, though. Unhusked coconuts are huge and difficut to handle, they take much longer to sprout too. I reckon sandy soil is best at least that's what they like in the "wild" growing in almost pure beach sand as they do. I wonder myself if this is why the seed is so big so the seedling has plenty of food in that poor sand. Maybe when the roots reach right down bellow the beach there is proper earth who knows? Hope you can find a nice warm enough micro climate to plant it. If its too cold and it doesn't make it don't worry try a few Nikau palm seeds. New Zealands Nikau palms are spectacular and can take slightly cooler weather. I can't grow them its too hot and humid here ):

I have a coconut palm that I bought online and it’s looking really healthy!

[@watertothepeople]

very nice video..good work! I live in Brazil and coconut palms grow here in sandy soil mainly, but you find them also on other soil, most of the time its kind of a poor and soft soil. guees they don't get much niutrients out of the soil here having big leaves for lots of photosynthesis. The many strong roots they develop all around the base of the stem are mor likely for good fixation as they are exposed to strong winds especialy at the beaches. good luck on you palm! plant it at the sunniest spot you have. cheers mate

[@Rickatspeedoflight]

Great video! Thanks. I have sprouted coconuts that way, too. I find you have to protect the nut from the hot sun after transplanting as it can crack and the seed then dies.

[@brianlaufer1356]

Add a pinch of sea salt regularly for its nutrition. I learned this is essential for growing outside of its native environment. :the beach. Thank so much for the inspiration. My first just sprouted

[@TreyD1515]

I haven't tried this before with a palm, but I read somewhere that if you soak or wash seeds in water with a little bit of hydrogen peroxide that they will not get moldy, and that works, and when a bonsai of a friend of mine got moldy I recommended to wash it in a little hydrogen peroxide diluted in water and that worked, got rid of all the mold. So I would try that to keep your bag clean.

[@MyInspiredCreation]

I tried this in Pennsylvania after seeing the vid, I was going to throw it out cuz I thought it didn't work after keeping it in the bag several months at 90 degrees, well I completely FORGOT and checked the seed yesterday and a YEAR and a HALF LATER it's sprouted!!! Pretty well along too, potted it up today and I hope it makes it! So....moral is don't give up unless the seeds totally rotted out. Because you might get a palm :D

This is very interesting. I have never seen a dehusked one grow, I thought the process might injure them too much. Congrats on growing it, and thanks for the updates. They need really warm soil (so I've been told) cause they don't fight funguses very well.

[@Derek_Wong]

I don't know if you remember me, but my coconut finally sprouted haha, I even forgot about it until you commented on a video and it reminded me of it. But it only has a little numb coming out of it. I just replaced the water and am letting it sit in a windowsill.

[@TheLazysketcher]

This is the most amazing thing ive seen grown at home! Gotta try this as soon as i can get my hands on a good coconut! Also, i think the soil should be sand-blended, seeing as palm trees love to grow on beaches in the sand.

[@mauriciomadera5239]

Great video, I love palm trees and coconuts are very beatiful ones. I watched your video and I decided to try to sprout the coconut. I have left the coconut submerged in water for three days, I'll wait one more day to put it in the ziploc bag. Does is matter if the water of the bucket turns brownish? It doesn't smell bad but I'm worried. I live in Mexico, the weather in my hometown is very dry and hot

[@CameronJames]

pro tip, if your going to wrap the root(s) in paper towel, just keep in mind a considerable proportion of paper towel available in supermarkets contains bleach which is used to dye it white, u'll need the non bleached/green brand :)

[@TreyD1515]

If I had a larger tropical freshwater tank I wonder if I could actually germinate the coconuts with the fish and plants and invertebrates still in there. How has that worked out for you by the way? Do you think the aerated water makes a difference?

[@blurybury]

GREAT video! very informative great at explaining details good job! i enjoyed seeing the various stages of your coconuts' growth so looks like you are 2 for 4. so 50% success isnt bad and since you mention it comes down to choosing a good coconut i wondering if time i go to look for one in store matters (seasonal item perhaps? or maybe ask the store manager when the fresh ones come in?) what climate are you growing in? i live in Rhode island USA 41.7° N, 71.5° W (colder climate) thank you!

[@pukaarorg]

Nice methodology! Thank you for sharing such techniques.

[@mbrown2776]

Coconut is highly tolerant to low, to very rich soils. Hence why you can find them growing in sandy soils near the sea, to riches soils/compost inland. I believe they pref temps between 25-35dc ideally. 👊🏾

[@underoath2k7]

damn i tried these several times with no success! this is actually a great vid and hopefully see some more! subscribed 4 sure!! im gona buy a few coconuts again!!

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Coconuts temperatures limitation are that they cannot survive with soil temps below 60f or 15.5c for very long or they get root rot. They prefer at least 21c. Surprising that there is only 1 single old coconut tree growing in Newport beach, ca. There is also a few in the Kermadec islands of New Zealand, but its to cool in winter to reproduce.

[@kalatiolatai7098]

Oh by the way the mold helps the coconut grow more prosperously when its fully grown. So it really good that it has mold, cause when its fully grown it will bare even more fruit

[@StoicObserverS]

The coconut you bought was probably irradiated. Get a young coconut (white coconut z) if you can. The brown ones are typically so old they are garbage

[@intezamable]

the green cover (coconut coir) is full of sugars and natural growth hormones. One can simulate this environment with saw dust, honey and willow water and the seedling will be much stronger. Also, the eyes need not to face up, but sideways with the soft one buried in the saw dust. Btw, the honey prevents fungus when keeping the bag on a radiator/water boiler...etc. The willow water is full of growth hormone (crush willow leaves/stems and soak them in tap water for a 2 days). Instead of sawdust one could also use expensive coco peat...

[@viniciusdutra8270]

[@torontocan]

Brilliant idea. Thank you. I have one in the plastic bag already. About 10 years ago I was lucky enough to find the coconut sprouted (it was orange sprout) in the storage bin. The plant has been in a pot indoors since then, but the leaves haven't separated yet. I get about 3 leaves per year...very slow growth, but the dried leaves are good for my orchids.
