My coconut tree after 6 weeks a white root has appeared I'm pleased but do I leave it till the root is bigger
What simple illustration , I love it and I am going to try

Hows the tree going now?
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! :-)
Good to see younger people still interrsted in farming and growing good crops and food
Mario Salinas that isn’t true,
i’m 14 and i have 3 avocado trees a jade plant and 4 lemon seedlings and i am going to try a coconut now and apple trees soon love growing plants it’s so much fun and you get such a sense of gratitude when you grow your own plants from seed
@@Bw40099 Agreed
@Party Queen great! I liked your response except the "Duh"
I would love to see an update on your coconut trees! I live in Central FL, USA and am inspired to give this project a go!
Did you do it?
@@ChecoJosuel that's not how you grow a coconut my guy do not follow this. smh
@@cobyp6179 it worked for me smh
@@cobyp6179It literally grew for him, my guy.
Coconut palms are one of the most beautiful palm trees in the world!
Agreed!!
Awesome step-by-step-how-to-video! Wow, I admire how you are able to grow a coconut! I'm waiting for mine to sprout. I haven't checked on it, yet. Thanks for sharing! Definitely looking forward to more videos from you! :)
Very cool video I have always wanted to try and grow one myself but didn't know where to start. Now I have a direction thanks so much. Please keep us up on any developments or changes or tips on growing this nut.
hey man! thanks a lot, this was really helpful! i live in a tropical area and every explanation i found before always sayin that i needed to wait 9 months to watch a sprout, again thank you!!!
Wow! What an excellent how to video. This is how it should be done. Good job mate.
Awwwww!!! The baby kiwigrower!!!!! Lol you were so young in this video!!!
Thank you once again for the tips on how to grow a coconut. Well explained, and demonstrated.
How come iv only just discoverd you 🤔 anywho im gonna have a great deal of mornings watching you.😊
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
Exciting! Good luck with it
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.
I've tried your method, as you told with the 3 dots facing up in the plastic bag. Now the coconut has a white thing coming up out of one of the dot, it seems to work well. I had never success before with a coconut.
Nice methodology! Thank you for sharing such techniques.
I never succeeded to grow coconut but u r so cute it's worth watching ;-)
great idea !!!! best regards from Brazil
Just found your channel and subscribed. Greetings from Alabama. Interesting video I will give this a try.
I think it should be planted in a sandy type of soil as in the natural enviroment . Thank you for sharing your experience.
you can try to look up on the internet in wich soil the most coconut tree grow in i'm sure you will find alot about soil based on coconut tree's
great video!
you gave me interest to try this out myself .
thanks for the inspiration
kind greeting :)
Thanks a lot. I tried 2 coconuts and one germinating now.
cool video. you should try compost tea as a source of nutrients. for more information arc this videos and others.
Growing BIG Vegetables using Compost Tea
This video was really useful to me. Thank you😀😀😀🙂
Super helpful thank you! Did you change the water out regularly?? If so how often?
I did that,I saw where people into tissue culturing plants use it to disinfect their plant cuttings.
You don't need to use a rock. A meteorite, or 1kg gold bullion ingot will suffice equally well.
Very good. Thanks. God bless you.
Great video
So this was made 3,5 years ago. Can we see how big coconut tree is today? :)
+Martin Tõnumaa There is an update video later on. look up The Kiwi Grower .
Martin Ziggy i agree✊👊
Martin Ziggy
Yes I like love to
Thank you so much and I will also try.
Thank you sir....
I would say a sandy soil is best. Many coconut trees grow on sandy beaches. I'd use a cactus mix.
moment when you didnt know coconut trees grew from coconuts thats one bigass seed
Wonderful, well done.
Really good job dear👍👍👍👍
4:54 I suggest coconut soil
THANK U IT HELPED SO MUCH!!
Thank you so much for this video!
Well, I'll just wait and see what happens. And a last question, is not necessary to open ocassionaly the bag for ventilation? I did it and now it doesn't smell too bad, it smells more like coconut water. Thank you :)
Soil should have some sand, lots of ash from a fire plenty of rotted manure and some old rotted wood pieces. Keep adding green table scraps around the perimeter of the tree. Particularly raw eggs with the shells and bananas.
Thanks and it is really helpful. So have a awesome Merry Christmas bro.
***** this is cool ray i had no idea have you seen this?
The warmth of the water has no affect on the seed. Within a few minutes, the waters temp will match the ambient temp anyways.
Wow nice to know 👍🏼 thanx
this is wonderful.
It's Beautiful!
So will this grow in USA, Texas Houston? And if its growing like in the video, can you plant it in the dirt?
Very good, tks ...you help me...baybay..
Would it not be best to plant in something sandy?
how did you keep the water hot for 4 days????????????????
you rock
@TheKiwiGrower Can you please make a video on how to grow Hawaiin coconut tree???
Wow nice
Sand maybe? Too freaking cool
Adorei!
I didnt understand the part of the cupboard it must have hot water or you put it in a warm spot?? Help
thanks
how did you keep the water hot for 4 days or did you change it every 1 hour ..... plz answer i dont understand
If you have a water heater you can place the bucket on top of that. The radiated heat will keep the water warm. Otherwise you can use a small heater to keep the water warm. That's what I'm doing.
If things actually work out I will comment on this video with updates.
Yeah needless to say it didn't germinate. Amazon does have coconut seedlings for sale so try them. A major limiter is the fact that a lot of coconuts tend to be irradiated to keep them alive longer.
Putting it in a 5 -10 hr facing window will naturally warm up the seed.
Thanks brrrrrooooo👌👌👌🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
Nice
nice bro
thank you. i love you.♥
Bravo!!!
I love gardening and this is my wish to grow coconut in my backyard . I am very upset with this
What soil do you use
I hear eating a sprouted coconut is delicious, anyone here try it?
You cannot root a coconut from a store bought coconut. It has to have the husk on it
thanks :)
yeah succces. the white bit on one of the round holes has started to come out. did you find out what soil to use.
Can you help me ??? My coco plant is dying and I need to save it !!! What can I do ???
Hello ! Where are you come from ? I am from Paris and i adore plant what I eat and all that is gardening. What is you name? My name is hélène. My daughter asked me what I wanted for Mother’s Day and I told her two kinds of coconut, a papaille and she brought me a giant lawyer in addition because she knows that I wilted it becomes very quickly giant. For coconuts, disappointment, a tiny one that didn’t look super fit and not too much water inside and the other one is a giant, fresh coconut but ready to eat !!! Looking on the internet a single site told me that it was possible but not sure to germinate the giant ready to consume and for the moment it does not seem to rot (it is completely underground, the sharp side 1 cm from the surface and made like tiny very fine roots, I let it see. Could you test on your side or have you ever done it like you look curious like me? For the tiny nut that I wanted to germinate following your advice and after soaking on 3 eyes there was a white but liquid one that smells bad what to do? Is there a chance of having one more germ? I saw liquid white and it was breathing and making noise as you said but not solid and I realized that it smelled bad, it died? Thank you for giving me the time to respond. You present fruits that I do not recognize that is why I ask you whereyou come from because I am used to exotic fruits. Thank you very much!!! Hélène
just put on the ground and wait 😊

I get coco nuts falling off my tree so I throw it in the back of my yard and a month later it already sprouted in a plant I live in a tropical island call Thursday island
I have my coconut in water for 5 days,and I see the sprout is coming out from it, than I put it in a zip lock bag with a little water in a dark warm place.I check it every 3 days,it was OK, and one day i find it all in mold and rotten.Can somebody help me? What was wrong?
Omg... Youngen! Awe!!
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...
LOL! They certainly didn't think that one through! Thanks for the tip, and laugh! :D
That is awesome. It would be worth having a bowling ball fall on my head...to have coconut trees
les faust
You said "bowling balls" and my mind said Fred Flintstone. LoL
In Marco island, they cut down the coconuts before they ripen, so they don’t fall on people.
Haha
Amazing. You have shown me something I have never seen before. I always wondered how all those coconut trees began, and you make it look so easy.
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.
if you want a curvy tree like in the tropics you can also place the dots down in the water when you plant it, then the seedling curves, making it grow that way! =)
Nice!
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 is a really nice/ interesting custom!
Cool.I'm sprouting mine in Tupelo Ms, so I will have to keep it nice and warm here.
That's awesome. I didn't know coconuts from the store would grow.
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?
i tried this. after 10 days mine was covered in mold. i am going to try again.
My last attempt also, going to sink it in soil this time and bought one with husk on it; thinking the soil will keep the mold off it, going to use a heating pad too under the bucket to kick start the humidity and heat required, as I live in Oregon and it’s New Years; Happy 2020, fellow friends of those with leaves ♥️
that's the spirit
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
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
@@paprikaahmedTruthAddict I just love reading comments from start 2020, we were so happy and carefree, if only we knew what was coming😂
Now I will try to germinate a coconut, hopefully nothing bad will happen 🤞
Can we get an update on this 10 year old coconut tree assuming it is still alive?
😊
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...
That is great! I have sprouted coconuts with the husk on. I must go to the store and pick up a coconut and try it your way. Very cool indeed. Awesome video! You may like my channel too because it is mostly dedicated to exotic gardening and plants. Cheers
what is the optimal, average temperature outdoors during the germination and growth of the coconut palm?
Loving the videos, couldn't resist checking the first one 😁
I believe... that this is how you develop a future Mark Watney 😍
Haha, was a tad younger in this one 😂
Thank you "Kiwigrower" for demonstrating and clearly
explaining the procedurse for growing a husked coconut.
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
Holy, you started this channel so young! Great job!
I wonder if just sand is okay in order to grow coconut, as occurs in Brazil coconut grows in pure sand all over coastal areas. What do you say about that, I am curious. Thanks for you enlightening videos.
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 ):
that's helpful thank you
You need decaying wood and soil and then you put the wood on the bottom the soil on top and mix with some normal soil off the ground and then you mix water salt and palm sugar together and feed it to the coconut 🥥
My tree is about 10 months old now. the root system seems good.The trunk snapped partly off the coconut itself. Do you thin my tree will die? Has anyone else had this issue? Please help!
I use miracle grow cactus, palm, and citrus soil for my palm trees. It will help them grow faster.
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!
This is (was) great! Thank you for posting. Exactly the information I needed.
Oh please I love coconuts they are the real medicine to the body, yo grow your own tree is amazing. What I fond disgusting is when people rather buy stiff that's only 40% natural
A 40% stiff can be alarming.
