How to Grow and Care for Common coconut palm

Common coconut palm, also known as Coconut palm, Coconut tree, Coco palm, Coco, Copra palm

Common coconut palm requires high light and consistent warm temperatures, thriving in environments that mimic its native tropical climate. Special care points include ensuring proper drainage to prevent root rot, as this species is susceptible to excessive moisture around its roots. Additionally, common coconut palm demands plenty of space to accommodate its substantial size, making it more challenging for the average home gardener to maintain indoors or in non-tropical outdoor environments.
