Ikea, huh?

Now THERE's  a noteworth palm nursery . . . :)  (I picture them being off-loaded in Manhattan from a dragon-prowed longship.  Sorrry, been a long day!)

Seriously, though, I hope it grows for you long enough to make it to when you move to the deep south . . . .

Hi Bobby,

I'm surprised that you can let hem grow at your place. The sell here a lot of cocos palms, little one for the living room inside the house. But most of the time, the live here only 1 year, outside and inside.

Robbin,

I have a greenhouse.... Cocos is definitely not an indoor plant unless you have Metal Halide or HPS light. They need ALOT of sun and warmth.

Hi Bobby,

I have also al greenhouse where i put some plants in containers in winter time ... But the greenhouse is in winter time between the 5 and 10 C (40-50 F) in the nights ... Because i use a heater.

How warm do you keep your greenhouse ? because if i place the coconut into the greenhouse they also die ..
