Coconuts in pots

Recommended Posts

I have a few coconuts in pot and they seem to be thriving. Wondering how long I can keep them in there? I want to put them in the ground someday when I have a house.

Attaching a photo! Any advice would be appreciated.

They can get large in pots. It all just depends on how large of a pot you want to put it in.   There are 3 coconut palms in half whiskey barrel type pots in front of a restaurant in downtown Saint Petersburg  Here is what they look like.  Not sure on what variety they are but maybe someone else can answer that part.

Hi!

If you use the searchfunction there's a whole forest of information about potgrown coconuts. I have dedicated a topic on the subject as well:

 

 

But there are many many more people shating their exeriences. In my experience it's perfectly possible to grow a healthy young coconut in a pot for many years. Outside of the tropics they do need more attention and care than regular houseplants though.

There is a fellow over in Asia who creates literal coconut bonsai in small pots. You live in Miami where coconuts should lie around thick as fleas on a dog. Unless you have a specific rare cultivar in mind you will have plenty of candidates for your yard when you buy your house. Currently, I have at least a dozen floating in my canal that will go to yard waste when they wash ashore. I already have enough rescue coconuts.

I walk past this Coconut at least once or twice a week :P

Looking for:  crytostachys hybrids, Pseudophoenix sargentii Leucothrinax morrisii, livingstona canarensis
