Huh, I never thought or knew that the whole Coconut was the actual seed! Learn something new every day! Thank you for the video. Hope you're doing well. 🌿
😁 Must say it's a first time experience for me, I have never seen a coconut planted to grow a tree! Nature is Awesome👃 May your garden be blessed with a beautiful coconut tree! 😇
Thank you, I'm actually attempting to grow a store bought coconut myself as of late so I have found your information helpful. I hope it grows, we'll see! 😁
Hi Jeff, had one of these coconut palms many years ago way back and did not have much luck, bought it from a garden centre already grown a reasonable size. I did how ever manage to grow palms from seed which was great, but they did take over a year to germinate. I lived in a very hot country so they just lived outside and got on with it! Thank you for doing this video, I look forward to the rest, I might get a beloved palm in my house that will look good. Take care and enjoy your garden.🌈🐾🇬🇧💕😁☀️☀️☀️
Hey Debra! You're not alone there, coconuts don't do well as houseplants for most people, they have very specific needs, especially once they get to be a few feet tall.
:) WOW!! Coconut!!! WOW! Why Thank you! Now I can't get the song "Ya put the lime in the coconut & shake it all up" outta my head! Hahahahaha! Have a great one Jeff! :)
Hi Jeff! This was fun to watch even though I'll probably never try it because of the heat and light you said they need. You sound like you're doing really well, which makes me, and I'm sure everyone, happy! Thank you so much for sharing!
I’ve wanted to taste a sprouted coconut for a very long time. This is a great and informative video. I think I will be able to get some good results - thanks!
Thank you so much for this, Jeff, it was all so interesting! You made me think of other things like this we could do, other tropical plants. I love your videos, they're so fun & informative. YOU make them fun & informative! I'm so happy you're doing better, I can hear it in your voice, as I'm sure everyone else does. You're surrounded by love & prayer.....everyone's. Much love to my lil brother (Yes! I claim you as my lil brother! lol).
Aww! Hey Dawn! Thank you! I'm feeling better everyday! There are a lot of fun things to do like this, can sprout avocados, grow pineapple tops, plant mangos and ginger, the grocery store is basically a plant nursery. ... least for us plant obsessed people😂🤣 hope you are doing well! 🤗
Hi Jeff never tried this but it does look like fun .I don't think I can do this and help it grow but thank you it was fun to watch keep on growing happy planting see you next time.Still in my prayers hope all is well and good you sound great please take care stay safe .
🥥🥥🦜🌴🌴 All hail the coconut! Makes a fine flavor of RUM too! Add it to your Coke and it's like being in Florida! You can drop an aquarium heater in the water bucket method. 🤙 Thanks Jeff
Aquarium heater! Great suggestion! I used a pond de-icer once when I was a teenager and melted my bucket. Learned then that it's best to use something with a controllable thermostat. Oops! 😂🤣
Maybe could you put it on a heat mat for seed starting?💚🙃 Kinda sounds like fun, maybe I’ll google a dwarf variety. Thanks Jeff, hope your healing well💚🙃
Hey Jeff. Great to hear about growing coconuts. I've never tried it but I suspect with my lack of winter light I'd end up finishing it off! Take care and hope the healing is continuing well. Cheers 👍
I'm in Hawaii, Big Island, and it's almost impossible to find coconut plants for sale. Coconut ttees all over, plenty of the dwarfs that I want, but I have no idea where people got them. I found one nursery with a 15-gallon Malayan Dwarf, for $350,00, but I don't want to spend that much money. I found 3 coconuts on the ground, from a mid-size tree, in Kailua-Kona, and started soaking them in water.
Amazing video, thanks for the cool tips!! Would love to grow my own cocomuts in my own London urban jungle 🌱 i would of course share my learnings on my plant youtube channel 😊💚
I need to try to sprout a fresh coconut with the hush sill on it one day. I have two coconut palms growing in a pot and their doing very well! 😁 I’ve tried to sprout three coconuts from the grocery store and sadly they didn’t sprout at all:(
Hi Jeff. This is off topic but I have a question. I took ginger root from the grocery and potted it in May now looking at it one of the pots has a few sprouts about 2 to 3"tall. I'm in zone 5A/6B and have no bright light inside so inside is not an option. What can I do to keep this alive?
Hello! The curcumas commonly sold in the grocery stores prefer a dorman period, so in the fall it should naturally die back on it's own. You can store them somewhere cool, dry and dark and in the spring replant them and they'll start growing again.
This was something I meant to mention in my comment but, of course, forgot. lol I'd LOVE to see the coconut bonsai - in fact, any kind of bonsai, but, especially coconut. I never knew you could do that & am looking forward to all of it, especially your take on it, Jeff! Thanks so much for reminding me of this, @Louise Colombi !
Check out UA-cam "Coconut bonsai." There are LOTS of videos mostly Asian. It doesn't matter that you don't speak the language, the videos are self-explanatory. I've done regular bonsai for years and have just started doing coconut bonsai. Wait til you see what's possible!!!

Thank you! Yes, nature is awesome!
Exciting! Can't wait for the houseplant version!
Thank you, I'm actually attempting to grow a store bought coconut myself as of late so I have found your information helpful. I hope it grows, we'll see! 😁
Hope it goes well for you! They are fun to germinate!

😂🤣 there were a lot of songs I wanted to use, but youtube and their copyright laws. Blah! Lol!

Thank you sandy! Yeah, they are kind of a pain to grow indoors. I am feeling much better, thank you!
I kept a coconut tree inside in the Netherlands for 7 years. My profile picture is a photo of it.
Wow
I’ve wanted to taste a sprouted coconut for a very long time. This is a great and informative video. I think I will be able to get some good results - thanks!
Wow I never thought about growing a coconut. Great information
Thank you!
I like the way you showed stages of coconut. Thank you so much for doing this video
Great video, I have one I started from the grocery store using the bag method, it took about 6 months to sprout.
Did you use a whole coconut or a husked one?
Tropical Plant Party husked
Thank you so much for this, Jeff, it was all so interesting! You made me think of other things like this we could do, other tropical plants. I love your videos, they're so fun & informative.

Really great info and I feel ready to go!Thanks!!
Super good, thorough video. Thanks!
fantastic - just what I needed to know.
Great demonstration!
TY for showing how to grow one without husking it
Maybe could you put it on a heat mat for seed starting?💚🙃 Kinda sounds like fun, maybe I’ll google a dwarf variety. Thanks Jeff, hope your healing well💚🙃
Always a great option! Thank you, Judy! So far I'm healing wonderfully!
"Your house burns down you can't blame me for that be careful" lol
Does the coconut have to have water inside in order for it to sprout?
Hey Jeff. Great to hear about growing coconuts. I've never tried it but I suspect with my lack of winter light I'd end up finishing it off! Take care and hope the healing is continuing well. Cheers 👍
Yeah, they do need plenty of light, that's ok, there are tons of other cute plants for shade. Thank you! Hope you're having a great week!

Make all the coconut videos!
my mission should I chose to accept it... find a coconut ..... I dont even have a coconut icon on my phone 😆😄🤣
😂🤣 yeah! Why isn't there a coconut emoji!?
What kind of soil I love in Florida
hey there mate. how long does take for the leaves to split? mine is over a year old and the leaves havent split yet but they have gotten huge
Okay where do you get your coconuts to start with if not at store?
There are a lot of website that sell whole coconuts, like produce sites and online nurseries. Ive even seen them on amazon.
Hi! My coconut sprouted a nub but I shook it and it has no water inside, did it just drink up all the water or is it dead?
Like I said before .. when I win the lotto and move to a tropical island. 🌴. Yes please. 😂
Yes please indeed!
Do you have to start with a coconut that is already brown but with water still in it or can you start with a coconut that is still green.
Coconuts are fine above freezing. They don't care that much if the temperature drops below 50. Zone 10a is above 30 degrees F.
If the coconut has been refrigerated, it won’t sprout?
Can you plant them into the ground ?
Wow!!!!
Nice
I want to know if you drain the water out of the coconut
Tedious!
Is it okay if a part of the root on my seedling is exposed to air
Where did you get the coconut?
Do you actually place them in the outside yard????
Didn't know coconuts could be bonsai
They can and they look amazing!
This was something I meant to mention in my comment but, of course, forgot. lol I'd LOVE to see the coconut bonsai - in fact, any kind of bonsai, but, especially coconut.

Take the coconut put it in the bush through some bust over it and in no time. Boom it grows right through the stuff.
Your coconut of your video, is dwarf or tall one???
I just brought one for $25 plus shipping $40, already sprout 🌱, I’m living in PA. 🤦🏾♀️, when winter ❄️ I’ll put it inside my house by the heat
What Type do feed the coconut palms 🤔
Will the coconut end up getting rotten and fall apart, or will it be there the lifetime of the tree??
I am from the Caribbean coconut is a lot to ask but it grow far from the tree dry and they grow Trinidad have a blessed day
Thank you! Hope you have a great weekend!
Never had one cause my family aren't fans of any palm trees.
