New Coconut Palm!

Post by palmtreecod » Thu Apr 12, 2012 5:51 pm

I found this little gem in Destin Florida. I'm here for spring break, and I thought I'd take a look inside Home Depot. Sure enough, I saw this little cocos! He should be a great addition, any home coconut palm tips would be greatly appreciated as I have heard they aren't the easiest to grow inside. Thank you, and enjoy!

There are some on e-bay for $14 or so,then there is the shipping......



One little trick you can try is to spray your Coco with Wilt-pruf before it comes inside.


This should protect it from dry indoor winter air.

Thanks for the recommendation, Jim. I was wondering about what I would do, we have generally dry air inside.
