Coconut tree (English: Cocos nucifera? L) It is a large plant of the genus Coconut in Palmae. Coconut is the fruit of coconut tree, which is very common in tropical areas. The popularity of coconut trees is also related to the fact that its fruit coconut can drift thousands of kilometers in the sea with the wind and waves and reproduce far away from the mother tree.

The leaves are pinnately divided, 4 ~ 6 meters long, multi-lobed, leathery, linear-lanceolate, 65 ~ 100 cm long, 3 ~ 4 cm wide, and the apex is gradually pointed; Petiole stout, more than 65438 0 meters long.

Matters needing attention in coconut tree breeding:
1, mixing soil
Coconut trees can't live in all kinds of soil. The soil where they take root needs to have a loose and porous structure, good air permeability and drainage ability, and a certain basic fertility, and the soil is slightly acidic. Pine needles can be used to improve its PH value.
Step 2 control the temperature
Coconut tree is a typical tropical plant, which is suitable for growth and development in a warmer environment. If you stay in a low temperature environment for a long time, or where the temperature rises and falls frequently, plants will even die, so it is necessary to stabilize the environmental temperature at 20-30 degrees Celsius.
Step 3 water and fertilize
When watering coconut trees, we should adhere to the principle of wet but not dry, and water them thoroughly to keep the soil slightly wet for a long time. In the hot and dry environment in summer, it is necessary to replenish water in time, apply fertilizer according to the principle of thin fertilizer and diligent application, and add a small amount of fertilizer many times, instead of raw fertilizer and thick fertilizer.
Step 4 adjust the lighting
Coconut tree is a kind of plant widely distributed in tropical areas, but it does not need too much light or enough light, and is more suitable for growth and development in semi-shady environment. In the summer when the light intensity is too strong, it needs proper shading treatment to let it receive some scattered light.
