The cultivation substrate of pocket coconut is well drained, moist and fertile loam. Generally, rotten leaf soil, peat soil, river sand and a small amount of base fertilizer can be used as the substrate for pot cultivation. It does not have high requirements for fertilizer. In general, liquid fertilizer is applied twice a month in the growing season, with little or no fertilization at the end of autumn and winter. Son

2. Watering: watering is based on the principle that it is better to be wet than dry, and the basin soil can always be kept moist.

3. Sunshine: pocket coconuts prefer semi-overcast conditions and avoid direct sunlight in high temperature season. In the hot sun, the leaf color will become light or yellow, and will produce scorched leaves and black spots, losing ornamental value.

4. Temperature: the suitable temperature for the growth of pocket coconut is 20-30 ℃, 13 ℃ enters dormancy state, and the overwintering temperature is 10 ℃.

5. Fertilization: the requirement of fertilizer is not high, liquid fertilizer is applied 1-2 times a month in general growing season, little or no fertilizer is applied in late autumn and winter.

6. Insect pests: pocket coconuts are prone to social brown spot disease under high temperature and high humidity, which can be controlled with 8-1000 times topiramate or chlorothalonil. Scale insects are also easy to occur when the air is dry and poorly ventilated. In addition to manual scraping, it can also be sprayed with 800-1000 times omethoate.

Matters needing attention in pocket coconut culture
