1. Seed acquisition

Pocket coconut is a kind of flowering foliage plant, which usually blossoms from April to May. It can bear fruit by artificial pollination. After about half a year, the fruit can be ripe and then picked for sowing.

Because pocket coconut likes fertile, loose, moist and well drained loam, it is suggested that the seedbed should be prepared with rotten leaf soil + mountain soil + humus soil + sand soil according to the ratio of 3 / 3 / 2 / 2 / 3.

4. Seed treatment

Before sowing, we need to carry on the necessary treatment to the picked seeds, first soak the seeds in warm water of 35-40 ℃ for about 36 hours, and wait for the seeds to absorb enough water to expand and shine before they can be used for sowing.
