The coconut palm on the balcony
Although the coconut tree is not necessarily a permanent plant for a balcony, but in the warm summer, she feels quite comfortable there. So you have an attractive exceptional eye-catcher and a balcony with tropical flair.
How does the coconut palm on the balcony feel most comfortable?
For coconut palms, of course, no balconies in north facing, because these plants need plenty of sun. South or southwest location, however, is well suited. In the first year, young plants should be protected from too much direct sunlight and only put into direct sunlight for the second year.
In so-called tropical nights, when temperatures do not drop below 20 ° C, the coconut tree can naturally stay outside. However, if it is cooler than about 16 to 18 ° C, then bring your palm better in the house.
You should note this:
Do not forget the casting
Much watering is also important for a coconut palm on the balcony, as well as the regular spraying with lukewarm water. Use lime-free water to prevent your coconut palm from getting unsightly lime spots on the leaves.
The coconut trees overwinter
In winter, you should never leave your coconut palm on the balcony. It is absolutely not frost resistant. Even at temperatures below 16 ° C it stops its growth. Ideal would be a winter garden or a heated greenhouse for the wintering of your coconut palm.
Somewhat lower temperatures than in the summer months, less water and no fertilization tolerates them quite well during this time. But it needs just as much light as in summer, about 12 hours. The ideal lighting can be achieved with a daylight lamp.
Tips & Tricks
