If it has been outside most of the time already, full sun is ok. If it has been shaded or partially shaded, you'll need to gradually acclimate it to full sun. It's very hard to over-water them in the summer. During the winter you'll want to back off on the watering a little so the roots don't rot. In your climate, pretty trouble free to be honest.

I have found them very easy to grow though difficult to transplant.Most everything the palm needs is provided by that incredible seed except for sunlight and warmth they need a LOT of that I had the best luck transplantinfg them to the ground when they started to disconnect from the seed which can take years

Mostly just leave it alone if you have a healthy seedling it will develop very rapidly . good luck gary

Thanks! It was floating in full sun lol. I'll keep it in a sunny spot. Wow Gary, years? I just planted 2 Malayan greens. I bought them from a nursery about 5 ft tall and they are doing well. I'm glad I'm not depending on this one. We'll see how it goes!

Hi

I can't ever pass a palm of ANY kind without collecting seeds and I've found

tremendous variation on germination, growth rates even within the same species Coconuts prime example. Most frustrating were silver Joey palms took 27 months to germinate! held two fronds for almost two years after that

15 years later was still under 5 feet!! Described as "slow" in the literature they don't mention the timescale is similar to the unfolding of the universe lol

Now that you're experimenting with coconuts you'll soon be ready for the grand daddy of all seeds the Coco de mer?? One seed can weigh 30 pounds

I have seen them offered for sale but imagine shipping?? lol Anyway good luck gary

Lol, I would ask my dad, but he never ment for his coconuts to grow. When I was a kid we use to collect coconuts on the ground bc I was kid and thought it was fun, my dad would indulge me. A couple rooted and turned into tree when we weren't looking. One stands next to a pine tree, almost like conjoined twins. The other right up against the house and had to grow horizontal to find the light and then vertical. I have a couple coconuts laying around in back yard (part of props for a party) they have not done anything. I am not sure I want them to, but I kinda want to see if they will.

Good luck.

My dad's was just laying on the ground, not put in the ground, they just did their thing when no one was looking.

You can eat the embryo. It tastes real good but then you lose the tree. I set the coconuts just for the embryo!
