This is vital to maximise the chance it will reach its mature size of Up to 100 ft. tall.. Also, a final factor in ensuring that Coconut Palm reaches this height and the full mature size that it can is to ensure the exposure from the sun is correct. Aim for it to get full sun exposure.
If your Coconut Palm is repotted, will it bloom?

You can expect nan blooms in the nan time and enjoy seeing your Coconut Palm grow up before these months to around Up to 100 ft. tall.. If you don’t like the look of the type of plant you’re growing, perhaps try growing a Cholla Cactus instead.
