Nursery of Old Coconuts to Grow Shoots and Roots

Hello friends of Steemit Garden, in this post I want to share about coconut trees.

Cultivating coconut trees is very easy, especially in my area which has light intensity and fertile soil. Because they live in coastal areas, coconut trees can grow easily, they don't even need special methods or treatments. Old coconuts that are left alone beside the well can also grow shoots. Even though there is no specific method for growing shoots, coconuts are only placed on the ground with humid environmental conditions.

Usually, to grow coconut shoots as new coconut seedlings, old coconuts are used. This old coconut with brown and dry skin is placed in a damp place, such as in a well water stream or it can be simply placed on the ground. Even old coconuts, which fall from the tree can grow shoots by themselves under the tree. Shoots from dried coconuts are new seeds to be planted and will grow into coconut trees.

The roots appear to be sticking out and sticking to the ground, but the shoots don't give off much roots. To plant this coconut tree seed, it is necessary to dig a hole first, the hole can be as deep as 30 cm or only the size of a coconut seed, as long as the fruit has entered the hole and is covered with soil. In the process of care, coconut aunt does not require special care. In an area like the one where I live, coconut trees can grow easily after being planted at an early age.

The coconut tree is also known as the tree of a thousand benefits as well. Trees that live in the lowlands have countless benefits. Almost all parts of the coconut tree can be used even I have read that the roots of the coconut tree can be used to make toothbrushes. Not only that, coconut trees can also be used to support construction materials.

The one in my house is a type of green coconut, which means this coconut is green. How to mark it is very easy, by looking at the color of the leaves. Meanwhile, if the hybrid coconut, generally yellow leaves. This coconut tree can grow tall until the age of decades, the tree can be used for various purposes, including as raw material for house construction. Almost on every corner behind my house there is a coconut tree, even next to my neighbour's house there is also a tall one that has reached tens of meters.

The coconut water that I have behind the house has a different taste, maybe it affects the location of growth as well and the intensity of the soil and watering. Some have a sweet taste, which also have a slightly bitter and sour taste. The size of the fruit is not too big, almost the size of a hybrid coconut, but the difference is that this coconut grows tall. We can consume water and coconut flesh directly from under the tree.

If we have art, coconut tree roots can be processed into works of art that have economic value. The parts of a coconut tree can be of high value if we can process them, for example on the tree trunk which can be used as one of the materials to make buildings. Not only that, the fruit of the coconut tree is certainly more useful, especially for everyday life. From coconut meat we can get coconut milk for our needs in the kitchen.

Young coconut also has good benefits for our bodies, coconut water is able to become ions in the body and maintain body resistance. Coconut with young flesh and soft texture can also be the first step remedy for fever. Not only have benefits for everyday life, health even coconut trees also have benefits for beauty. Coconut roots, coconut stalks, fruit, shells, leaves and even ribs from coconut trees are all useful and have economic value.

In our area of ​​Aceh-Indonesia, although there are so many coconut trees, the selling price of coconuts is included in the high category. In fact, it is not uncommon now to hear complaints from mothers about the high cost of coconut milk in kilos. The high price of coconut milk is influenced by the high price of coconuts. Plants that produce fruit with a million benefits are a favorite for most people. Because as I explained above that this tree has so many benefits for everyday life, health and even beauty.

Thus my brief review of coconut trees, hopefully it can share education and be useful for all of us. I am very grateful to users who have supported upvotes and commented on my posts. Always give suggestions and criticisms for my progress on Steemit, thank you very much.
