Water

To grow good coconut trees at your farm, water your Nariyal Bageecha in the morning around the base of the trunk until the top two inches of soil is adequately moist. You need to take special care of the young plants till they reach about 5-7 feet in height. In drier areas, water them more frequently.

Make sure that you are never letting the soil go dry completely. Remember, taking care of the watering is the key to thriving Nariyal Bagicha.
