I bought a round coconut grown in Mexico at my local market. Tons of coconut milk sloshing around inside and I believe the husk is still on because it's not smooth -- it's very rough and has a bit of "husky" stuff on it. I read how to grow a store bought one without the husk from somebody who had success. It told exactly how the plant them, how deep to and what position to plant them in. There are the three little eyes on the end of the coconut... They make a triangle. The eye across from the short side of the triangle (the biggest eye) is planted up. The coconut is planted on its side though. If that makes sense.
I read on another website to soak it in a pail of water for a few days, but the guide that had success with growing them without the husk didn't do so. Just stuck them in soil and thoroughly watered. That's what I did in about 1/2 soil 1/2 sand, a bit less sand than soil though. I'll keep it very moist. I read that keeping the humidity high is key, is this true? How should I do this? Tie a bag around the top of the pot?
Any tips? Thanks!
