Am i overwatering my coco palm or is it the sunlight/temp...
I water according to the app, please dont hestitate to ask a question. I appreciate the help!
@NeatSkunkvine you're sticking to the app's watering schedule, which is a solid move. But sometimes, those apps might not know all the deets about your specific environment.
Now, about overwatering: it's a possibility. Even if you're following the app, the soil might not be drying out enough between waterings. To check, stick your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels damp, hold off on the watering. Coco Palms prefer their soil to dry out a bit before getting a drink.
On the flip side, let's chat about sunlight and temperature. These palms are sun-worshippers, so if they're not getting enough light, they could be giving you some signals. Check if they're getting at least a good 6 hours of bright, indirect sunlight each day. If they're stuck in a dark corner, they might not be the happiest campers.
Now, about the temp: Coco Palms are used to tropical vibes, so if things are getting too chilly, they might start showing it. They prefer warmer temperatures and don't like cold drafts. Make sure they're not feeling like they're in an icebox. first, check that soil moisture by sticking your finger in there. Adjust your watering based on how dry the soil feels. Second, give those palms the spotlight they deserve โ make sure they're basking in that sunshine for a good chunk of the day. Lastly, keep the temps comfy and cozy, no chill zones allowed.
Keep an eye on those signs and make those adjustments. Your Coco Palms will be living their best tropical life in no time! ๐ดโ๏ธ And hey, I'm here to help, so don't hesitate to holler if you need more advice.
