Question
This is my second Coconut plant and they keep dying,In a month the leafs start to go brown and then die,it is in a sunny place.
What can i do to save the plant please help me  

Answer
Hi Lindsay,

Coconut palm is not an easy plant to keep healthy indoors. In general, they require lots of direct sunlight, fresh air, and high humidity. Those are hard conditions to meet indoors.

Water thoroughly when the top inch or two of soil feels dry. Let it get drier in the winter, but never completely dry. Minimum winter temperature is 55 degrees. Fertilize with any standard fertilizer, but only when it is putting out healthy new growth. Check regularly for spider mites on the undersides of the leaves and treat them promptly when you find them.

Please let me know if any of this is unclear or if you have any additional questions.
