1、 Morphological characteristics

1. Rich coconut:

From the appearance, its stem is smooth and slender, its leaves are dark green, lush and shiny, and its shape is elegant. There will be round green fruits in autumn and winter, which are red brown when ripe, and bear fruit from October to December

2. Hawaiian coconut:

The stem has a node stem similar to bamboo, and the leaves are dark green, which is easier to blossom and seed. The fruit is round and orange red

The most important appearance feature to distinguish the two is to look at the leaves, which are relatively scattered. The rich coconut has leaves at the upper and lower parts and is relatively lush. The stem has bamboo knots and there are no leaves at the lower part, or it is extremely rare. The Hawaiian coconut has clear and sparse leaves on the upper part, which is the most intuitive way to distinguish

2、 Growth habit

1. Rich coconut:

It is suitable for warm, humid and semi cloudy environment, especially in the seedling stage. It has high requirements for shading and cannot accept the direct irradiation of the sun. Although I don't like light, I have to accept scattered sunlight in winter

2. Hawaiian coconut:

Like half shade, high temperature and humidity, better above 20 ℃ and grow fast. There will be no problem if it is placed indoors for one to two months. It will sleep under 13 ℃. Although you like moisture, you can't water too much, otherwise the root is easy to get sick. You can keep it moist at ordinary times

Their habits are similar, and their favorite growth environment is basically the same. They can't be exposed to sunlight (there should be scattered light in spring and winter). However, Hawaiian coconut is not resistant to cold, while rich coconut can withstand zero temperature

3、 Application value

1. Rich coconut:

It has good cold resistance, negative resistance and strong environmental adaptability, so it is widely developed and used in landscaping and is welcomed by everyone

2. Hawaiian coconut:

The stem is segmented, the oil content on the leaf surface is high, and the overall style is clear and elegant. It is suitable for decorating offices and study, and the indoor greening effect is good
