This is a live coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) in a decorative woven basket, perfect for patio or indoor tropical decor. The plant comes in a 10-inch container and is part of Costco's seasonal patio plant collection.

Coconut palms are tropical species native to the western Pacific islands and thrive in humid, frost-free environments. These palms feature graceful, downward-arching green fronds emerging from a coconut seed mounted in a natural basket. While suitable as houseplants in temperate climates, they grow best outdoors in USDA Zones 10-12 where temperatures stay above 64°F.

Best growth occurs in moderately fertile, well-drained soils with full sun exposure. The palm requires moderate watering and sandy soil for optimal health. When mature, coconut palms develop single trunks with light gray bark and can eventually reach 50-100 feet tall in tropical climates, though container-grown specimens remain much smaller.

This decorative plant adds tropical ambiance to patios, sunrooms, or coastal-inspired spaces. In cooler climates, it makes an excellent indoor specimen but should be kept in bright light and protected from freezing temperatures.
