Something growing in my coco

[mmmdankbuds420]

I had a compressed brick of coco that I expanded. I let it sit in a 15 gallon tub for like a week and a half or 2. I would stir it up every now and then to keep moisture distributed. It was my first time using coco and after some research I decided to just stick to soil until I get a little more experience. So there it sat in the laundry room. The other day I went to do laundry and noticed a plant growing out of it.

Has this ever happened to anybody? And more importantly do you know what plant it is? It was GH coco coir if that matters. I have since planted the little guy in a 4" pot and set him on the window seal. I'll post a pic in a week or so when its more developed. Not the medicine I want but it'd be cool to have a coconut tree. Lol.

Definitely not a coconut tree. Coconuts trees grow from, funnily enough, coconut. I think you'd notice if there was a whole coconut hiding in that expanded coco.

Not surprising that something germinated. As Confuten said, most likely a weed seed. If you see how and where coco is processed, you'd understand how it has gotten there. Coconut husks are churned into coco, outside, to form big hills of the stuff, before it's collected and processed into bricks. But seeing as when it's being ground up, it's churned straight onto the ground outdoors, it's inevitable that a few weed seeds would make there way into that hill of coco.

Grow it out and show us what it turns out to be!

Thanks for the info! I'm glad I got some sort of picture in mind and better understanding of how coco is to come. Sadly enough, the little bugger passed on :( lol

Ah, that's a pity, I was looking forward to seeing what it could be!

 

[mmmdankbuds420]

Me too. I was hoping, if anything, to at least have a cool new house plant from south america or something. Lol

Ha, that's pretty cool. I wouldn't mind me getting a freebie in my coco like that!

Guess you're just going to have to grow more plants in coco. Oh dear, the things we have to do!
