The coconut palm thrives on sandy soils and is highly tolerant of salinity and prefers areas with abundant sunlight and regular rainfall (750 to 2,000 mm annually), which makes colonising shorelines of the tropics relatively straightforward. Coconuts also need high humidity (70–80%+) for optimum growth, which is why they are rarely seen in areas with low humidity (e.g. the [[Mediterranean]]), even where temperatures are high enough. They are very hard to establish and grow in dry climates.

==Cultural aspects==
Coconuts are extensively used in [[Hindu]] religious rites. Coconuts are usually offered to the gods, and a coconut is smashed on the ground or on some object as part of an initiation or inauguration of building projects, facility, ship, etc.; this act signifies sacrificing ego, that wealth stems from divinity, and if due credit is not given, bad karma is taken on.
 
The [[Indonesia]]n tale of [[Hainuwele]] tells the story of the introduction of coconuts to [[Seram]].
