are you shore that you have the name right Jed because the cocus nucifera is the coconut palm, you must send us a photo of you shining up it to gather the coco nuts,I have lived in Clwyd most of my life and the only sand I have seen runs along the North Wales coast Ho I tell a lie' there is a sand pit in a juner school in Denby but the only nut there was me,

one of my mates has this plant in her conservatory and she waters it every other day. she uses the plant fertilizer sticks. It looks reasonably happy but someone else may be better able to help.
