how to grow coconut palm?

ok so I bought a coconut palm about three years ago that was already a year old maybe 2 feet high. They told me to plant the coconut a bit out of the soil so thats what we did. Now it's still alive but basically it grows to the same height never getting taller. The new leaves grow up through the middle of the old leaves/stalk and the old leaves just die off as the new ones take their place if that makes sense. i dont understand how its not getting taller. should we bury the coconut completely?. i live in south fl where everyone has coconut palms so i am so confused as to why it wont grow. The nursery told me it would grow a foot or two a year and it hasn't technically grown an inch! Please help :)
