Once dinosaur food
these ancient palms rose to popularity as a houseplant in Victorian
times. Cycads are striking specimen plant with dark green needles borne
on long symmetrical fronds. Over time (A very long time!) a thick trunk
is formed with a wonderful texture and otherworldly flowers.
Site: A
well lit spot but avoid to much direct sun.
Temp: Average;
keep colder over the winter.
Water: Well
watered in the growing season but allow to dry in-between watering.
Less water over the winter months. Misting when out of sunlight will
keep the needles from browning at the tips.
Feeding:
A liquid feed every four to five weeks over the growing season.
Tip: Do
not use pesticide to remove any pests
