Cycas revoluta Revoluta XL

Cycas Revoluta

The cycas also called palm ferns grows very well in our climate, despite the fact that the cycas is a slow grower. The maximum height that the Cycas can reach is 3 meters. However, this takes a very long time, up to 100 years and so the palm will probably survive. The cycas can be on the terrace from mid-May to October. In winter, the cycas will have to be in a frost-free place despite its winter hardiness. However, the cycas may also be in the home or the office in the winter, as a precaution.

You should do the wintering of large plants in an unheated garage or under a shelter. Possibly you can wrap the pot with insulation material.

Care

Cycas revoluta is easy to maintain, full sun! no problem. The plant does like well draining soil and give it enough water. Give a monthly diet, preferably cow manure pellets.
