Cycads , which have been grouped
with the Palms in the past, are now known to be a
different group. They are called as “living fossil
plants” as they have not changed during the last
200-300 million years. |
In Turkey only Japanese cycads are known under this
name. In our Center there are 12 species of
Cycads, 6 of which are sold. Cycas grow slowly and
live long. It has male and female plants, and is
one of two plants, which have moving sperms as in
the animals.

CARE OF CYCADS AT POT AT TEMPERATE OR COLD CLIMATE
-
Water when dry, do not overwater
-
Keep in a place with ample light, even
with direct sunlight during certain period of the day
-
From spring to fall, every 4-6 weeks give
nitrogen rich, mix fertiliser (with trace elements) or
long active tablets
-
Your indoor cycas usually produces new
leaves once per annum, but it is possible to get them
produce more than one flushes per annum by good feeding.
Make sure that these new leaves do no touch or get
restricted by objects, otherwise they will be bent and
remain bent
-
Cycas can live hundreds of years, under
non-favourable conditions they may not produce new
leaves for 1-2 years.
