CYCADS

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.

CYCAS REVOLUTA  (SAGO PLANT - JAPANESE CYCAS)

Its home is Ryukyu island of Japan.  It is resistant to slight to moderate frost. Whether it is male or female can only be understood after producing cones. Both male and female after reaching certain maturity, provide seedlings from the soil or stem.

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.
