Cycas revoluta – Sago Palm

From: £13.99 - £59.99

Cycas Revoluta is a member of the Cycad family – not a “true” palm. The Cycads have existed for nearly 280 million years, since the Cretaceous and Jurassic periods and are often called “living fossils”. They were believed to be the primary food of herbivorous dinosaurs hence another nick name “food of the dinosaurs”. However, the leaves, and especially the seeds, are toxic to modern day animals, including humans, if eaten.

Cycas Revoluta is among the easiest of plants to care for. When mature it is hardy to perhaps -4°C or lower and is extremely adaptable. Originating from the Japanese Ryukyu Islands it can grow to a maximum height of 10 ft with a frond spread of up to 6ft. Growth rate is fairly slow although when it puts on growth it can be faster than many people think. Leaves come in bursts up to 3 times a year with bright green foliage that you have to be careful not to crush against another plant or a wall, as once grown the leaf will remain bent

Plant in full sun or light shade in well drained soil when mature. Young specimens make excellent container plants and would make a spectacular addition to any patio or conservatory. If you have room, then plant it into the garden for a truly dramatic effect. For an easy answer to winter care, plant it in its pot, in the ground, in the summer and lift it inside before the severe frosts come.

Light: Outdoors Full sun to dappled shade.
Indoors: Bright light for at least some hours per day.
Soil: Any well drained.
Water: When almost dry.
Feed: Light feed in spring and late summer. (Yellow leaves indicate too much water and/or too much fertilizer)
Repotting: In spring (not too early, they like to be pot bound).

Cycas revoluta is a very effective and beautiful patio or conservatory plant, which should be quite happy to spend the summer in the garden. This new stock has  just been potted up and has amazingly well developed root sytems.  We may, therefore, send some plants  bare root in a bag with some compost to save on postage. Pot them up on receipt and they will THRIVE!
