Able to be grown both outdoors (mild climate) and indoors, the Cycas needs bright light, but can also be placed in full sun.
How do I care for my cycad?
It is possible to clean the cycad and prune the yellow leaves.
How do I water my cycad?
You must let the soil dry between each watering, this corresponds to approximately one watering per week in summer, and two per month in winter. However, it should not be placed in a place where the air would be too dry.
When should I repot my cycad?
It grows slowly, so you don't have to repot it every year. It is cut by neatly cutting the suckers (new small plant) attached to the base of the plant and replanting them.
How do I take cuttings for my cycad?
When repotting you can divide the plant if you wish at the rhizomes, or separate the shoots from the mother plant to divide it.
