Cycas Revoluta (Small)

It is a tropical and sub-tropical showy evergreen that is related to conifers but looks more like a palm. The Sago Palm is very slow-growing and may take up to 50 or more years to reach 10 feet tall. It is frequently cultivated as a houseplant. The leaves grow from the trunk. They are shiny, palm-like, and have spiny tips and the margins of the leaves roll downward.

Light
Cycas revoluta prefers bright, indirect light but will tolerate shade. Direct early morning or late afternoon sunlight should not harm the plant, providing it is not too harsh.

Watering
Allow the top of your Sago Palm's soil to dry out before watering. Water the base of the plant rather than the crown to prevent rotting. Do not overwater.

Temperature
Cycas revoluta does well in average household temperatures (16-24°C), but should not be allowed to go lower than 13°C. Avoid cold draughts.

Feed
Liquid fertiliser occasionally during the growing season. Do not over-feed: this slow growing plant does not require a lot of extra food.

Height approx 50cm
