Cycas palm

Cycas is a real eye catcher for a garden or interior. It is remarkable, versatile and topical. It can even withstand some frost. It is easy to maintain as it can handle humid and dry spots alike. Most Cycas palms originate in southeast Asia. Nowadays they can be found all over the world due to their ornamental leaves and rough trunk. They are common sights at luxurious hotels or city squares. They have various common names, though sago palm is the most common one.

A remarkable, fast growing interior palm

With a sago palm tree you bring a piece of history to your home. Sago palms were a dominant species of plants during the Jurassic period. This makes it all the more interesting that the sago palm is still successful today. As they originate in warmer areas in the world, they are most commonly kept as indoor palm trees in northern Europe. Nonetheless, it can withstand a few degrees of frost.

Maintaining a Cycas

Cycas palm trees are slow growers, so they require little watering. In fact, the roots are quite sensitive to too much water. If kept inside, ensure that the soil dries up before you provide new water. You can give additional water during summer. You can spray the leaves to increase the already high ornamental value. They are best kept in a sunny location – the plant can handle direct sunlight for a few ours. Do not place sago palms too far away from a sunny spot, as the palm will grow less well there.
