A fast grower
Many palm species are known for their slow growth – but the Cycas panzhihuaensis is an exception. This palm grows relatively quickly and, with proper fertilisation, can produce three leaves a year. While that may not sound like much, for a palm, it is significant. On Chinese plantations, the trunk can grow up to 60 centimetres in five years. This makes it one of the faster-growing cycads.
Cycas panzhihuaensis and the Northern European climate
As a tropical plant, you might assume that the Cycas panzhihuaensis would struggle in Northern Europe. However, it adapts surprisingly well. Summers pose no issue thanks to its origins in warm, dry regions, and occasional rain is no problem either. It is during winter that the plant needs care. Although it is hardy to -3 °C, colder temperatures require protection. With proper winter care, you can enjoy your sago palm for years.
Large and small specimens
At MyPalmShop, you will find more than one type of Cycas panzhihuaensis. While the appearance is largely the same, the plants differ in size. You might choose a towering 200 cm tall palm, or a more compact 80–100 cm variety. Also, consider the pot size and diameter when selecting the right plant. These details will help you make the perfect choice for your garden or terrace.
Caring for the Cycas panzhihuaensis
This plant does not require much water and actually prefers the soil to dry out completely before watering again. In winter, it can easily go four to six weeks without water. Be careful with overwatering, as it can cause root rot – yellowing leaves are usually a sign of this. Ideally, the Cycas panzhihuaensis needs around four hours of sunlight a day, so make sure to place it near a window if kept indoors.
