Cycas revoluta or the Sago Palm, a native of Japan, has been on Earth since the dinosaur era and Cycas revoluta looks quite different from any other plant. Has glossy herring-bone foliage which looks and feels as though it is made of plastic. Grows very slowly to form a short trunk. Tolerates light frost so probably best grown in a pot of John Innes Compost so it can be protected during prolonged periods of cold weather. Cycas revoluta likes to be kept moist but not waterlogged. It should be fed often in spring and summer and shaded from the hot sun. Not the easiest plant to grow, suitable for the more experienced gardener but if it fails to thrive in a pot we recommend risking planting it in a sheltered part of the garden where they often spring back into life in the second half of the year
Supplied height and spread approx. 45cm in 5 litre pots, a minimum of fifteen nice leaves. Hand picked plants with a good shape although a few leaves may have the odd brown spots, this is very common in this species as they keep their leaves for so many years, the overall effect is not spoilt by these minor blemishes.
