How to care for a Cycas Revoluta
Watering the Cycas Revoluta
A Cycas Revoluta doesn't need much water. Water only when the top 3 centimeters of the potting soil feel dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so less is often better. In summer, watering once every two weeks is sufficient; in winter, you can reduce this to once a month.
Light for the Cycas Revoluta
This plant grows best in bright, indirect light. Avoid placing the Cycas in direct sunlight, as this can burn the leaves. A spot near an east- or west-facing window is ideal for healthy growth. Keep it away from cold drafts and heat sources to prevent brown edges.
Frequently occurring problems
Yellow leaves
Yellow leaves on a Cycas Revoluta often indicate overwatering or wet roots. Check the soil moisture and adjust your watering routine. Ensure the pot drains well and, if necessary, use hydroponic clays in the bottom of the pot.
Plant is dripping
A dripping plant can indicate sweat kidneys, a natural process in which excess water is released through the ears. This occurs primarily in high humidity and is perfectly acceptable. Place the plant a little further away from other plants, such as the Yucca, to prevent foggy leaves.
Pests and insects
Sometimes mealybugs or scale insects appear on Cycas revoluta. Check the leaf axils and stems regularly. Treat with an organic pesticide or wipe them away with a cotton swab soaked in alcohol.
Roots growing out of the pot
If the roots emerge from the bottom of the pot, the Cycas is ready for a larger pot. Repot every two to three years into a larger pot. Use well-aerated potting soil, such as a mix from our potting soil and accessories collection.
Brown edges on the leaves
Brown edges are often caused by air that is too dry or insufficient water. Increase the humidity by placing a bowl of water near the plant or use a plant mister. For extra care, you can also try our jungle mist spray .
