It really is a plant that can last a lifetime, as it can live beyond 100 years.
Eventually the palm can grow quite large, with a trunk up to 150 cm tall.
When the new leaves emerge from the core, it looks exactly like the way a fern unfurls. The new leaves are light green at first, then naturally change to their final dark green color.

Nutrition is very important for plants. We recommend that you provide this plant with a good nutrient medium by using high quality Mediterranean Fertilizer. We also recommend additional nutrients: Mediterranean food tablets, which you simply press into the soil next to the plant. This ensures the supply of all necessary nutrients. The plant will then also retain its dark green leaf color.
Cutting
Pruning a palm is simple. When a leaf starts to go dry the fairly thick branch should be cut off close to the trunk using a pair of secateurs. The palm grows new shoots every year that grow into large fan leaves.

How to sow the cycas revoluta?
.
Expect that at most 50% of the sown seeds will germinate.
1. The seed contains a woody protrusion. Remove this, as it inhibits germination.
2. File the seed, or make a shallow cut on one side of it. This allows water to enter
penetrate hard seeds.
3. The seed should be 2 weeks old at this point. Let it weigh for 3 days in lukewarm water.
4. Use coconut soil or Perlite, or a mixture. Sow each seed separately in a deep pot, as the Cycas
germinates in depth with a taproot. Place the seed on the sowing soil and cover with a thin layer of soil.
5. Make sure to keep the seeds moist and mist regularly and on time. Keep a temperature
between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, they will not germinate.
6. From here on, it's waiting. Germination normally takes 4 months to begin, but it can take up to 15 months.
So do not conclude too quickly that a seed will not germinate.
The fresher the seed, the faster the germination.
Our plant sizes are determined by measuring the smallest plants up until the largest in a field with hundreds of plants. Because a plant is a natural product, it's possible a plant is a little smaller than the mentioned minimum size.
This deviation is 10cm maximum. In our guidelines we keep a margin of max. 10cm regarding the minimum size.
Note: when you order a plant that doesn't stay green in the winter, it's probably (when ordered during the winter months or the beginning spring season) smaller than the minimum size. This is not a problem in any case, because the plant will grow new branches or leaves and the minimum height will be reached within a short period. Your order will have the right size within a short time.
