Cycad revoluta – Sago Palm

Cycas revoluta is a slow-growing, evergreen cycad with stiff, glossy, dark green fronds arranged in a symmetrical rosette. Often mistaken for a palm, it forms a thick, textured trunk over time. Ideal for containers or well-drained garden beds, it prefers full sun to partial shade and minimal watering. Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, though sensitive to overwatering and frost.

Mature size: Up to 1.5-2.5m tall × 1-2m wide in cultivation.
