Premium tropical cycad, 15-20 cm healthy plant specimen
Cycas siamensis, commonly known as the Thai Sago Palm, is a rare and exotic tropical cycad native to Thailand and Southeast Asia. This premium specimen represents one of the most desirable cycads for collectors and enthusiasts worldwide. Each plant offered is a healthy, carefully cultivated 15-20 cm specimen, ready for immediate display or further establishment.
Cycas siamensis is distinguished by its graceful, feathery green fronds that emerge from a compact, symmetrical crown. The plant develops a sturdy trunk over time and displays remarkable architectural beauty in any tropical or subtropical garden setting. Its slow growth rate and extreme longevity make it a true heirloom plant that can be enjoyed for decades.
Our premium 15-20 cm specimens are propagated from superior parent stock and grown using specialized cultivation techniques to ensure vigorous, healthy plants with exceptional ornamental appeal. Each plant arrives well-established and ready to thrive in appropriate growing conditions.
Ideal Setting: Bright, indirect light with 4-6 hours of dappled sunlight daily. Position in a sheltered location protected from harsh afternoon sun in hot climates. Morning sun is beneficial for foliage coloration.
Soil Type: Use premium, well-draining cycad mix with excellent aeration. Combine 40% coarse sand, 30% perlite, 20% premium potting soil, and 10% orchid bark. Cycas requires extremely fast drainage to prevent root rot — this cannot be compromised.
Container Selection: Use pots with multiple drainage holes. For the 15-20 cm specimen, a 20-25 cm pot is ideal. Create a drainage layer with terracotta shards or perlite before filling with soil mix.
Placement: Position plant so the crown is at soil level—never bury the trunk crown. Firm the soil gently around the base without compacting.
Watering: Water thoroughly after planting, then allow soil to dry significantly between waterings. Cycas prefers drier conditions—overwatering is the primary cause of failure.
Acclimatization: Place in moderate light for 1-2 weeks, then gradually transition to permanent location. Avoid sudden temperature or light changes.
Optimal Conditions: Bright, indirect light year-round. Thai Sago thrives with 4-6 hours of dappled sunlight but adapts to moderate indoor light. Insufficient light causes weak, pale growth.
Established Plants: Water deeply but infrequently. Allow top 3-5 cm of soil to dry between waterings. During growing season (spring-summer), water every 10-14 days. In winter, reduce to every 3-4 weeks.
Critical Warning: Never allow the plant to sit in water or in soggy soil. Consistently waterlogged conditions cause fatal root rot within days.
Feeding Schedule: Apply slow-release palm/cycad fertilizer in spring and early summer. Follow package directions carefully—cycas prefers lighter feeding than most plants. Avoid high-nitrogen formulations.
Micronutrients: Supplement with trace elements (iron, magnesium, manganese) twice yearly for vibrant foliage and sustained health.
Optimal Range: 22-28°C (72-82°F). Thai Sago tolerates brief drops to 15°C (59°F) but prefers consistently warm conditions. Frost will cause severe damage or death.
Humidity: Moderate humidity (40-60%) is ideal. Mist foliage occasionally or place on humidity trays to maintain moisture levels without waterlogging roots.
Minimal Intervention: Remove only completely dead fronds at the base. Do NOT remove green fronds—they supply essential nutrients for growth and root development. Cycas is self-cleaning with minimal pruning needs.
Resistance: Cycas is generally resistant to pests when grown in proper conditions. Monitor for scale insects or spider mites in stressed plants.
Prevention: Proper drainage, appropriate watering, and good air circulation prevent most problems. Root rot from overwatering is the primary concern—maintain strict drainage protocols.
Best Practice: Cycas grows best in containers with excellent drainage. Repot every 2-3 years in spring using fresh, specialized cycad potting mix. Choose containers only slightly larger than the current pot.
Growth Rate: Slow-growing species. Patience is required—plants typically add one new frond annually. This slow growth contributes to their remarkable longevity.
