Cycas (Sago palm)

To many people the apearance of the Cycas palm tree, also known as the Sago palm, will seem familiar. In the CIS countries, sago palm is very popular as a room plant. Cycas is a unique species of the Sago palm family. Under natural conditions, the plant is found in Japan, India, on such islands of the Pacific Ocean as Samoa and Fiji.

It is curious that the word "Cycas" in translation from ancient Greek means "palm", but despite the name and external similarity, the plant has nothing to do with the Palm family. Indoors, the Cycas looks like a tree with a height of 50 cm to a meter with a thick base like a shell. The surface of the trunk of Cycas consists of old, dried leaf plates.

Massive cycas leaves are pulled out from the base like ferns. They have a dark green colour and a bright, light green strip separating the segments of the leaf. The leaves of an adult plant are very heavy and fleshy, to the touch they are smooth and slightly prickly on the periphery. Cycas belongs to slow-growing plants and annually adds only a few centimetre in growth.

You can see how instances of the female plant form orange seeds at the top of the base. Nevertheless, in artificial conditions, Cycas can only bloom in the botanical garden, under the supervision of an experienced specialist.

Cycas is a very ancient plant, archaeologists found traces of its leaf plates in the excavations of the Mesozoic period. This indicates the vitality of the plant and its unpretentiousness, which is why it is so popular among flower growers.
