Description

💧 Watering

Water moderately — once a week during summer; allow soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Reduce watering in winter; avoid waterlogging, especially around the crown, to prevent rot.
Well-draining soil is essential.

☀️ Sunlight

Prefers full sun to partial shade.
In Malta, morning sun is ideal; protect from harsh afternoon sun in very hot areas.

Evergreen with stiff, feather-like, arching fronds forming a symmetrical crown.
Slow-growing; male and female cones appear rarely and mainly in mature plants.
Grown for ornamental foliage, not flowers.

Suitable for large pots or garden beds.

🌿 Fertilizer

Feed every 6–8 weeks in spring–summer with a low-nitrogen, palm/cycad fertilizer.
Minimal feeding in autumn–winter.

🚫🐕🐈 Pet Safety

Toxic to cats, dogs, and humans if ingested. Causes vomiting, liver failure, and neurological issues.
