Cycads are fleshy roots that prefer warmth and grow slowly. When planting pots, humus-rich sandy loam soil should be used, the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot should be large, and organic fertilizers should be applied frequently, with the best hydraulic power of cake fertilizer, and once a week can make the leaves shiny and emerald green. Water more in summer to keep the soil moist, and spray foliage in the morning and evening. If the water quality contains alkali, it should be watered with 500 times of ferrous sulfate once every half a month. After the temperature drops in autumn, it is not advisable to water more, and the potting soil is better to keep it drier. Winter moved into a low-temperature greenhouse or indoors for wintering, and moved outdoors in April of the following year.
Cycads are most susceptible to the harm of insect shell insects, often accompanied by coal pollution disease, should be strengthened ventilation and light transmission. In high temperature and rain, if the cycad leaves appear yellow-brown spots - spot disease, can be sprayed with 50% Tolbuzin powder 800 times liquid or 50% carbendazim powder 800 times liquid control. Some potted cycad leaves are yellow and white, new leaves can not be extracted for a long time or even young buds retracted, mostly caused by rotten roots, and the cause of rotten roots is often due to excessive fertilization, too much watering and too compact soil, should be turned over in time to dry roots, cut off rotten roots, and then use 15% of the bacterium powder agent 500 times liquid soaked roots, planted with new culture soil, can make it live again.
