The first six pictures here show an example of a really nice 15 gallon mature plant with male cones. It is a clustered specimen with three main coning caudexes. This species is very small with leaves rarely to four feet long and a caudex size under six inches. The hallmark of this species is the grouping of the leaflets – like little bow ties put onto the leaf stem. Leaf color is always green. Pictures below demonstrate this.
I’d recommend filtered light. It doesn’t take up much room so it can fit into any garden. It’s a very “cute” species that people like. It’s also a wonderful patio plant. I’d give it filtered light. Cold tolerance is into the low 20’s F. These cycads are super easy to ship anywhere within the U.S. We ship plants in their containers, soil and all.
