FILTERED LIGHT IN GARDEN OR INSIDE THE HOME
GREEN LEAVES, ELEGANT
This species of a green cycad can be grown in the garden or as an interior palm. Although you can’t tell from the photos here, this cycad species can get quite tall. I’ve seen photos from habitat with what appears to be over 20 feet of trunk. But, such heights would require several centuries to occur. Dioon spinulosum is native to tropical areas in Mexico where it grows in limestone forests. Trunks don’t get overly thick, typically 12 to 14 inches thick – but domestically often thinner. Leaves are green and mildly armed. Leaf length is about six feet. My preference is to grow this species in filtered light. Cold tolerance is into the mid twenties F. At the nursery we usually have a good selection of this species from small to large. We’re putting a nice 15 gallon on sale – this actual plant. It has a caudex 7 inches wide and 10 inches tall. Of note, oversized 1 gallon also on
This plant can be mail ordered in a very large box. |
