Plant Experts - Cycas Ruvolta

Post by CasKru »

I've got a fairly young Cycas Ruvolta plant and it is growing nicely. About four weeks ago it started growing, what I thought to be new leaves but this does not seem to be the case. (the three long stems)?

Wat net vir my baie snaaks is, is dat dit soveel langer as die ander is wat klaar daar is.

Maar iets wat my eintlik maak worry het (toe ek nou bietjie gaan oplees het) is dat die plant eintlik hoogs giftig is. Bleikbaar hou honde diere van die smaak van die plant en word so doende vergiftig :shock:

So met my dogtertjie (nou net oor die 2 jaar) dink ek nie so plant hoort in die huis nie :evil:

My ma het haar hand geprik op n broodboom se blaar en die dorinkies het groot vel irretasie veroorsaak so die plante is nogal geniepsig

Ek dink ek skyf hom eerder buite toe :)

Maar net so terloops... hy is net so goed binne maar soek 'n vertrek met baie helder lig. :)

Cas, mag ek iets voorstel ......gee die ou so n bietjie n groter pot dan sal hy vinniger en groter word. Ek gee myne so n bietjie bounce back en liquid fertiliser en die ou gaan lekker aan. Foto soos belowe.

Ja nee definitief. Ek gaat hom uitskyf (nou dat ek uit gevind het hy is giftig) en in 'n groter pot sit. Ek sien hulle se hy hou van redelik los grond (goeie dreinering) en genoeg son. :)

Die plekkie wat ek in gedagte het sal probably so 2 ure oggend son kry en dan weer miskien so uur of wat laat middag son.

Revoluta's can take sun and frost.
Put it in a sunny plase in a bigg pot or in the garden.
The more you water and fertilise the bigger it will become, more thane 2 meters tall. and 2 meters wide. Thay even make baby's from the bottem that can be planted.
What we dont realise is plants don't grow to well in small contaners. Give them space.

Cassie, did you perhaps move the plant. Perhaps it was growing slow due to unhappiness and then you moved it to a better spot which resulted in the new longer leaves.

You can plant it outside in the garden in full sun, they area beautiful outside and much happier in the ground than in a pot.
