Dioon edule Mexican Fern Palm Cycad
Cycad Requirements
Mexican Fern Palm Cycad prefers full sun and an irrigation bubbler line will need to be installed with at least 1 good soaking per week during dry season. This grows well in alkaline to slightly acidic, well-drained soils. It is slightly salt tolerant and can handle cold snaps into the lower twenties. It is relatively drought tolerant as well, likely due to the climate of its country of origin.
Cycad Description
Mexican Fern Palm Cycad has an overall height of 12 feet usually, though they are incredibly slow growing. With stiff leaflets and a palme blue-green hue, this is considered one of the more delicate looking cycads.
