# Cycas Revoluta Dwarf

## Cycas Revoluta Dwarf

**[Cycas revoluta 'Dwarf'](https://seedlingsindia.in)** is a compact cultivar of the popular **Sago Palm**, prized for its slow growth, symmetrical rosette of glossy fronds, and architectural appearance. Although commonly called a palm, it is actually a **cycad**—an ancient group of plants that has existed for over 250 million years. Its manageable size makes it ideal for containers, patios, and small gardens.

### Key Features

-   **[Growth](https://seedlingsindia.com) Type:** Slow-growing evergreen cycad
-   **Trunk:** Short, stout, woody trunk that thickens gradually with age
-   **Leaves:** Dark green, glossy, feather-like fronds arranged in a dense, symmetrical crown
-   **Leaflets:** Narrow, stiff, and slightly curved, giving the plant a graceful, elegant appearance
-   **Size:** Typically reaches **30–90 cm (1–3 feet)** in height, making it much smaller than the standard _Cycas revoluta_

### Growth Habit

The dwarf form is valued for its:

-   Compact and symmetrical growth
-   Slow development, requiring minimal pruning
-   Dense crown of attractive evergreen foliage
-   Excellent suitability for pot culture and bonsai-style displays

### Growing Conditions

**Light:**  
Thrives in **full sun to partial shade**. Bright light encourages compact growth and healthy foliage.

**Soil:**  
Requires a **well-draining soil mix**, such as:

-   Sandy loam
-   Cactus or succulent mix with added pumice or coarse sand

**Watering:**

-   Water moderately during the growing season
-   Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings
-   Reduce watering during cooler months
-   Avoid waterlogged soil to prevent root rot

**Temperature:**

-   Ideal range: **20–35°C**
-   Tolerates brief cool temperatures but should be protected from prolonged frost

### Care Tips

-   Fertilize 2–3 times during spring and summer with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer.
-   Remove only old or yellowing fronds to maintain its neat appearance.
-   Grow in a **clay pot** with good drainage if kept as a container plant.
-   Repot infrequently, as cycads prefer to remain slightly root-bound.

### Propagation

-   **Offsets (Pups):** Mature plants may produce basal offsets that can be carefully removed and rooted.

### Uses
