Cycas Circinalis, commonly known as the Queen Sago Palm, is an ancient and strikingly beautiful plant that adds a tropical and elegant feel to both indoor and outdoor spaces. With its long, arching, feather-like fronds that grow in a circular pattern, this plant resembles a palm but is actually a member of the cycad family. Known for its slow growth and resilience, the Queen Sago Palm is perfect for creating a focal point in any space, and its prehistoric appearance adds a sense of grandeur. Despite its palm-like look, it is easy to care for and thrives in a variety of environments.

Type of Light: Bright, Indirect Light to Partial Shade
Queen Sago Palm thrives in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter climates. It grows best in well-lit areas, though direct sunlight should be avoided as it can cause leaf burn. Indoors, place it near a window with filtered light for optimal growth.

Watering: Moderate Water Requirement
Water Cycas Circinalis when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically every 1-2 weeks. It prefers evenly moist soil but is somewhat drought-tolerant, so be sure not to overwater. Ensure the plant has good drainage to prevent root rot, especially during cooler months when its growth slows and it requires less water.

Companion Planting:
Queen Sago Palm pairs beautifully with other tropical or prehistoric-looking plants such as Bird of Paradise, Philodendron, or Fiddle Leaf Fig. For a fuller arrangement, consider pairing it with lower-growing plants like Ferns or Peace Lily, which add texture and thrive in similar light and moisture conditions. These companions help create a lush, tropical environment that complements the Cycas Circinalis’s grand appearance.
