Important Instructions for when you receive your plant. 1) Pot up or plant out your cycad in a well draining mix immediately. Do not leave it at the post office or wait to open your box. Have your potting medium ready to go. For experienced cycad growers we suggest that you use your best well draining cycad mix. For beginners you can use a Big Box store Cactus or Palm mix, but make sure to amend it with something that will improve it's drainage. i.e. pumice, perlite, vermiculite, sand. It is critical that your mix is well draining. As a rule of thumb blue cycads like 2/3 inorganics 1/3 organics and green cycads from tropical environments do well with about a 50/50 ratio of organics to inorganics. 2) Acclimate your cycad. Even if you have purchased a full sun ice blue cycad it is of utmost importance that you slowly acclimate your cycad. If not the leaves on your cycad may burn, and in extreme circumstances, your cycad can die. Unless you live in a zone with below freezing temperatures, start by placing your cycad outside of the greenhouse but still in the shade with morning sun at most. Then slowly move your cycad to locations that get more afternoon sun exposure. As your cycad gets used to more and more sun without burning you can eventually move it to a permanent full sun exposure location. This is especially important if you receive your cycad in the middle of summer when temperatures are high. This cycad will be shipped covered by sphaghnum moss, and taped down to the box. No international shipping. We can not be held responsible if your plant is seized en route. We guarantee that we will do everything possible to ensure that your cycad is shipped to you in healthy condition and that you are completely satisfied with your order.
