Cycas clivicola seeds
Discover the extraordinary Cycas clivicola seeds, a rare and captivating cycad native to the limestone cliffs of Thailand and Malaysia .

The plant features bright green or grey-green leaves that are semi-glossy and slightly keeled, adding a touch of exotic beauty to any collection. Mature plants may produce yellow to brown cones, with female plants developing deeply pectinate megasporophylls .
Ideal for succulent enthusiasts, cycad collectors, and bonsai artists, Cycas clivicola thrives in well-draining, alkaline soil and prefers full sun to light shade . It is highly drought-tolerant and can withstand dry periods, making it suitable for tropical gardens or as a container plant in cooler climates . Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry between sessions, and reduce watering in winter to mimic its natural dormancy. Fresh seeds germinate best at temperatures of 20°C–25°C (68°F–77°F) when sown in a sandy, well-draining medium, though germination can be slow and may take 4-6 weeks or longer .
⚠️ Warning: All parts of the plant are poisonous if ingested due to toxic compounds. Keep away from children and pets .
Each seed order includes a detailed germination guide. Due to its habitat on inaccessible limestone cliffs, Cycas clivicola is not considered threatened, but cultivation from seeds supports ethical conservation efforts .
