CYCA CIRCINALIS
An extraordinary plant, protected because it is considered an endangered species. It must be accompanied by the CITES certificate, which we have since we are cycas cultivators recognized by the authorities -- CITES Costa Rica and CITES Zurich.
This species used to dominate Earth in the Jurassic Era, and its reproductive mechanism is incredibly efficient.
This plant has a faster growth than the revoluta. Its leaves are longer and more delicate. The final placement of this plant should consider these characteristics and it should be protected from excessive wind, cold below 50oF, and dryness resulting from lack of humidity in the environment.
