Cycas daboensis

Just snagged a few of these and curious to how much sun they can handle?

Cycas debaoensis will look best and stay green longer as opposed to brown tipping if you give them half day sun with a preference toward am sun and late pm shade in my experience.  When planted in more shade, expect growth to be slower.  My experience growing them in the coastal zone of California (Leucadia & Carlsbad).

Good to know thanks man! Never dabbled with cycad species until recently so a entirely new spectrum.

Leaves on a Cycas daboensis unfurling this week in the understory of my short Trachycarpus princeps. Where I am, growing them in a bit of shade keeps the Cycas leaves from developing a yellowish green color.

Here is a pic of mine (In central Florida) growing at the end of a pool deck in full sun (perhaps partially filtered by pool screen?). It has grown much larger and much more robust than the one I have in the shade but the shaded one's leaves look more delicate.

That is a stunning specimen. I like how you showcased it on the "rock" planter!

It’s cool because it looks like a giant fern hanging over the pool! Perfect plant for that location
