Repotting: Cycads that have just been purchased do not need to be repotted, but they will need to be repotted later as the roots and trunk grow. Watering: Cycads are relatively drought tolerant and do not like moisture. After buying a new plant, if the soil is relatively dry, you need to water it. Do not water it too much. Lighting: After buying it new, you can place the cycad in a sunny environment to allow it to receive a certain amount of light, but the light intensity should not be too strong, and it should be shaded appropriately when encountering strong light. Fertilization: Do not fertilize the newly purchased cycad, because it has just arrived in the new environment and has not yet adapted to the new environment. It has poor ability to absorb fertilizer and is prone to root burn.

1. Repotting
There is no need to repot during the period after you just bought it. Firstly, the current potting soil is enough to support the normal growth of cycads. Secondly, cycads are now relatively fragile and need to be repotted. Pots can easily damage plants. But as it continues to grow, the roots and trunk will become larger, and within 2-3 years, it will need to be changed to a more suitable pot.
2. Watering
When you first buy the cycad, don’t water it in a hurry. If the pot soil is dry, you can water it appropriately. Be careful not to water it too much. Waterlogged roots often occur. If the soil is moist, do not water.
3. Light
Cycad likes Sunlight, so after buying it, you can put it in the sun for cultivation, but be careful that the light intensity is not too strong, and it cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, because it is relatively fragile now and can easily be sunburned by strong light, so it needs to be properly shaded.
4. Fertilization
Don’t fertilize yet I am in a hurry to fertilize the cycad I just bought because it has just arrived in the new environment and has not yet adapted to it. It has poor ability to absorb fertilizer and is prone to root burn. After it adapts to the environment, apply some light fertilizer every half month to promote growth.
