How the guide is calculated
Concentrate (ml) = water (l) × 5 ÷ 1.5.
Prepare a clean container
Use a suitable clean watering can or sprayer and follow this product's water directions.
Choose the water volume
Choose the amount actually needed. Check root-ball moisture and drainage before watering.
Add water first
Start with part of the selected water volume.
Shake and measure
Shake the bottle well. Measure the concentrate calculated for the selected water volume accurately.
Add the concentrate
Add the measured amount to the water; never apply concentrate directly to the plant.
Top up and mix
Top up to the chosen water volume and mix thoroughly. Water or spray according to this product's own directions.
When to feed? 5 ml per 1.5 litres of water 5 ml per 1.5 litres of water. Every 3–4 weeks during active growth. Regular application period: April–September. The German back label allows double strength during new growth and after pruning. This exception does not replace assessing the plant; green fronds should not be routinely removed. Do not use undiluted. Shake well before use. Preferably use low-lime water or rainwater at 15–25 °C. Do not apply in direct sunlight or at temperatures below 5 °C or above 30 °C. Apply to a pre-moistened root zone or spray the foliage. Do not spray open flowers.
Watering · through the roots

Growth & nutrient uptake
Leaves use light; roots take up water and mineral nutrients. The diagrams show how plant organs work together and how nutrients are absorbed.
Roots, foliage and growth
RootsFine roots contact soil water. Their cell membranes regulate uptake of dissolved nutrients.
Check root-zone moisture before watering. Needs rise during warm new growth and fall in cool conditions. Keep drainage free and avoid persistently wet compost or water collecting in the crown.
FrondsNarrow leathery leaflets have slightly rolled edges. New fronds are soft and sensitive at first.
Cycas is neither a palm nor a fern. Retain healthy green fronds; as a gymnosperm it produces neither flowers nor true fruits.
Shoots and habitA short trunk, taller with age, carries a symmetrical crown of stiff pinnate leaves. Slow growth often occurs in flushes.
Healthy fronds produce energy. Do not remove them to force a new crown.

Application & calculator →Growing conditions & care problems
Adapt care to the growing conditions and stage of growth. If you notice changes, check light, water and roots first — then take targeted action.
Growing conditions
In containers
Check root-zone moisture before watering. Needs rise during warm new growth and fall in cool conditions. Keep drainage free and avoid persistently wet compost or water collecting in the crown.
In the garden
Very bright, with gradual acclimation to summer sun. Aerated medium and free drainage are essential; do not bury the trunk base.
Winter and rest
Overwinter containers in bright frost-free conditions. USDA ratings for plants in the ground do not establish frost safety for a pot.
Planting and repotting
Choose timing by species and growth, checking medium and drainage. Follow the full instructions for the linked growing medium.
Observe and identify the cause
Position & water first
Very bright, with gradual acclimation to summer sun. Aerated medium and free drainage are essential; do not bury the trunk base.
Recognise pests
Scale and mealybugs can occur on fronds and their bases; inspect new plants carefully.
Assess damage
Check yellowing fronds for water, light and root problems first. A wet soft trunk base calls for investigating the cause.
Discuss the care problem
These details help assess the problem:
- Record plant species, position and recent changes.
- Describe root-ball moisture, drainage and previous feeds.
- Provide an overview and clear photos of affected organs.
This guidance supports investigation; it does not replace a reliable diagnosis or authorised plant-protection directions.
