Does the iron tree bloom?

1. Whether it can bloom

The cycad tree, which we call the cycad, can bloom, but few people have seen it bloom. This is because it grows very slowly. It takes at least a dozen years for it to bloom, so it is not very common. Its flowering period is around June to August, during which the flowers are male; it blooms around October to November, during which time the flowers are female. Strictly speaking, there is no regular pattern for the flowering of the iron tree. If the cultivation environment is suitable, it may bloom every year, but sometimes it will only bloom once every many years.

2. Flowering Environment

The climate environment in the southern region is very suitable for its growth, and it is easy to bloom. If planted in the north, not only is the temperature low, but the climate is also very dry, which will affect its growth, making it difficult to bloom. If you want it to bloom, you should ensure that the breeding temperature is not too low, and that it receives more sunlight. Don't water it too much, and water it only after the soil becomes dry.

3. Notes

Its flowering period lasts about one to two months, and white fruits will be produced after flowering. When its fruits grow and mature, they will turn orange-red or reddish-brown. Please note that these fruits are poisonous, so do not eat them.
