Ceratozamia robusta is native to Belize, Guatemala, and Mexico, growing in subtropical moist lowland forests. It is a medium to large sized cycad. It can develop a trunk of up to 6 feet tall and 1 foot in diameter over time. Its leaves project upward and outward from the trunk, spreading in a lovely dark leaf flush. This cycad has dark green smooth leaves. It does well in tropical and subtropical climates. It can handle temperatures to a few degrees below freezing. In areas that experience frost, it is a good idea to plant C. robusta in an area that gets overhead protection or radiated heat from a structure or wall. This is a strong growing species which can either stay solitary or form an impressive clump over time. Younger plants can do well in a large container, but this plant needs to be planted in the ground to achieve its full potential. Protect C. robusta from dry, hot sun. Morning sun or filtered sun work best for this plant. It does well with regular watering, mulching and fertilizer. Ceratozamia robusta Seedlings Ceratozamia robusta Seeds
