    Hi there,

    My cycad's leaves look rather yellowy. I'm not sure what going on.

    Actually it looks quite green in the photo, but it really had a yellow tinge to the leaves which are usually dark green.

    Happy gardening!
    Fin

    They always went yellow on me as well.
    Not grown one for years, thinking it maybe an iron deficiency.:scratch:

    Are you in the hard water area like me?

    Thanks, yes, I'm in a hard water area, but we've had this plant for about 9 years and it's been very healthy for most of that time, it's only this season that it's looking a bit yellowy.
    I've given it a sea weed feed, so hopefully any deficiencies will be covered.
