In its natural habitat, the plant can reach a height of up to \u003cstrong\u003e16 meters\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it one of the tallest species in the genus. Originating from lowland areas, where it grows at altitudes from \u003cstrong\u003e20 to 300 meters above sea level\u003c\/strong\u003e, this species naturally occurs in shaded ravines and canyons covered with evergreen tropical forests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14pt;\"\u003eBotanical Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe most distinctive feature of \u003cstrong style=\"color:#656B39;\"\u003eDioon spinulosum\u003c\/strong\u003e is its impressive \u003cstrong\u003epinnate leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e, which reach lengths of \u003cstrong\u003e1.5 to 2.1 meters\u003c\/strong\u003e. Each leaf consists of \u003cstrong\u003e120-240 small, flat leaflets\u003c\/strong\u003e ending in sharp spines, giving the plant its characteristic appearance. The intensely green leaves form a dense, regular crown, which combined with a massive trunk up to \u003cstrong\u003e40 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e in diameter, gives the plant an elegant, formal shape and provides additional stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe regular crown of long, glossy leaves combined with its impressive size makes this species extremely attractive both in garden cultivation and as a potted plant. The massive trunk and distinctive leaf arrangement make this plant a true ornament for any collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14pt;\"\u003eCultivation Requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#656B39;\"\u003eDioon spinulosum\u003c\/strong\u003e prefers a \u003cstrong\u003esubtropical or tropical climate\u003c\/strong\u003e, but can also survive in temperate climates if protected from severe frost. The plant is resistant to short-term, mild temperature drops, but prolonged exposure to frost can harm it, making it suitable for warmer regions of Europe or cultivation under controlled conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe species thrives best in \u003cstrong\u003ewell-draining soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, even if poor in nutrients but rich in calcium. Avoiding water stagnation is crucial, as it can lead to root rot. The plant requires \u003cstrong\u003eregular watering\u003c\/strong\u003e, but like most cycads, it does not tolerate excessive moisture in the substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14pt;\"\u003eGrowth and Development\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eIn cultivation, \u003cstrong style=\"color:#656B39;\"\u003eDioon spinulosum\u003c\/strong\u003e shows relatively \u003cstrong\u003efast growth for a cycad\u003c\/strong\u003e, especially when exposed to full sun. Its growth may be somewhat slower in shade but remains impressive. This flexibility in light requirements makes it one of the most low-maintenance cycads, tolerating both full sun and light shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14pt;\"\u003eUses in Cultivation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eDue to its decorative qualities and relatively \u003cstrong\u003elow maintenance needs\u003c\/strong\u003e, this species is an excellent choice for exotic plant enthusiasts. It performs well as a potted plant in greenhouses or on terraces, where it can serve as a striking, exotic accent. Its tall, slender trunk and dense crown of glossy leaves attract attention with their majestic appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eIn its natural environment, the population of this species is threatened due to its limited distribution and pressure from human activities, which further highlights the value of its cultivation in private collections and botanical gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mr.seed","offers":[{"title":"1","offer_id":52461543981384,"sku":"1183","price":19.5,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"5","offer_id":52461544014152,"sku":"1184","price":94.5,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"10","offer_id":52461544046920,"sku":"1185","price":175.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/2649\/0440\/files\/1358.jpg?v=1770321302","url":"https:\/\/www.mrseed.eu\/en\/products\/nasiona-dioon-olbrzymiego-dioon-spinulosum","provider":"mr.seed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
