the wild sago  grow under a desne canopuy and have laz foliage. grown in
full sun they shorten up and stiffen, and can yellow if burned. I grew a
large number of cycads for years under nothing but showplights augmented by
dim boston widow light. they were FINE.

now that I live in S. CAl. I find myself lookingf for shadier spots to
plant them. unless they are Blue leafed ones, full sun is not so
great...[lanting them in the ground gives them a greter tolerance to sun.
but they vary in their ability to accept lighiting.
