Cycads are often grown by collectors of cacti and other succulent plants. If the smaller species are selected it is possible to grow a mature plant of a reasonable size for a small glasshouse. Cycads should be generally regarded as poisonous to livestock as they contain the unique methylazoxymethanol-glycoside neurotoxins Cycasin and Macrozamin. There does not seem to be a problem with growing and handling Cycads as long as no parts are eaten, although it might be wise to use gloves when cleaning the seeds as these contain the highest concentration of toxins.
