dioon edule spotting kept indoors

[TTYung]

I know this is probably not an indoor palm but I have one given to me by a friend. It is now spotting and I do not know what to do. Any help or information would be grateful. I do not know much of anything about cycads or palms....

Can I keep the dioon edule indoors?

What can I do to help it? I live in Portland.

You are probably only getting about 8 to 10 hours of good sunlight this time of year so try to give it as much as possible. You can pretty much grow anything indoors though. Try using grow lamp or bulb to make sure it gets enough sun..

I use a lamp on all my palm trees that are kept indoors. I actually have a full sun palm growing perfect indoors. A couple of lights replaced with grow lights and you should be ok. Also a ornamental fertilizer will help.
