My #cycas plant is suffering some disease or pest, not confirm, but due to same new leaves are infected like pic, and growth is very slow, does someone know the problem/ solution? Don't get proper #plantid in #gardentag collection.
Cycads are also not fans of direct mid day sun which can lead to scorching of foliage. Regular watering & a location out of mid day sun & obviously protection from winter cold can help although once damaged there isn't any way of making the effected branch look 100% healthy again. You have to wait for fresh ones to take over. Not the easiest of things to grow in my opinion.
No sign of scale or mealey bugs, possibly early thrips damage or another sucking insect as damage has dried it is old damage. Doesen't look like spider mites either. When looking for insects tapping a stem over a piece of white paper will allow you to see easier @ankur1406

Thanks @robbiec
@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom yellowing in cyads can also be due to incorrect watering.

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @DebsC neither it's feeding problem nor watering problem, but I agree with @moore.794
