Great thanks. I went ahead and put the heater back in the GH just to be safe.
Here they are on 4/10/08
This one may need the old leafs cut off come time to put out in the yard.
This one has all the leafs from last two flushes. This one is REALLY healthy!
This one had all the leafs from last year dry up and brown. I thought it was dying. So I repotted and then...
I know this gets old, but I can not tell you enough how much good ole fashion cow manure does for these. Before with chemical ferts, I would still get one flush a year. With Natural cow manure, I get two to three a year.

I just put some around my cycads. I hope it works because neither of my two cycads look great after this winter.

Lemme know Wes in about a month (or less) if it worked. These three were kept all Winter in a cold cold garage in a wodden box with light on them constantly, but again, it was very cold. I brought them in and watered them with some manure and in month I had this.
When I put it on, I also water the heck out of it and use the hose to stir it in. I use the hose to push in the manure to mix it all together. One thing, I would NOT do it it inside or water them inside after you do it as there is visibly yellow "water" that comes out the bottom of the pot 😉
But make sure you keep me/us updated!

I will keep you posted. Mine are planted outside in the garden so no worries about yellow water leaking in the house.

AWESOME flush Dean. And by the looks of the previous flush, that is a VERY healthy cycad.

Dean,
Your Sago is picture perfect 8)
Good to see your Dioons making a comeback! My Sago's are finishing up their first flush, not sure if there is going to be room for another one 😆

I think your mistaken. Those are not Steve's "Dioons". Those are Steve's Revolutas.

Your right! 😐
