Not much going on right now with everything inside under grow lights and little to no water but......
My big Taitungensis is starting a flush of at least 9 leafs. I cut the old flush off to make room in my house, but you can't stop these from growing 😀 ...
Close up on Tait flush..

Zamia Loddigisii, these seem to be growing at all times
Encephalartos Ferox that is a fast grower.

Wes, looking forward to seeing how well your C.taitungensis does this summer!
What size container do you have it in?
Not much going on here, dropped a small fan on top of this Zamia floridana a month ago and crunched it, starting to recover.
Cycas maconochiei starting a new frond,
Just noticed this Cycas sp. "Wilailak" starting at least one frond, this has sat for a long time with no leaves.
(It kept getting larger, just no leaves 😀

Thats the thing with those Willy's Steve, they seem to grow year round, maybe not leaves, but the "trunk" seems to grow girth all the time. Willys are my favorite cycad.

It's still deciding whether to keep growing or not 😀
(we're supposed to have some warmer temps this week)

Yea, those willy's are the bomb. My largest is putting a two leafer out also, but I need to put it outside as the leafs are stretching too far like the Tait and they are about a foot taller then the other leafs.
My Rumphii is putting out a good leaf. Steve, do you have a Rumphii? If no, you REALLY need to get one.

I would have to rank it the #3 top grower in my collection behind the Taitungensis & the Willy.
