I just about have all my plants out of the greenhouse,now so I can give it a good cleaning!!!
Steve, I posted a thread about new growth. Any way you can take pics of new Cycad flush since they are out and "poseing" for us 🙂
Cycads are my favorites. Palms OK to me know, but they are so much harder to care for. Cycads are much slower, but so much easier.
Hope to make it down this week sometime. Lemme know what you want, I will send a PM.
Wes, ( Kansas)
I like growing both!!
Palms can be touchy about soil moisture in the colder months, ( as well as Cycads) Trial and error will show what works in your conditions 8)
Most of my stuff is still small - It's great to watch them grow!

Don, Yours should be starting up anytime now! ( A shot of fertilizer will sometimes help wake them up too 8)

Steve,
Looking good there,no signs here yet,and have given fertilizer a couple times.
Get any of that rain ????
12.26 inches of rain yesterday............The weather station in Bennington is probably underwater since they are no longer reporting --> http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KKSBENNI1&day=24&year=2007&month=5
(EDIT---> Actually only 10.78 inches on 5/24)

Here's a pic that'll cheer Steve up...and all other cardboard palm lovers.

Sorry, my Mom's camara is not as clear as ya'all's. But here are some of my Cycad flushes.
This is one of the 4 Taitungensis X Guizhouensis Hybrids from seed. All 4 look exactly like this one & flush. These are so cute and TOUGH!!!!
This is a Taitungensis w/ a golfball size caudex.
This is the Cardboard palm that if it cones, I need to find someone w/ a mate. The flush is sooo cute.
This is the smaller of my Wilailik in flush. This looks to have the making of a NICE leaf!!!
This is my best looking King. It not only has the pup, but is finishing off a 17 leaf flush. You can barely tell the new leafs from the old ones which tells me that this is a HEALTHY King. Another "Wal Mart" special.
This is my 2' tall Tait. It is pushing up the new flush as you can see, but I HOPE it is opening by Saturday for my party.
Looking good 8) Curious about pot planting the Cycads, Are you going to pull them out for Winter or leave them as is?
I've read where it may be of some benefit with Palms but have not tried it on Cycads.
