Updates and new starters...

The Willy from last post. 4 leafs and they are BEAUTIFUL. Still, my favorite Cycad.

The Ceratazamia from my last post. Steve, is the Latifolia (sp?) species then?

A Dioon Edule seedling that migh be putting out it's first multiple leaf flush.

Zamia Pumila with two heads, the one I trimmed over Winter has a nice flush starting.

Spinulosum that I cut the leaves off last Winter has new flush of at least 4 leafs, maybe more.

Wes,

Looks like Ceratozamia latifolia to me, I think we both got ours at the same place too 😀
Mine is holding two fronds from last year, hoping to see at least one more this year.

Your stuff looks good! Great to see things growing again 8)

Wes, Looking good 8)
Have you had any problems with roots growing out the drain holes when you lift them out for the winter?

Steve

I actually tape a mesh material to the bottom in which the water can drain, yet keeps roots from growing into the soil. HOWEVER, some of these roots are real go getters and actually break the mesh. The good thing about Cycads is that when that happens, you just have to let them dry out and scab over and all is good.

Wes, Thanks for the info!

These Dioons are outpacing the Sagos this year 8)

Steve

OMG that is BEAUTIFUL!

I agree 8) These Dioons have great emergent colors, the one starting in the GH has a real nice purple/blue color.

Here's some more Cycas sp. "Wilailak" fronds opening, up against the ceiling...
Need to replace the roof this year, going to add a little more height 😀
