This is another nice looking Ceratozamia.

Some more info: http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/cycadpg?taxname=Ceratozamia+microstrobila

Going to use a heated soak for several days, then half buried in perlite and into the propagator.
Will post the results!

Seeds,

Steve

Had no luck with these 😐

They swelled and split, not sure if I put them down too early, a temperature issue, non viable, etc.?
(sometimes it takes a few tries 😀

I ended up putting the container in a corner of the GH and forgetting about it.
Just noticed it today, and had a nice surprise 8)

Congrats, Steve.
Sometimes putting them in a corner does the trick.

I'll go check one of my corners for a Bizzie 😥

Almost 11 months later, another one has germinated!
Maybe I'll get 100% germination out of these yet, even though it might take a few years 😆
