Barb,
Thanks for the comments! Haven't had the opportunity to try Cycas debaoensis, so I may not be much help on identifying which end is which 😐 (maybe someone with more experience will chime in)
Anyways, if in doubt, just place them on their sides about half way into the medium.
Once they germinate, you can let me know which end is which ( and don't forget the photos 😀

Hopefully the fact that they're planted almost horizontally should work no matter what they decide to do.
I'll get the hang of this one day...
Camera will be ready when these do SOMETHING...
I really like the look of that "hamburger" / "clam-smile" on yours.

Nice.
Wow, look at the size of that thing going down into the soil!
Bigger than my C.panzhihuaensis and C.debaoensis seedling roots.
This'll be a strong plant.

This one took a year from germination to first frond! 😆

A year!
No wonder they're rare...those of us without necessary germination skills have given up.
This'll be a stunning plant.
Look forward to all your pictures.

Hi Barb,
All that's really neccesary is a sterile germination media, and patience!
These have been slow for me, but I'm sure somewhere they grow like weeds 😀

You forgot to mention only one thing, Steve.
"...and remember where you put 'em while waiting a year." 😆 😆

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.
