Normaly ist around 100w/meter cable. I have noticed that its a good idea to wrap the whole palm with heatingcable and not just the roots like i did. Now when the temp is very low the cable doesnt heat enough! Heatingcables vary their temp. a lot. Most of them only gets around 40 degrees C. I know one that gets 35 degrees warm but also up to 65 degrees Celsius and even more. Think of this when you buy heatingcables. We dont want the palm to get burned 🙂 (I guess you all know this... i have just escaped from my wifes "tidy up in the house")

Gotta run before she finds out i have deserted her! 😆

Stefano,
it varies by length, and also among different manufacturers for the same length.
All are quite low. My one trial with Christmas lights uses 125 watts for a single string, which I think is as much as all of my pipe heating cables combined.
I'll record them when I get home if W has not discarded the packaging while I am away.

I have also been taking photos of ornamental Cycads growing here which I cannot identify. One is nearly as big as the Cycas you have.

I'll try to take shark photos for you today (nurse sharks).
One of these years you and I should meet up to swim with whale sharks!

Hi, nurse shark pictures? Send them to my e-mail address info@stefanobarone.net. I love nurse sharks.
Take pictures of the big cycas too.
best regards
Stefano

I just sent you two shark photos from snorkeling yesterday plus three of the cycad. One shows the entire plant, one shows the base with seedlings growing, some embedded in the trunk; the last shows the crown. Apparently the New York Botanical Garden could only ID it to "Cycas sp." and so that is how it appears in the book, "Plants of Caye Caulker."

Here is me buying a copy of the text from one of the authors:

I am as much a bibliophile as a palmophile 😀

Hi, I've received all the pictures! Nice sharks: are you there on Holiday? I am a bibliophile too, I love bopth modern and ancient naturalistic books. I have also many 1700-1800 naturalistic engravings.
