Steve,
Thanks for that cycad pix link...I don't know how I missed that entire posting! Gorgeous!
OH! the seed had fallen off!!!
I thought it "morphed" into part of the root.
No root is showing at bottom.
I punched only 1 large hole in the container, versus numerous drain holes you have.
But if the young y.rostrata (from Carolina) are any indication, the roots are filling it.
The yuccas' roots in the same type of containers left a permanent impression on the container sides/bottom when I repotted them!
I'm always reluctant to handle these delicate cycads.
But you're right... a repot into the same container with more perlite added would give me a chance to look.
I'll do that tomorrow and keep you posted.
If during the repot, the seed "falls/gets bumped off", is that harmful to the cycad?
I suppose the plant is still getting nourishment if the seed is attached?
Thanks
Barb
