I bought this from TYTY (yeah I know) but came to me in good shape. Planted in a pot and put it my office at work. It was a little too cool outside when I got it. It started to slowly turn brown. SO I took it home and put it outside. Then it quickly turned real brown. SO I figured I murdered it. I tookand chopped all the leaves or whatever their called. Left the bulb in the pot and bam 2 weeks later I looked at it and see growth. Sorry about the blurry photo. Tried taking a macro lense shot without a tripod.

Congrats! Always nice to see a recovery

Looks like you've got a nice Dioon Spinulosum there. Robert Chumley

Moving right along! It must be happy with the care it's getting
Do you have it in full sun?
(trying to decide where the best spot for mine would be)

Bob, Thanks for the info. They all seem to be settling in and starting to display some growth.
(Both of the Dioons are probably a week or two away from starting a flush )

That Spinulosum had a 5-6' spread when I dug it forom the seed colony. I was impressed with the amount of trunk. I hope they are all that way. Bob

Bob, are you saying I should not let this plant get full sun all day? Just about 30% of the day?

If you want nice looking leaves.....when the leaves are emerging....a 66% shade/34% sun is perfect. My statement was meaning not more than 30% sun and certainly not full sun (or you will have some very yellow ugly leaves). My Spinulosum never see "full sun" and I have about 2,000 total with most of them planted under a huge canopy of oak trees.(see Spinulosum forrest by clicking on May 2008 at this link:

Thanks Bob. You need to save your images at a better resolution. Try 700 pix width.
